Striking Coach Required (1 Viewer)

[skyblueeyesrevisited]

Our finishing is now becoming comical. Also the none of the strikers seem to have great positional sense. No one makes the near post runs that predatory strikers live off.
If we are to stick with these excuses for strikers, then the priority signing must be a proper striker coach.

If only we had somebody who used to be a striker.

Like you say, nobody is making runs in behind to get to crosses first (see Bakayoko against Charlton).

Our manager was a striker for Manchester United who else can we get

Just watch the warm-up.

It's embarrassing the amount of shots that are screwed wide.

What are they doing all week in training?

I watched Chaplin today and correct me if I am wrong but I didn't see him score a goal in the pre match aim at the pigeons routine

Being an ex-Manchester United striker doesn’t mean you are good striker coach. From our performances clearly he isn’t.

I'd genuinely like to know this. Are they practicing shooting and do they actually convert chances in training?

Everybody except for Chaplin and Hiwula.

Shipley always looks excellent in the pre-match shooting practise. Nearly always hits it sweetly and into the net past the keeper.

He puts the others to shame.

I said this today at the game.
I know there is a difference in quality but ole gunnar solskjær since being at man Utd has been doing extra one on one sessions with Rashford and Martial and look how they have been since he has been doing that.

I know it's very football manager game like but other than fitness and goalkeeper coach who would be our designated attacking coach and designated defending coach.

Robins should be the attacking coach. He was a striker. The shooting in the warm-up on the whole is embarrassing.

I'm sure other managers have been out with the players before for warm-ups.

 

[Mcbean]

Problem with warm up and training they are not under pressure and can shoot - get on the pitch and it all goes tits up

Which make it worse,because they are missing in the warm-up when they ARE under no pressure.

At the moment the strikers next week I'd pick by Tombola - shove everyone not already playing in and first two out get to play up front. Why not Shipley playing up top - not like he can do any worse is it? Would totally flummox the opposition too!

 

[lord_garrincha]

You'd like to think that by playing Bremang and Baka up top on Sat, and shoving the recent dross to the bench/stands would give them the necessary kick up the arse.

But I don't think players at this level have enough personal pride in their performances (unlike their image) to be bothered by this.

I noticed that too, he seems to try and place his shots and not rip the leather off them as I alluded to yesterday

CCFC shooting tips : pass it, pass it, pass it, pass it back, pass it back, pass it sideways, pass it sideways, pass it sideways the other way, pass it back, pass it anywhere, pass it, oh bugger.

 

[Magwitch]

We need a proper number nine, a Dion Dublin type I’m certain a target man will help, on missing chances I look at that they especially Chaplin are there to miss them so they have escaped their markers and found space. Admittedly Chaplin has missed some real sitters so frustrating and could have doubled his tally but he still could end up with around 15 not brilliant, could of been more but a tally like 15+ isn’t too bad in his first full season which he didn’t start until October.

 

[Gazolba]

What I want to know is how can anyone who can't kick a ball straight call themselves a professional footballer.
And I'd even add, they should be able to do it with both feet!

Why do you keep referring to the warm up like it has a bearing/reference to the game? Can you have a look next time they are running during “the warm up” and see if it’s any better or worse during the game :emoji_rolling_eyes:

I'm sure other managers have been out with the players before for warm-ups.

Which ones? I tend to arrive just before the kick off for home games so I can’t comment. However I am usually there for the warm up at away games and I can’t recall seeing the opposing manager out with the players.

If you listen to the other players Chaplin is dynamite in training. Scoring for fun and best finisher in the squad

Daft analogy. Running is just warming up. Fitness pure and simple. Shooting practise is there to try and keep them sharp and improve their shooting and keep them confident they can deliver in the game. It is a specific, singular action designed to improve one singular skill, that of being able to put the ball in the net time and time again.

Are you trying to tell me that if Hiwula misses every shot in the warm-up he's going to feel confident about scoring in the actual game.

Anyone who has played football and is an attacker, practises their shooting before the game and it always makes you feel good when you keep hitting the back of the net. You go into the game more confident. I was a right winger/midfielder and always felt a lot more confident going into a game if I had been banging them in, in the warm-up. You hit them sweetly in the practise you feel more confident. You miss them all you are not going to be so confident.

It's rare. Not saying I have seen it recently, but have seen it in the past few years.

I watched Arsenal on Friday night and they were the same,lots of passing, no penetration. And no, I'm not comparing CCFC players with Arsenal players in a quality sense, just a lack of ...... well I dont know , confidence, afraid to make a mistake, clueless........

Oggy in charge of shooting practice is laughable. Why isn't Robins sorting out our woeful strikers?!
