"It's not to do with attitude or concentration, but about scoring more goals"

FC Barcelona coach Ronald Koeman admitted he's worried about his team's efficiency in front of goal after Saturday's 1-1 draw at Alaves. 

Antoine Griezmann's second-half strike earned a point for Barça, who made it four games without a win in La Liga and two points from 12. 

Koeman's side spurned a string of second-half chances against Alaves, who ended the game with 10 men, with goalkeeper Fernando Pacheco in inspired form. 

"I wasn't happy with the first half, we had a few bookings. I made three changes because I wasn't happy," Koeman said. 

"It's not to do with attitude or concentration, but about scoring more goals. It was the problem against Juventus as well. We gifted the first goal to Alaves. We can't accept missing so many chances. 

"I don't know if it's justice or not... It's always tough, but in the second half we had a better rhythm, the same as against Juve, but we need to score more goals. It's not about character, but performances. It's not enough. If you create so many chances and only score once, it's not good."
