Stevo985 Posted April 14, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted April 14, 2022 My main takeaway is how insanely good Benteke was. Regarding Ollie he's higher than I would have guessed. 1 in 3 isn't spectacular but it's solid, especially for someone usually playing wide. However I'd be interested in seeing the recent trends on this sort of data 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In goal per 90 terms, their stats look like this(only looking at PL stats) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However I'd be interested in seeing the recent trends on this sort of data How many games this season did he play as one of the 10s? Add to that we've created very few chances in general this season in terms of the xG. Especially compared to when Grealish was fit last season. I think there are plenty of factors in our forwards not scoring as many goals. Even comparing to other 9s at other clubs too. Not many score a huge amount. Ings and Watkins defensive stats are outstanding tbf to both of them. They get through q huge amount of work without the ball. Ings is a goal scorer. I think too many players are under performing this season from Martinez forward Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was when Benteke was out long term, but any Belgium fan I spoke to rated Benteke higher than Lukaku at the time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
