Are players personal ball retention and passes completed stats having a negative impact?
Is the lack of goal scoring opportunity hampered by players choosing the safe pass rather than the one that opens up defenses?
I need an answer to why our players create so few goal scoring opportunities and I wondered if this could be a factor?

Was reading an opinion piece earlier via Google where Tim Howard was saying Pep has ruined football with average / poor players trying to emulate all this possession and play out from the back stuff they haven't got the ability to pull off. When he mentioned blooper reels of goals conceded my first thought was our early games this season, very apt.

Go back to basic's. Play players to their strengths by playing them in their proper positions . This means dropping Kelman and playing Agyei up front with O' Neil on the left wing and Graham on the right
