@Calum @LukeTheGooner thats probably a PL only stat. Balotelli definitely scored for mourinho as a teenager.

As if any further proof were needed, I think iâm right in saying that last seasonâs campaign in the European Cup / Champion League was the first of the 19 weâve played in, where we ended up with a negative goal difference.

Tony Adams is the only captain to win the League title in three different decades, for the same club.

Not playing Giroud must be an influence on that statistic.
Arguably a number of factors. I doubt it is in anyway sustainable either way tbh.
My thoughts exactly. It wonât last.
Why wonât it last?
Ok weâre probably only top by 1% and the entire range (among the good teams) is probably something like 23%-18%, but itâs still better to be up the right end of it.
I love Giroud but yeah, without the hirsute Frenchman in the team, weâre benefiting in that regard.
No, a conversion rate like that wouldnât be sustainable and we saw plenty of lucky finishing in the first few matches. Itâs also worth mentioning that Opta, for some bizarre reason, arenât even including blocked shots.
Just looking at the conversion rate (especially when so many shots are excluded) without anything else to provide further context, canât really tell us much.
Here are some other, more detailed numbers if anyone is interested.
Btw, Giroudâs finishing in 15-16 was perfectly fine. So that argument, if weâre going to limit it strictly to just finishing, is bullshit.
Because we have scored 3 or more in four of our seven games to achieve that figure. We always create chances but weâd probably need to keep up that level of actual scoring to also keep our conversion rate so successful. Iâll happily be proved wrong though if it does happen.
