A lot of Leeds United fans are worried to see that out of the 17 goals the Whites have scored this season only one has come from outside of the box and nine have come from inside the six-yard box.
This suggests that Marcelo Bielsa’s men try and walk the ball into the net on too many occasions, and some Leeds fans want to see the Whites players try their luck from distance.
This is because teams often set up in a low block to nullify Leeds’ attacking play.
This has seen Leeds struggle to break teams down, and they have only scored more than one goal five times this season.
The Whites want to play football the right way, but they do not want to become a team criticised for trying to walk the ball into the net, and that is why some of their fans are encouraging the team to shoot from range.

Yes! We don’t score ugly goals really (unless Eddie is on the pitch)

Yes, there is a reluctance to shoot from distance. Norwich scored so many from ricochet last season either off defenders or bouncing to Pukki who stood on the six yard box and filled his boots

Yes the Arsenal of the championship

I’ve been saying for ages we don’t take enough shots from distance and when we do they’re blocked becasue everyone is behind the ball or they are sky rocketed

These Leeds supporters think their team tries to walk the ball into the net too often.
We don’t know how to shoot. ????????♀️

When we shoot from outside the area the ball ends up in row z

Definitely….our shooting is abysmal,

Some, however, think that the team just can’t shoot.
