It wasn't a case of inaccurate shooting rather shooting at defenders - most of the shots got deflected for corners.
We looked a lot more of an attacking threat with both Kane and Soldado on the pitch. I like Lamela, but for the next game I'd be tempted to drop one of him or Chadli for Harry, and bring in Soldado for Adebayor (who aside from his goal contributed nothing).
I think where we're really struggling at the moment is our lack of width. In Poch's system this has to come from the full backs and ours just aren't good enough. Rose has looked much improved but unfortunately cannot cross a ball. Dier is not a right back and it shows in an attacking sense. I'd be tempted to try Lennon at right back in the Europa League, see if he can play there.
I was going to make the point that shots were deflected rather than simply inaccurate, particularly in reference to this:It wasn't a case of inaccurate shooting rather shooting at defenders - most of the shots got deflected for corners.
.Most wasteful was Christian Eriksen who had five shots without landing one on target....
Which never helps cause after the corner has been delivered, we are either defending a counter attack, or passing the ball back to Lloris.
We would be better just pretending the deflections never happened and tell the ref "No ref its a goal kick" and try and get back in position
Agreed!
Do other teams have a <1% scoring rate from corners too? There just seems no point to them. I can't remember us scoring from a corner since the old Anderton-Sheringham combo. It's like they've been tactically defended out of existence.
