Chelsea’s finishing has been spectacularly bad. Since mid-March, they are the only team in the Premier League not to score – despite having had the most shots.

last Prem game before this was Chelsea villa too which inexplicably we won

I wonder if there’s a stat that states the quality of shot. Would that be xG?
Either way, this is insane…

We didn’t create a single big chance against United even though there were 21+ shots. You need to be lucky if you wanna score with these low xG opportunities.

You can’t purely look at number of shots. We had 21 shots vs United (basically a third of our total here) without a single one being a big chance

Mindless shooting for the sake of shooting. Artificially inflating the xG stat. Remember the owners telling that despite our poor finishing, we had good xg, this was under Poch.

The reason we have the most shots is because everyone lets us and players are spamming shots as well. Plus others just score and sit back since we have no plan B ( or even Plan A for that matter)

Delap, Garnacho and Gittens only have 2 league goals in 2500 minutes between them. Awful!

Poor recruitment + poor profile composition + players underperforming – we chose to recruit Liam Delap off of a single prem season and sent off an inconsistent but Prem proven striker in Jackson – we have horrendous goal distribution from our attacking players – Garnacho was never a goal scorer, neither is Pedro Neto, Palmer has been having a stinker for the past year and a half now. Club recruited Joao Pedro, which in itself was a risk since historically he has never been an out-and-out goal scorer. Joao was a risk that paid off, but apart from him, we have a stark lack of players who can habitually find the back of the net. Feels like Palmer has been able to coast with little to no accountability as well – he has been awful save a few games here and there – I am sure the club were hoping he could be back to his best this season, but it’s just poor planning altogether.

If you look at the conversion rates here, 1st Forest 2nd West Ham 3rd Everton 4th Brighton 5th Aston Villa. Both Forest and Villa scored 4 yesterday, 50% of their goals, which skews it a little bit in terms of consistency.
For reference of the other “big 6”: United are 6th, City 8th, Liverpool 10th, Arsenal 15th, Spurs joint 16th and us dead last.

Do you remember when goal of the month was literally the ONLY goal of the month. Don’t know whether to laugh or cry at that. Not again surely.

We’re set up poorly, which leads to us taking a lot of shots. But very few that are actually threatening. It’s exactly what the opposition wants from us, taking pops from range, or swinging random crosses into the box. It’s very unlikely to result in a clear cut chance.
Under top managers you often see less shots, but they’re worked into positions of much better quality. Which equals more goals. Us having the most shots, and the least goals, is just indicative of poor management. We basically rely on a player doing something special on their own.

I can’t believe Rosenior has done this
