Updated goal stats. I'm the only side yet to play both Birmingham and MK Dons before the halfway stage.
The average CSoT is 29.20%. You're operating 2.5 times under that, don't see how it's even possible.

Or put another way, Reading have exactly half your SoT but double your conversion rate. Game has damned you.

i feel your pain

my stats
S - SoT - G - CS - CSoT
200 - 86 - 18 - 0.09 - 0.21
Last two are still double my numbers.

Yeah. In any other season my shots and shots on target would be enough to put me in the top 10 but this season conversion rate is screwed and opponents score a goal for every two shots on target they have.

Relegation battle fixtures up to halfway point:


Ones in green are must wins. Reading v Plymouth will be huge. I can't see myself picking up a point against Everton, City or Southend but I think the other two have a shot at picking up a point or two - especially Reading against Chelsea as I think christy will be playing his second string.

I see you getting 10 points if you play your strongest possible side in these games

Yeah, for me you were daft to sell Suarez now. Should've waited until end of the season. @The Taurean will see blood now and seek to have one hand on the trophy tonight.
yeaaaa probably! Especially seeing as Pedro (who i was moving into that pos) only went and got himself injured against Barnsley...

Nice win. Ronaldo had 9 (!) commentary chances and converted a third so nice one.

50% SoT Conversion in one match as my team beats the mighty Birmingham City 5:0. Eight players got '10' ratings (including all three subs), four players got '9' ratings and De Gea and Brahim got '6' ratings... and Brahim has the audacity to complain about lack of games!

De Gea (94)

Kimmich (91) Christensen (89) Matip (90) Alaba (93)

Pogba (93)⚽ Goretzka (91)➕
Brahim (75) Kroos (95)⚽ Bale (95)⚽
Martial (90)⚽⚽⭐
Subs: Monreal (90), Boateng (94), Mercado (89), Dele (91), Brandt (90), Eriksen (92), Sterling (91)➕➕
Did not travel: Ramos (95), Griezmann (95), Isco (93), Roberto (91), Perin (89)


Key:
⚽ = Goal
➕ = Assist
⭐ = MOTM
= Subbed off
= Subbed on

Next up: a loss to Division 2's former-leaders-now-third-placed-team Ipswich Town

Good win for the scouse. Damo finally beats......a non managed team
:lol: :(

Am happy with coming away with a point, sad that it Forrest drew it back straight away after my subs...

and oblak saved a lot of shots (8 on target) and only gets a 5 rating... odd

You had to pick up form just as we're about to play, didn't you?
