City Not Creating As Many High-Quality Opportunities 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Wed Apr 8, 2015 5:06 pm

Manchester City haven't created as many high-quality opportunities this season, one year after winning the Premier League.

The 2013-14 team created 1.68 expected goals per game on an average of 13.18 shots from the run of play. This year, City are shooting more (14.29 per game) but only creating 1.54 expected goals.

 

The trend also holds true in the penalty area, where shots have increased from 8.42 to 9.26.
