Should the data hold up all season it would be hard to argue against that point

8% is incredibly low
YesHis shot accuracy is higher though so that I assume means his efforts are saved more?
You can filter seasonOut of interest can you filter these by a range of games or just a season? Wondering if you can tease out whether a player is improving/declining/staying the same.
The save was. I’m not his biggest fan and glad Collins has a chance but that save at QPR was world class.“World class”
I suppose id rather be in the position that we are creating chances and missing as that's probably the easiest to expect a change in (if the strikers can somehow rediscover their finishing ability). Just a bit of a concern that they need to sort that out asap really.I guess it shows tactically we are pretty much on the ball ...you could also argue we're a good side being let down by poor finishing .
Either way we are where we are
You're still boring to watchDon't care. We are still boring as fuck to watch.

Can someone explain to me how a team can score 6 in 1 game but XG was 2.4

Looks like a load of Bollocks to me. Overall as an average, our xG for is 1.46 per game and our XG against is 1.25 per game. The difference is negligible really. We've score slightly less than what we are expected 1.19 goals per game, and conceding slightly more than we would expect 1.31 goals per game

It might seem like a small thing, but that makes a big difference overall. xG shows we should be scoring more than we're conceding, but actual G shows we are scoring less than we're conceding. In a game that changes a win to a loss.Looks like a load of Bollocks to me. Overall as an average, our xG for is 1.46 per game and our XG against is 1.25 per game.

But I can think of a fair few chances for each of the strikers that they've either hit wide or straight at the keeper. While we do often have a quite laborious build up play, the strikers are missing chancesI get that we’re expected to score a lot more according to those stats and I also realise our strikers haven’t been great so far but I disagree that we’ve created a lot. Maybe from a stats perspective we’ve “created chances” but I don’t think we really have “created chances”, all our attempts at goal are long-winded and lacking fluidity, they’re mostly easy to defend against and just from what I’ve seen most weeks require perfect passes to come off and the ball to land precisely at the feet of the strikers, something which we’re awful at doing.
Personally I don’t mind stats and it obviously seems stupid to argue against them but just from the eye test it doesn’t look like we should have been expected to score as many goals as that table suggests. I think of the chances we’ve had in recent weeks, there’s definitely been a couple of easy goals missed but most of our “chances” are awkward headers or long range shots or tight angle shots or efforts that get swamped by defenders. I can probably count on one hand how many goals we realistically should have scored in the last 3 or 4 games.
Our strikers have been poor, granted, but I don’t think the blame lies solely at their feet, they’ve been feeding off scrappy chances and I personally think we need to sort out a more coherent midfield first and then if our strikers are missing multiple golden opportunities we can blame them.
Oh yeah definitely, like I said there’s clearly been some opportunities our strikers have missed which should have been put away but I think quite a few of them have been tricky angles or the ball’s bobbled around or the defence has made it awkward to get a clear shot away. I think it’s probably fine margins but I don’t completely blame our strikers, I definitely blame them somewhat but imo a lot of the time they’re not being given the easiest route to goal from our midfielders.But I can think of a fair few chances for each of the strikers that they've either hit wide or straight at the keeper.
