Please elaborate. I would love to hear your thoughts on how to fix it
I've discussed them before on the soccer board. It is too hard to score so it makes way too many possessions meaningless.
To better understand what I mean, compare it to football. In football(american), when you have to punt, you are unable to score. However, the yards you gained(or failed to) on the drive were meaningful. The equivalent of soccer would be if in football anytime you were turned over on downs, the opposition started with the ball on your 20.
Now basketball has this same problem but they alleviate it by high scoring. Because they score such a high percentage, a large enough portion of the plays are meaningful.
A solution would be widening the goals by a small amount.

There are also many flaws that come from this ridiculous lack of scoring. One bad call ruins a game to an extent that no other sport can experience. A mis-called offside or penalty kick can result in what could easily be the only goal of a game.
The influence of a single ref's call on the game leads to flopping because it is so incredibly valuable to be awarded a free kick/red card.
Imagine a football game being decided because a ref called one pass interference that put a team in FG range. They kick a fg and win the game 3-0.

How about making the goalkeepers shorter? Or we could make them stand on their knees
