Without going down an xG rabbit hole…
There are lots of posts on match day threads, player ratings, the Viera thread etc saying basically that we are not good enough in front of goal, if only we converted more chances, if only we had a better goal scorer etc etc. One yesterday said that we would never push on until we convert more chances.
But it isn’t really true…
We are the 8th highest scorers in the league.
We average just under 1.5 goals a game
And I put this on the match day thread yesterday..
We are 7th in the PL for shots to goals conversion ratio according to Transfermarkt. 9% converted, top are Leicester with 10.8%. Others ahead of us are..
Liverpool
Chelsea
Man City
WHU
Villa
The league average is 8%.
I’m really not sure what more we can do but some seem to think we should be banging in goal after goal after goal. Yet there we are above the majority of our peers in both goals scored and chances converted. Who’d believe it?
