Out of curiosity.. (self.reddevils)

Can anyone enlighten me as to why we seem to have this huge aversion to actually taking a shot? It seems that any chance we get, we just pass it sideways or backwards again, never taking the first chance we get?

I was at OT on Thursday when we played Liverpool and the frustration from the fans surrounding this was extremely apparent.

60% possession is more important than goals for the philosophy

Shot taken and missed = giving away possession

Giving away possession = very angry LVG

:/

Very angry LVG = benched

E.G.: Memphis.

If you don't have the ball you can't score. If the opponent has the ball they can score. The flaw in keep as much possession of the ball until you have a high chance to score is trying to filter out the randomness/luck factor. Football is less chess than pinball most of the times.

Wow, that's one way to suffocate the team.

Most likely the way LVG trains the players? He's probably forced them to only play safe and if they take a shot from distance, he makes them feel bad for giving up possession if they miss.

There was an article that came out a while ago saying that LVG actually highlighted in training when a player missed a shot. I don't know if this is true but the amount of pressure you put on a player because of this is enormous and it makes them feel scared to shoot and lose possession.

This is true for Falcao last season. There were a number of games where he would miss a half chance, and the camera close up would show his face being absolutely gutted because it was probably the only chance he'd get on the day.

Maybe that's why Di Maria wasn't favored too

Apparently LvG (based on some sort of statistical analysis) decided that taking a touch and then shooting is the way to do it, I think Herrera has talked about it, he instructs his players to not shoot on their first touch. This means that most of the time players will missed that small window you get to take a shot because by the time they took a touch they've got closed down (imo this especially true in the PL).

The funny (frustrating) thing is that if you watch our 99 Treble winning campaign, we score SO MANY goals from deflected shots so idk what stat LvG was looking at but I don't agree with it... at the end of the day if taking a touch is preventing you from shooting, that's a problem. You miss every shot you don't take.

LVG wants to establish a new league called the "English Possession League"

3 points for the team with most possession. yellow card if a goal is scored and a red for a hattrick.
