Shooting

[Leo No.8]

Why is it our shooting is so diabolical these days? Ever since Gera on the first day of the season teams seem to be rocketing them in from 25 yards all the time with these new balls (another two belters today) yet our shooting from distance is consistently awful.

 

Case in point is Gerrard - what on earth has happened to his shot? Stevie used to be one of the best and cleanest strikers of a ball in the world, but these days his shooting is almost comically bad - he actually can't seem to even get the ball even close to being on target. Yet in his heyday he used to astonish me with his ability to strike a clean ball even when seemingly off balance or on the half volley.

 

People are thinking Gerrard's influence is waning, but I think his legs are fine - its his shooting that has gone completely to pot. It's bizarre seeing as its not something you would expect to go with age. Only Suarez has been able to strike from any distance - the rest just scuff and slice it.
