It’s all those twats in the NW corner that think McAllister has a shot on at the South end but he’s still 40 yards out
Doesn't actually say that though, does it?
Clickbait headline.
Article says: "The build-up suggests we’re getting there. Of course, the longer you go, you can hear the crowd, ‘shoot, shoot, shoot’, you know, and that sometimes is a challenge for the players."

CUM ON FEEL THE NOIZE
Everyone around me was shouting "Don't shoot" whenever certain players had the ball.
I can't believe a Premier league player would be influenced by people shouting from the crowd, don't they practice these things during the week?

Maybe we should shout "score ", as shooting is not a problem for us.

We need a few hundred fans holding those large colorful made to British fire standard arrows behind the goal.
Maybe the headline of this thread should be changed as he didnt say that?
Generally speaking I dont think they practice in front of 30k people no

It makes you wonder whether the OP has an ulterior motive!!!

Well I kept hollering at them not to shoot, so he clearly couldn't hear me from the other side of the pitch. Potter OUT.
“Because sometimes there’s an opportunity to shoot - sometimes it’s a chance for the block and then the transition. And sometimes maybe one more pass gets you in a better position but, if you miss the pass, you should have shot.
Is that really his attacking philosophy? Don't shoot because it might get blocked and there might be a better chance if you pass it one more time.
Ok, so Maupay has the ball on the edghe of the box, but he's under instruction not to shoot because another pass might be a better position, so he plays it on to Trossard. But he's not allowed to shoot because one mor pass might make better position. So he plays it off to Welbeck. Well his pass goes to Cucurella. To March. To Cucurella. To Welbeck, to trossard. To March. Each person passing it on because there might be a better chance if they make one more pass.
Suddenly our inability to score makes sense.

In fairness, the headline of the thread is a the headline of the article linked in the OP.

I think most managers, Potter included, would expect players to use common sense. Sadly often ours don't

I don't know about 'shoot', but at the moment I'd like to get shot of our strikers.

Or ‘shoot on target’. We’re not being specific enough.

No one shouted shoot on the pen! And we missed that!!!
No, but they play in front of them at least 38 plus times a year. Must be used to it by now.........
