glory.win or die. 270 Posted August 16, 2021 To be fair to Rupp, its nice that at least 1 midfielder is brave enough to have a go, most just shift it out wide for a pointless cross to Pukki v 5 defenders. I don't know if it's a thing but I would have shooting from outside the box in training everyweek Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheGunnShow 5,940 Posted August 16, 2021 Considering we often are prone to trying to walk it in, someone who's willing to wind one up and crack one is nice to have. Besides, they could easily result in corners, deflections, etc. Always remember, 100% of shots never taken are missed. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mr Angry 1,561 Posted August 16, 2021 I don't know what the fulltime stats were as I didn't stick around to find out, but at halftime according to Sky we had only had 3 touches inside the opposition penalty area. If we aren't getting enough touches inside the box then we need someone who can shoot from long range-maybe it's not Rupp though-PLM has already shown that he has a decent shot, perhaps he should be the one instructed to shoot from long range. Maybe he was, but he never got the chance. Despite this though, the correct answer to the question is: This thread. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hoolahoop14 124 Posted August 16, 2021 (edited) Only a joke folks, I fully support our players shooting from outside box of course, but I feel the same way when I see Rupp lining up to shoot as I did when Tettey used to. Hopefully that means there’s a 30 yard first time volley Rupp thunderbolt coming up at some point this season..

Hopefully that means there’s a 30 yard First time volley Rupp thunderbolt coming up at some point this season. If it’s any consolation, I seem to remember Bradley Johnson having a similar poor reputation regarding shooting from range, apart from a shock winner for his previous club Leeds against Arsenal in the cup. But then he found his shooting boots for us one promotion season and all was forgotten. Bet Rupp scores against Man City now ; ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PLM, however, clearly does have that in his locker, so I expect him to trouble a few goalkeepers from distance this season! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I actually quite like Rupp, the bloke just just can’t hit a barn door. Hopefully he’ll prove me wrong in spectacular fashion at some point this season and score a couple of belters.
