Why are some midfielders sooooooooo shite at shooting?
With the way we play, even our DM(s) will get a chance or two every game to shoot from the edge of the area and yet we have some players who are technically excellent in almost every other way, but simply can't hit the ball with either force or accuracy towards the goal from just 20 yards.
We saw with Shaqiri how important it is - he got deflections but he was able to hit the ball low, hard and goalward each time and got his reward.
Gini is a brilliant player in many ways but he's a great example of this - why can't he shoot for shit? Isn't he practising? Is it a mental thing or is it because all his strength is in his buttocks?
