Scoring from outside the box

[colonel_muck]

Gerrard, Milner, Huddlestone. We've not had a midfielder who hits it from outside the box since Barton. Obviously Bellamy scored a cracker in the derby but i remember on saturday when Milner got the ball it was a bit panicky as you don't know weather to close down an impending screamer or sit back and stop him picking out a through ball. I think it's vital for us to have this type of player as it makes your opponent think. I suppose really I'm looking for a 'traditional' midfielder. I don't think any of the above would come in the summer, with Liverpool probably going to make a sale to new owners giving Stevie G hope for another season, although I would love James Milner. Anyone got any suggestions? I also think it's no coincidence that these players I have mentioned are all English...

Barton's shooting was pretty awfull though.

[colonel_muck]

yes but he did score some crackers. most players that try it get it wrong for more than get it right. gerrard and lampard included.

To be fair, I do remember a few good goals.

I also remember a fair amount of bad shots as well though.

I always make sure to score in the box. The back door has never really appealed to me.

I'm a giver not a taker. Or is it the other way around?

Yeah, whatever happened to that guy, thought I saw him right before our third, but when I double checked it was the SWP we bought from Chelsea.

this.. AJ has a pop now and again, Tevez is always looking for even a half chance to but has so many options at his own disposal he can change his mind at will.. thats why he is so dangerous, Bellers can and does occasionally.

I would go for old Johnno though as a classic example of what the OP is saying. Tevez tries shots from about 20 yds out whereas Johnno does em from 30yds.. an i suppose thats what we are talking about here

[Slim]

Well, there is always a young brazilian lad playing for Juve at the moment who fancies the odd pop from 25 yards, can't remember his name though.

[Vhero]

Zab keeps trying and skying them over the bar... and it pisses me off everytime he does it..

[Alioune DVToure]

I honestly couldn't care less if we never score another 25-yarder ever again, so long as the goals keep going in from somewhere. Why are you so arsed?
