Big problem of us. In his first season, Tavernier tried his luck from open play quite often, but threw his shooting boots away thereafter. Last season, Aribo, Kent, Arfield and Jack had short streaks of attempts from distance, but forgot it thereafter. Ojo - probably due to his youthful enthusiasm - tried things others did not and banged some fine goals in. Hagi came and also had some fine efforts from distance. It is quite important that we do this regularly, not least with these packed defences. Time and again we try to dance our way through line after line of defence, only to lose out 8 out of 10 times. Bang (hopefully) precise balls in cause panic with deflection and clearing attempts. 4th official now reports that the Hagi deal is done.

Yes, that's certainly true - and then when they did take a shot it was pitiful.

About time I whip up the Summer Transfer Thread ...

He wasn't played out wide: we don't play with wingers. Just sayin'. (The idea of building the team around him in a more traditional central position in still valid, though.)
