[Albion] Table of dominance

[Kalimantan Gull]

Southampton .... +13 points ... because they can finish.

We could be right up there, with more ruthlessness in both boxes

It explains why the striker is the holy grail for us

It's not the finishing, we usually score when dominant, it's holding on to those leads

I'd say, the fact that we didn't go on to score a second and third goal when we've been miles on top is what is putting our defence under pressure

Better to be on top imo

That is screaming out for Hiney art

 

[Uh_huh_him]

MAnure, Tottingham and Toffees show its bollocks in the grand scheme of things.
score more goals than you concede, win games, earn points, that is all that matters.

But also two of those three are much higher in the league than most observers would expect.

The fact they are scoring a higher percentage of chances is a factor.
The other glaring factor, is having the personnel to ensure that you are capable of exceeding Xg.

Ultimately pretty meaningless but it does show where we would be if we could convert possession to goals.

But we cant, so we aren't.

Our retreat had often been fairly instant. But yes, getting better at scoring a second on the break would definitely help. Can't recall many goals on the break this season. Welbeck against Villa is one, but it's not something we've done well.

This is just another piece of strong evidence that we MUST plug the striker gap in our squad. We seem to be in denial as a club, and this is also true for the allegedly ‘insightful’ posters on here.

"Table of dominance" is a cracking name for a band

Not a patch on this

Hang on. Are you suggesting we need a new striker?

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

It is very simple. With 3 points for a win and only 1 for a draw, the league table is disproportionately affected by wins. Whether you favour conceding fewer or scoring morer than the opposition, winning is it, losing isn't.

There is no charge for this insight.

At least we’re now conceding fewer than our xG against since Sanchez has been in goal.

But the elephant remains in the room

On the bright side maybe we can win the xG league this season [emoji123]
