FairWooney Posted September 13, 2017 Report Share Posted September 13, 2017 the whoscored website shows both Rooney and DCL to have had 7 shots each. DCL had 3 off target, 2 blocked and 2 on target. Rooney had 3 off target, 3 on target and 1 blocked. In the league so far we've had 35 shots, 18 off target, 7 on target and 10 blocked. 10 of those shots were from set pieces The only people to hit the target apart from those 2 are Klassen and Gueye. Obviously we've had tough games but these stats show we've done very little to trouble any goal keeper thus far. We have a good run of games after this weekend and we'd sure as hell better see these figures increase, along with the goals scored of course!

PS - I see Mike already asked that question! Yeah I know. Not sure if they've averaged it out or some other form of stat magic. Like a striker getting 25 goals in a 38 game season would be 0.65___ goals a game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other is taking one fact, throwing an average at it and coming up with an impossibility . StevO and nyblue23 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nyblue23 Posted September 13, 2017 Report Share Posted September 13, 2017 22 hours ago, Cornish Steve said: I'd make a small number of changes, bringing in more youth and placing more emphasis up front. Pickford Kenny Keane Holgate Baines Davies Schniederlin Sigurdsson Vlasic DC-L Sandro Then again, I've always been a bit of a risk-taker and someone who'd prefer to go for broke. I don't hate it on paper, but that team is far too young. Baines and Siggy the only ones above 27 (and Siggy by only a week) with a 27-year old, a 24-year old, a 23-year old, a 21-year old, three 20-year olds and two 19-year olds. Doubt any premier league team has ever won a match with 6 players at 21 or under. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FairWooney Posted September 15, 2017 Report Share Posted September 15, 2017 pickford Holgate Keane Jagielka Baines Gana Sigurdsson Lookman / Vlasic Rooney/Klassen DCL Sandro Just an idea here. Though in truth when I watch DCL, as much as I like his work rate and the way he puts himself about His passing at times having held the ball up is very poor and he very rarely seems to look threatening in the box. For me we shouldn't be relying on him as a starter. But I suppose that's mainly down to some poor transfer activity! Not sure i'd bring this out against Man utd but home to Bournemouth maybe. It's a bit lopsided but Baines would have more freedom than Holgate to push forward, sig would play as a box to box midfielder. While he is talked about as a 10 he typically coveres a lot of ground and can get involved up and down the pitch so for me in our squad he would fit best into a central mid position. I want to see more of Lookman along with Vlasic to provide pace and directness in attack that we are lacking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
