He’s a rag .

I'll never tire of saying this, but if we are clinical and put away only 25% of our chances, which isn't a good conversion rate, then this match and most others, will be done by h/t.
Dave/Sane and KDB/anyone in the centre are the pairings that really work well, we haven't quite got a right sided partnership yet, possibly because we have a dearth of left footers. But look at the quality of em!

I think you mean surfeit of left footers, rather than dearth?

Nah, definitely dearth, we've only got 11 left footers.

 

[lasereyes]

And our right footers (Aguero, KDB) are whispering death with their left

This place needs a thesaurus button. Would really help me! Choose the wrong word and it's the dearth of some!

Actually it would be a magnificent conversion rate.

We had the best conversation rate last season in the league with just under 21%

Love that stat, it puts me back in my box for a while! However, it could be improved upon no doubt about it. Imagine getting it to 30% the number of goals we could be banging in.

I think he meant a “glut”.

 

[hello]

Some have expressed concerns about the new manager bounce or old manager gone relief, however I genuinely don't think its a warranted fear in this instance, Wagner did a great job in getting a bunch of average championship level players promoted and then fluked staying up because somehow their were a glut of really shit teams in the premier league. Southampton & rags showed immediate improvements because a homeless guy would improve atmosphere and tactics compared to Hughes and peg. Huddersfield are where they are simply because they have a distinct lack of quality.

Is it still the case that their recognised strikers haven’t mustered a goal between them in the league this year?
