El Ghazi needs to come off - he's shooting from anywhere.
Only if the keeper is the target.  Talking of Targett, just doen a Mings and lost the ball fannying about to create a breakaway.

But he’s hitting the target?!?

We are poor when dominating games - just not enough nous for me. We look far better when in a 50/50 game on the counter.

How can you be poor if you are dominating?

We're so sloppy with making choices in the final third. And Targett and Traore being so left-footed has lost us possession a few times now.

Ollie is working really hard. He's doing well winning more than his share of long balls, pulling defenders wide too.

Just needs a clear chance.

That's our problem lately, playing great stuff up to the box then making the wrong decision over and over again

Which means sod all if he's shooting from 30 yards away and it's catching practice for Johnstone.

Johnstone has spilt 1-2 already, I think it's worth testing him.

I also think someone has told the team that he's weaker on his right because we've had a lot of shots at the near post on that side.

The Scottish Cafu is doing the sky coverage and says we aren’t using the ball well enough.

Against 10 men and a team this poor it doesn’t take a lot to dominate. This is the 2nd game on a trot we have completely dominated the game but looked anemic in front of goal.

Goals win games.

Don’t like this nonchalant strolling about much.
