Dont know why anyone talks up or wants to recall a player that made himself unavailable for away games, he is only then available for half a season.

Remind me how many goals we have scored this season, remind me how many chances we have created this season. Are you saying there is no link between the number of goals scored and the number of chances created ?
Think very carefully about your answer ....
Off course the more chances you create the better chance you have of scoring but chances alone means nothing.
It doesn't win you anything .... look at last season then look at final EPL positions
Man City 108 big chances created versus Liverpool's 88 - but Liverpool walked away with the title
Spurs 48 big chances created 6th place, Brighton 48 big chances created 15th place
Crystal Palace least big chances created with 33 finished 14th, whilst Watford who created 45 still got relegated
Creating chances is one thing but scoring them is what counts -
This season Spurs shots per game 12.8 - goals 21
Arsenal shots per game 9.1 - goals 9
If you don't convert your chances you will end up mid-table or worse ... just ask Watford.
theHotHead wrote:EK at least you admitted the very clear and obvious connection between creating chances and scoring goals.
To address your main point about putting the chances away, your Spurs comparisons make another point - the quality of the strikers plays a big part. Spurs' strikers are miles better than Brighton's strikers.
What you are doing is inferring that it is LESS important to create the chances and MORE important to score them. No its not, the 2 are linked and will always be. Create more chances you score more goals, providing you have decent strikers. The 2 are as important as each other
How many times do we see promoted teams creating chances but their strikers are not that good and so squander far too many of them?!!
