Yes, you should practice more on funneling.
I haven't noticed this problem personally but I believe this is because I understand the mechanics of the game and therefore always funnel properly on ground attacks.
You may not do this quite so well and are now experiencing/noticing this new post-update phenomena.
So I can't really have this "discussion" with you other than to recommend brushing up on your attacking skills just slightly, this will get rid of this obvious problem you are encountering.
Also, don't resort to becoming an aggy ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ just because nobody is agreeing with you or just trying to help.
Yes the ground troop AI changed substantially and yes better funneling can make a difference getting in to the 1st layer. But it is very difficult to get them to follow your tanking units deep inside a base. Many times they will walk great distances around walls while inside the base when taking out a wall would be significantly faster. And many times after being inside they will leave the tanks and walk right on back outside.
I think they went way to extreme on the AI with wall aversion and hope they will make some tweeks in future update.
Cheers.

EPIC JUST EPIC..Reply of the day, the rest I'm typing through tears..
OP when the AQ was changed a lot of ground troops changed.Better funneling is vital now.Yes troops will go to a building rather than through a wall.
I've started using EQ spell x3 (yes I'm loosing another spell but I'm gaining troops as I only need a couple of WB,S to finish the wall/S off)
So I have to agree with most that WE have to adapt and change our gameplay(which for me is more enjoyable as learning something new is better than grinding the same old same old)
I'm TH8 and am seeing more TH,S inside ,which tells me other players are adapting THIER defenses in accordance... I'm no genius in the game but I am strategically minded, so this new troop AI is kind of a breath of fresh air
Can't comment on AQ for obvious reasons
You are probably deploying your troops too early/late
I've had zero problems with troops not going where I want them since the patch. The aq has been soooo much better also.
If your troops aren't going in, you are funneling wrong, plain and simple. It's impossible for them to go anywhere else, if there aren't closer side buildings or a better path to a building. Funneling means getting rid of side buildings, not the ones in front of where you are going. People clear the path to where they want to go and wonder why the troops go elsewhere.
Supercell (on update notes): we change troops AI to not target walls too much now. Enjoy! :)
SachaSmash : OMGLKNA!!! It didn't work anymore something must be broken!!!
Everyone else: they change AI, do something like this for now
SachaSmash : OMGLAWEJFAWO!!!! Are you guys can't read?? I'm trying to discuss why something that works for over the year doesn't work anymore!!
Everyone else : As we say, it doesn't work like this now since they changed it.
SachaSmash : OMGWAJFOWAJELFW!! I thought we can discuss about the change, but fjawijfawjfawj
:facepalm:
I haven't encountered this issue. I have a nearly max th8 and s nearly max th9. Neither accounts have had this issue. My primary war attack on the th8 is a gowipe and I just 3 starred another th8 again. My troops went into the middle with no issues. On the th9 I only got 1 star but it was more my issue than the game.
