The fact that he’s not still banging them in for is though.That's not very ****ty imo
Maybe it just proves that we need players who take fewer shots.
And stick to pints, presumably.
Only Fulham has taken a larger percentage of their shots from outside the box this year. Dating back to 2016-17, we have taken 443 long shots, and scored on approximately 1 out of every 49 attempts.
Judging by Qwerty's post above yours, we need to recall a certain Dutch garden gnome from Feyenoord!...
We shoot more then. The goals will come quicker
If we take an average of one long shot every 45 seconds, we'll score more than two goals a game!
You say long range shot, I say long range pass to the other team's goalkeeper.
Daily Mail report on Mark Hughes going to be taking our goal shy strikers back to basics....... "Guys! That wooden structure with a net in, that's the goal...."
Teams are less likely to concede goals if the opposition are limited to long shots. I remember Nigel Adkins saying that when we were good.
Long shots at goal excite fans and look great if they succeed, but a high number of them suggest we are desperate (without the skill to score from many of them). I have to admit though that I would probably be calling for the player to shoot out of pure desperation. 
Yes! Ive wanted Saints to have one of these type stats, the type the big boys have. That must be one win in about 25 games!
