Watched that 19 goals from open play 6 being in the league Cup which is 13 goals in the league from open play. Most of our goals are from set pieces and I think we had 2 goals where it was a midfielder who created or made the assist so our tactic really was to play for set pieces and cross the ball in from wide. 

 

I wonder how other sides do in stats like goals from open play ours is funny as most of our goals from open play came against utd and Aberdeen and Rangers. But on the whole our creative output has been poor and reinforces the need for a midfield

I agree. But to be fair its hard to create goals from open play when we have so little of the ball.

I get that shape out of possession is important, and not many teams play through us, but that cant be at the expense of playing football when we get the ball. We simply just have to keep possession of it for longer and create a foundation to play from.

Also it means the type of goal we lose is pretty similar. Id love to see the stats for how many we concede from wide areas and set pieces. Id wager its pretty high.
