1. shots from the most inexplicable angles | players receiving the ball on the shoulder of the full back instead of taking them on will just shoot wildly. players receiving the ball in the box will shoot instantly without a second thought when there are open net passes available
2. players inability to finish 1v1 opportunities -- they will either not dribble towards the goal and shoot instantly again without a second thought, shoot/pass it right to the keeper or smash it off-target -- especially common when the keeper is out of goal leaving an empty net!
3. through balls do not come to the mind of players in many match situations they will often pass into space in the wide areas of the pitch instead of *through* and towards goal. some passes don't exist because players will not make runs beyond the defensive line from deep too.
4. players are too slow in making decisions to pass or dribble: dribbling as a skill is never used in the final third to attack the goal by dribbling across the goal mouth to create a better shooting chance because players will always opt to shoot as soon as they have the ball!
5.players will run into each other too frequently and lose the ball and also not clear the ball up the pitch when pinned by an opposition player like irl but they instead freeze and get tackled
6. when goal keepers can't follow distribution instructions they will boot it 100% to the opposition left back which leads to them attacking straight away leaving players up the pitch not reacting soon enough
