2021/22 Richarlison

The American delegation would like to trade Big Oil for a player to be announced later.

Better finishers need fewer chances to score. Because they are more precise. Regardless of variables.

I'd rather have the worse finisher who shoots more in good areas

No you wouldn't.

 

[TheBigIguana]

No you wouldn't.

Yes I would. Finishing is volatile, getting shots off in good areas is a repeatable skill.

Nah.

Believe me, we've had plenty of players who "get shots off". Makes no difference if only 1 in 20 go in.

In fact, it can have a severe detrimental effect on the team as a whole.

Good areas is an extremely important part of the equation

We've literally watched poor finishers waste gilt-edged chances with poor finishes that have cost us games.

You seem more concerned in winning this silly argument than you are about us winning games.

No mate. I think chasing finishers alone is how you find inconsistency. I'd prefer we found players who consistently shoot from good areas that way we have a more consistent source of goals to help us win.

I mean ideal world we'd find someone who gave us both but that's hard. But as I said for me everything leading up to the shot is more important than where the shot goes for recruitment.

Goals give a more consistent source of goals
Good finishers give consistency
Son is a perfect example... high conversion rate, consistently scores

Son is the only example of someone whose success is down to conversion rate year after year. I'm open to others if you have them.

Scoring is about volume of shots. Accuracy is secondary.

Have you ever heard the phrase "Feed the Yak and he will score".

For every Son there are 10 Werners who shoot loads but score far less. Obviously a combo of both is ideal but based on the fact we don't create as much as a team like Chelsea I'd take a Son type over a Werner type any day of the week
A Clinical striker is rare. High volume strikers are not and are more team dependent also
Vardy is another example

Yak has the most embarrassing miss I've ever seen too

And was that random or poor technique?
