2024/25 Dominic Calvert-Lewin


It absolutely kills us.

And will do so again.

We routinely bottom 3 for chances created, and there's a direct correlation with goals scored.

Dictates relegation scrap.
Hopefully we can sort out things at the back if we concede just 1 goal then a draw becomes a good result.
 

I'm not sure how much stock you put in xG & chance creation stats but Brentford's numbers weren't too dissimilar to ours across the two seasons 22-24.

Everton's xG suggests we should've scored 109.4 goals across that period and we actually scored 74 goals.

Brentford xG suggests they should've scored 123.5 goals across that period and they actually scored 114.

The 74 goals we've scored across the last two seasons makes us comfortably the worst performing attack of any team to have participated in both of those seasons. Only Sheffield United scored fewer last season and only Wolves scored fewer in 22/23.

In any case, it suggest DCL has played in teams that create chances. In terms of xG we've created more than Fulham, Wolves & Palace across the last two seasons and created a similar number of chances to Brighton, West Ham and Man Utd last season. He should be doing better.

Sorry, but just no
