Goals from open play will come. The key is to score by any way possible regardless. To win games.
The key is who Moyes will be allowed to finally bring in, you know as replacements for Arteta, Pienaar, Yakubu, Beckford etc.
Its not simply a problem with the players. We struggled to score at the start of last season with those players in the squad (all be it not always playing).
Today was more goals from defenders and set pieces. Against a non league team.
Are the midfield and forward line we had today really that bad they can't score against a non league team?
Really?
Of course not. The problem then lies within the tactics, formations and style of play we utilise.
Better players will help but its not the only solution. If we played more creative, intelligent, different football in the final 3rd we may well see our goal return increase. And that can be achieved from better players and better tactics.
I believe there was a comment on the radio today along the lines of "qith the players Everton have their movement should be too much for Tamworth to compete with, and apart from that one good bit of play just now it hasn't been good enough".
Its like buying a Ford Escort ghia and then taking it up to 9000 rpm before changing out of gear. You've got a decent enough car, might not be a Porsche 911 but its more than capable if you drive it properly. Instead of crawling along at 26 mph in a 40 zone then slamming your brakes on at the last minute every time.
We need to use what we have better until we can improve on what we do have.
