Keep the ball down!! 16:27 - Apr 6 with 4628 viewsJules4367

Why why why do we keep blasting it over ?
Why cannot they have a split second thought ‘keep this down!’?

Whilst I have your attention- why do we allow goals immediately after half time??

Why don’t they do something about this ?

Leading the league with goals given up after 40 minutes and within 10 minutes of second half starting If I remember a post from earlier this year .
Incredibly frustrating today Ronnie mentioned they had planned to keep it tight for the first few minutes knowing Preston would launch attacks and in she went to our net .
Thankfully the ever reliable (for us anyway ) OG bailed us out

Prestons pitch looked pretty bad to me as was mentioned i think by JS the ball often didnt run true at times apart fron their goal of course!

We blast it over at home too!
But then when you want one of them to actually lift it (Bennie home and away) he tends to keep it low!!
There are lots of reasons but I just wish they could think in that split second rather than seeming to panic!
That said they are far far better than I could ever think of being - so I’ll forgive them

I watched the Bayern Real Madrid match last night.
Vinicius junior circa €600,000 pw. From 30 yards out, leans back, shot screams over the bar.
Killian Mbappe circa €600,000 pw.
Mighty shot from about 20 yards out, whoosh over the bar.
Luis Diaz €300,000 pw, plus some loose change. 15 goals in 26 games for Bayern. Cuts in from the left to get the ball on his right foot, a quick swipe and kaboom the ball sails majestically over the bar.
I think Harvey is only playing like an elite world class player.

Ya, but if we shoot low at home we harm the grass.

This goes along with passing behind a player going forward.

Happens way to often - play the ball in front of the man so he can take it in his stride FFS. You pass it behind and you lose a few precious seconds while he has to collect and turn around to go forward (or pass back again!).

You're all making it sound so f...ing simple.

If it was that easy all footballers would be perfect all the time and we would end up with a game for robots.

Well I imagine if you are paid any where over 2-300,000 per week you are thought of as perfect or at least pretty damn near. Hence Harvey Vale and others on less than 20k per week should be given a bye. The others not.

It looks easy to keep the ball low without blasting it 'well high' but in the pressure of the situation it isn't as easy as many think.....however we should be doing a lot better, they are full time professionals playing in one of the best leagues in the world.

I'm more concerned about the goals that we concede so early after half time TBH, that is what we should be addressing!!!!

When you look at the picture of Kolli shooting just a few games back, that is the technique.

He seems to be a natural with his hair over the ball.

Those possessed by devils, try and keep them under control a bit, can't you ?

This doesn't just happen at Rangers, it happens at every single club. You'll see players blasting the ball over the bar at some point in pretty much every game you watch. Why players can't control it - why, indeed, they don't practice hitting balls that come to them just outside the box - is a mystery to me, because it happens so often.

I remember being coached from a very young age to keep your ‘c’ shape (head and chest over the ball) when striking it, to keep it down. Are they taught that anymore?
