Messi, the greatest player in the world.

if we're going to play this game... (taking goals / shots stats from the bbc website)
we have scored 69 goals in all comps from 480 shots - conversion rate of 14.38%
10 games have yielded 63.76% of all our goals (44 out of the 69)
in the other 15 games our conversion rate has been 8.59% (25 goals from 291 shots)
i rest my case.....

Lies , Damn Lies and Statistics.
How many shots were blocked, miskicked , saved , shot at the goalie, well saved by the goalie, brilliantly saved by the goalie , or a n other player. Without this Qualitative information, the Quantative has no context .
Basically WGAF ? did we win draw or lose ?

I have to agree with Nige on this.
We fail to see the obvious in our face because, we still score a shit load of goals, but we are a team that is having problems converting. We had it under Pellers and we continue it with Pep. If you win 3-1, but should had won 10-1 more than a couple of times, then yeah, you have a problem.
I mean, let's face it, that miss with Hoffee, 3 vs the keeper, that was something disgusting to see. Took away all the joy of winning the game, because it showed how much more we have to work on our concentration.

Are you a statistician? You sound as fucking boring as one! From YOUR OWN stats we're scoring at 2.76 goals a game over the 25 games you mention. Who else in the EPL is scoring at that rate? As for the 44 goals in 10 games versus the 25 in 15, isn't it just logic that we'd score more against weaker teams (those without the better players) than we'd score against the stronger teams? Not sure what point you're trying to make really..............
