cidered abroad Posted August 30, 2015 Report Share Posted August 30, 2015 We must convert a bigger percentage of our shots on target. It is a simple as that. Without delving into stats for this season, I remember that Brentford scored 4 with only 4 on target and did Burnley have any more in addition to the two they scored? Also think Leeds only had three or four and one of them was a pen. We have to up our game in front of goal or face the consequences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roe Posted August 30, 2015 Report Share Posted August 30, 2015 Meh. If we'd have kept 5 clean sheets, we'd have 13 points and be top of the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cityexile Posted August 30, 2015 Report Share Posted August 30, 2015 Trying to be positive just doesn't work on this forum does itProblem is, SOT is such a poor surrogate for real chances - a blast from distance that is easily saved counts, whereas putting wide an easy chance does not. However, using it as it is, we have as you say had 6 goals from 31 shots on target - let us say one in five. The teams we have played have scored 10 from 19 SoT, on a quick count up. Let us say one in two. Just shows how clinical sides are at this level and goes sone way to explaining why we think we are outplaying teams for large periods - but losing. It is quite a difference.

With a small sample size of matches it will be hard to get a true reflection, but at present City's goals to shots conversion is on the high side.

fabio Posted August 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2015 Doesn't includes chances like kodjia had when he cut in either or headers just over the bar so balances out. Guess I'm trying to say at least we're creating chances better than not. If agard can help with converting a few more then happy days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCulturalBomb Posted August 30, 2015 Report Share Posted August 30, 2015 Trying to be positive just doesn't work on this forum does it Nope, people seem to enjoy complaining for the sake of complaining. Even though by theory we are actually playing well and it's some silly defending letting us down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SedRA Posted August 30, 2015 Report Share Posted August 30, 2015 Watching the extended highlights on player shows how we cut them open so easily time and time again. Brilliant approach play but absolutely woeful finishing, so many tame efforts after getting into brilliant positions. Personally though, I'm confident this will get sorted out. Also, regarding the goals conceded I wonder how much of this is just bad luck? I mean, even in the premiership you don't seem to get punished quite as clinically as we have been this season, you see many games with lots of SOT without scoring.
