I think xG also misses passages of play that don’t get counted as a shot. So your dangerous ball whipped in from the wing that nobody gets onto… no effect on xG because it’s not “a shot”. I’m putting Suarez as better at getting on the end of those than Ings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MWARLEY2 Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 We have been missing a dickhead since Jack left. He is overly emotional, got a chip on both shoulders and will do absolutely anything to win. And that is what we need more of sadly. Bouba can do the calm. Suarez the crazy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still got it ( albeit in smaller doses ) Nobody said he cant still finish but looking at the goals again I think only 2 of them he gets at Villa, some of the defending is amateur.

Still got it ( albeit in smaller doses ) His first touch, composure to control the ball and leave the defender for dead there in three of the goals is still first-class! Still quality in and around the box, for a year maybe two Suarez would be a top addition. His mentoring of the younger players would be also highly valuable.

How often have people moaned about the first touch of our strikers and composure around the box? Also a fair few of those goals were headers, something our strikers seem to struggle with.

The first header is park level goalkeeping/defending. I think was Getafe First touch was good but he always had at least 3 yards of space. Ings and Watkins rarely get so much time unless vs Norwich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of those goals the defender was touch tight and he ghosted past him to finish, it was top-quality! Our players often do not show the same touch around the box and are often vilified for it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what frustrates me, Watkins 1st touch is poor, proper trampoline feet, up there with Lukaku for abysmal control. Ings and Watkins needs too many chances before they score, need someone with an eye for goal, especially if you only get 3-4 shots in all game and your 2 main strikers need 5 shots before they hit the target! On a free i say bring him in! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
