Son and Kane lead % of goals scored above 'expected goals' in Europe since 2016

[To Dare Is To Do.]

This statistics compares actual number of goals scored and compares it to the 'expected goals' a player had. Expected goals is based on the difficulty of a goalscoring opportunity. A sitter is close to 1 xG, while a long range chance may be 0.1 xG.

1. This shows how clinical Son is, as he's miles out in front. Also shows how special Kane is by scoring 100+ goals and being above Messi. Looks 'world class' to me sammyspurs

2. Also a bit worrying that we seem to be relying on Son and Kane to convert chances that aren't necessarily clear cut. This is from 2016 to early 2021 so something for both Poch and Jose to reflect on, in terms of creativity of our midfield.

3. Expected goals aren't a perfect measure, so like all stats take it with a pinch of salt.

That's really weird. I don't understand all those numbers and decimal points, so it must be a clever ploy for you to trick us you Kane/Son fanboy!

I keep hearing how Kane wastes loads of chances and needs perfect service and Son is terrible and needs dropped for Lamela. The people that say this also say they are very smart and are always right, so I believe them!

Kane/Son out!!

If this is true, then it’s incredible. The mind wonders though. Imagine if they had a silky play maker behind then in the same realm as KDB; how many goals would they score then! Ndombele, you’re up

Proper pumped about this statistic , it's made my day, I'm desperate to know who led the way pre 2016.

You sound a bit bitter about it for a 'Spurs fan'...

Does it mention the bit where Kane took 4 million shots to get there?

I don't think Kane is wasteful.
He is also adept at creating space for himself so he can have a shot, in situations where other strikers would just run into a dead end.

Also Sammy the whole point of this stat is that it's comparing goals as a percentage to 'expected goals'- which would take into account not only the number of shots he has had, but also where he is taking them from.

So your criticism here really couldn't be further off the mark.

Why's the fucker back so soon? I was hoping he'd get a six month stint.

He's a troll. The only point of his existence is to troll Harry Kane. Get the fucker back in the bin by foul voting him.

He's done nothing worthy of a foul vote. Just has an opinion which doesn't seem to be aligned with reality. Foul votes should be reserved for racial abuse etc.

See if you say when he's said the same thing a thousand times on a hundred different threads.

Case took me off and I didn’t even get a yellow card probation.

He must have read my posts and decided freedom of opinion about Kane isn’t ban worthy.
Guess you have to suck on that for a bit.

Where is he taking them from then?
The one that hit the post yesterday was about 5yrds out

What’s this new lie? He’s only trying 30 yarders now?

Because the owner of the site prefers my input to yours

Well that's one anecdote, weak evidence.

What this stat does is take into account all his goals from 2016, and all his shots, while also taking into account shot difficulty & distance.
And it shows that overall, Kane has second best conversion rate compared to the other top 20 goalscorers in Europe.

The debate is about Kane, you should leave

You're forum gonnoreah. And you're not a Spurs fan anymore. You're a professional troll. You don't come here to express opinions, you pick a topic you know will rile people up and you post the same shit all day every day. You only manage to survive on here at all because half the users have you on ignore.

Not wasteful?
He has taken 109 shots and missed the target 67 times
He’s scored 5.7% of his shots

If he’s missing because of where he takes them from, then surely his judgement should be questioned

This debate is about Kane, you should go to off topic to be honest
