Wingers shooting from tight angles instead of passing to the free striker

Hi,

Like I said in the title, my wingers are shooting from impossible angels while the strikers are all available inside box. I've added PKM's.

1) Game: Tottenham vs Norvich

Min 47:16 As you can see, the striker is free and onside but Lucas Moura takes a shot from that angle instead of passing. If this was in FM18, he'd definitely pass the ball.

2) Same game, min 34:24

As you can see 3 of my players are unmarked and the winger has a very tight angle. Instead of sending a hard low pass or a cross Lemar took a shot from that angle.

3) The same game, min 86:57

Look at the last defender, he is running to block Coman's path and he has nothing to do with Calvert Lewin. Instead of passing to Calvert Lewin, Coman dribbled the ball and took a shot although the defenders is coming to close him down. This also is a good example of how counter attacks suck. Since this is is a counter attack the player should be looking for a free player more than any other time.

4) Tottenham vs Chelsea

Min 54:40

As you can see, my striker is free in the area and he has much better angle than my winger. Also notice the defender running towards the winger. Lemar's choice was taking a shot from that angle. In FM18 I have seen loads of goals from these positions and all wingers were passing the ball to the free striker making a run.

5) Tottenham vs Chelsea

Min 60:57

Same game, again Lemar. It is almost the same position this time the striker has much more space ahead of him and Lemar is wider. Instead of rolling the ball to my striker Lemar decided to shoot from that angle.

6) Game: Tottenham vs Man City

Min 35:29

The striker is free and has much better angel than my winger. In this position Coman looks like he has a promising angle but the shot came later from a tighter angle. This is the moment where he should have passed.

7) I am adding this as a bonus because I don't have the PKM for it. It is hard to believe but my winger took a shot from that angle instead of passing.
