Greatwesternline Snowflake Royal Greatwesternline Even if they had got the shots on target they would have had to beat the keeper. They were reasonable chances but think expecting a goal from them seems optimistic.
I never said they should all have been scored. I said they were good chances.
Rino should really have hit the target. McIntyre too. If either do hit the target there's a good chance they beat the keeper or go loose to be pounced on. Ejaria's was a better struck effort IMO and less likely as a goal.
Those, the Joao header, Yiadom just now. We've created enough to score, but our efforts on the goal simply haven't been good enough.
That's how xG works. You attribute a chance of scoring to each opportunity and over the course of a match they build up to usually 1 - 2 goals. Which is more or less what you are doing as well.
I think the quality of our chances is amounting to about 1 goal. But We need more!
Which was my initial point - they were all good chances, as was the one for Yiadom
And this isn't new
The quality of shooting isn't good enough
Unless Joao scores no one else can
