I eh go spend much more time on this, but Chelsea took more shots from outside of the box than any other team in the Premiership last season. The conversion rate is very low (for any team). In my opinion it is not something we need to be doing more of.
Yuh might as well had not, jed, because yuh talkin' ah pack ah ass. Jes' like how allyuh was ridin' in Ramires ass, yuh kinda overdoin' it wit Torres now. We KNOW he has been a disappointment so far but gih de man a break now nuh, he done score 2 arready fuh de still short season. Is not
HIS fault (alone) that the team....."didn't take many shots". He is the only one on the team? On the one hand yuh complaining that "...we didn't take many shots.." and somehow making the link to Chelsea's drop in shooting "statistics" to Torres' "not changing"......when I point out that Chelsea has not shot EFFECTIVELY and CONSISTENTLY from medium to long range over the last few seasons and make the connection to
Lampard's drop off in both and in scoring, you telling me how Chelsea shooting the most and scoring the most (from two seasons ago) and taking the most shots from outside the box.....but yuh still cyah tell meh how consistently and to what (required positive) effect it is being done, yuh jes reading off of arbitrary numbers. How many corners they may have created, how many goals were scored either directly or indirectly as a result of them taking timely shots on goal instead of pussy-footing around the box sometimes, that is what I lookin' at. If our shooting stats and scoring are so great, WDF yuh complaining about 2 games into the season with a +4 goal difference? Why is it Torres' fault that (according to you) Chelsea taking the most shots but not taking many shots? Which one is it? The team playin' the best yuh have ever seen them play and Torres is right up in there being just as much a part as Hazard and Mata are.....and yuh still misappropriating blame on de man....allyuh rel good oui!
Even the Holding Nigerian shooting from outside the box.
that same Holding Nigerian I can probably count on one hand, the number of shots he has taken since he has joined the club and I can count on one finger, the number of goals he has scored. He can only shoot from outside the box because the only box he does get into with any frequency is his own.....maybe ONE of his shots were ever on target, most of them have gone wide.....to no effect. He is not a good shooter, for whatever reason.
