It's obvious we need a right winger but are our other players doing enough?
We are actually the most clinical finishers in the league with the biggest disparity between goals and xG (50 goals and 42.08 xG). However, this is taking account of the whole team.
Martial and Greenwood tend to be struggling to meet their xG.
Rashford - 8 goals - 7.4 xG [110%] (tends to score harder chances and misses easier chances.)
Cavani - 6 goals - 6.29 xG [95%]
Martial - 4 goals - 6.27 xG [64%]
Greenwood - 1 goal - 2.62 xG [38%]
There seems to be a tendency to point fingers at other areas of the pitch, but is it our forwards that are creating the biggest issues in our creativity?
xA and (xA per 90) - Ranked by xA per 90 - Liverpool stats from 19/20 - xA if 90 minutes played for 38 games.
Attack
Mahrez - 4.29 (0.3474) - 13.20
Foden - 3.50 (0.3069) - 11.66
Salah - 8.73 (0.2709) - 10.29
Sterling - 4.27 (0.2367) - 8.99
Mane - 7.24 (0.2358) - 8.96
Firmino - 7.35 (0.2178) - 8.28
Torres - 1.53 (0.1908) - 7.25
Cavani - 1.56 (0.1890) - 7.18 - Fewer Minutes in Comparison
Martial - 2.52 (0.1809) - 6.87
Jesus - 1.46 (0.1323) - 5.03
Greenwood - 1.20 (0.1098) - 4.17
Rashford - 2.1 (0.1017) - 3.86
Our forwards seem way off the pace in creating good chances with the best teams. We have got away with it by being pretty clinical, but I don't think this is sustainable.
Lack of movement, lack of teamwork between the front players (they barely pass to each other), bad decision making, holding onto the ball too long etc. all seem major issues when I watch us.
