The Dba football team is suffering from an inability to effectively convert the high volume of shots on goal into results during its current season. Since its return to the UAE Pro League, 'Al-Nawakhda' has found themselves in last place in the league standings, despite sharing fourth place with Al-Wasl for the most shots on target (35). In contrast, Al-Wahda leads the list with 43 shots, while Bani Yas is at the bottom with only 17. Official league statistics confirm that Dba possesses the elements capable of making a difference in terms of shooting accuracy, as evidenced by the nine goals the team has scored so far. These goals include five from the Iraqi international Mah Ali, who is currently the league's third-top scorer. Analyst Khaled Ubaid commented that Dba is paying the price for significant squad changes and that the current players need more time to achieve the necessary synergy and experience to convert their numerous shots into points. He suggested that the team's open playing style, especially against more established opponents, has negatively affected their results. Ubaid believes that addressing weaknesses, improving team cohesion, focusing on defensive solidity against stronger teams, and avoiding overly open play will allow Dba to leverage the quality of its players and turn their shooting volume into real goal-scoring opportunities. He expects the team to gain more maturity in upcoming matches as they learn to read opponents and secure victories against teams closer to them in the table.
