Just over 60% of our shots have been from outside the box, joint most in the league with 38 Maddison with most of our shots (16 - just over 25%) however I imagine this would include shots from free kicks, surprised how many Tielemans has had Edited 19 September 2019 by moore_94 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burnley have had 14 (58%) more than us in the first 5 games ffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foxes_rule1978 Posted 19 September 2019 Share Posted 19 September 2019 Those statistics is why we struggle to put it away, you can’t rely on long shots... it is about how many you are getting in the penalty area, six yard box, it looks like we are low on both at the moment.

I agree with all of those things but do you not think it's crazy and a bit of a dangerous precedent if clubs are paying 18 year olds £120k? I understand it's market forces and Bayern's interest forced their hand but £120k? Chelsea pay big wages but do they have to pay him as much as that? I'm fairly confident that Bayern wouldn't have been paying him that. I just think that's an obscene amount. We do pay those wages by the way, but to proven talents like Vardy and Kasper - rightly so IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t disagree with much of that but it’s a market and with yanited paying Rashford double that plus Man City no doubt paying some of their youngsters a small fortune then the best young players are in a great position ...... i assume our most talented youngsters will let us know if they want to stay till their mid twenties - if they don’t then no point in paying them too much in the meantime. If they do then we will have to pay the going rate in respect of their ability or they will look elsewhere .... i’m getting the feeling that we intend selling for the right price and replacing with cheaper options ... of course we have to get the quality of the replacements right or we become worse off as a team (though better off as a club) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many of Youri's surprisingly high number of shots were on target? 10 hours ago, st albans fox said: Three things 1) he plays for Chelsea who pay big wages 2) he was in demand from other clubs 3) he is actually good if we could pay those kind of wages we might hold onto players like madders .........not sure thats our strategy though ....... We don't pay those kind of wages but we pay wages so high that when players aren't good enough we have to keep them for their four year contract because no-one else can/ will pay them. Slimani for example. Personally I think we pay enough and probably, too much in wages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicolo Barella Posted 20 September 2019 Share Posted 20 September 2019 Hey, just stumbled on some stats. Apparently, we've conceded the joint least goals in the PL, we've conceded the second least amount of goal attempts, and our xG conceded is second best so far (I know most of you hate xG but it is a valid measurement). I guess that's something, considering we haven't exactly had easy fixtures so far. Obviously we need to improve our attacking but I think that is impressive. Hopefully when we improve our attack we don't totally lose our defensive solidity. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
