The ‘What The Premier League Table Would Look Like If All Shots That Hit The Post Had Gone In’ Table Is Quite Interesting



Taken from whoateallthepies

updated for tuesday's result, we're above the bin dippers.... on goal difference.

Arsenal really like to hit the woodwork!

Does this mean us and rags have best strikers because they don 't miss the target all the time?

Blimmy, West Ham must have hit it loads!

who is sitting there doing this stuff?

Either that, or we've been lucky that the opposition teams' shots have hit the woodwork a lot...

You can only come to the conclusion that arsenal players are trying to be that precise with their shots placed onto the corner that they pay for it big time. Imagine if they had someone who just put their foot through the ball once in a while

next thing we'll be counting shots gone an inch wide then two then three...

where's the difference, a missed shot remains a missed shot, may it hit the post or end up in the stands.

Does this take into account the rebounds that are put away?

Pretty much nonsense really. How about what the table would look like if City hadn't lost any games?

I would agree with you but take alook at these three occasions:

now, two times out of three it was Ibrahimovic involved so one could say he was trying too hard to put it into the low corner and missed hitting the post, which is a fair analysis, but still, for the ball to hit one post, then the other and then go out of the goal it's pretty unlucky.

Would that be counted in this table as two goals?
