I certainly admit you have to squint, but the shot map is the right embryo. He didn't have much joy at RW for us at the end of the season. It was Slot so 🤷♀️. I only saw the highlights from the England friendly.
Can't believe we're having this conversation, but here we are. João Gomes isn't even at the level of peak Endō
It's an imperfect analysis, but we need about 15 goals from a new RW
Rayan. Note massive xG over-performance. Not saying his output can't scale, but NPxG is lower than our usual profile. You're paying through the nose for a "lucky" 6 months. Not saying it's the wrong move, because the market is weak and compromise is needed. But it isn't an obvious slam dunk imho.
We're going to have to compromise somewhere. Pair him with the right fullback and ... maybe?
This is relative to attacking mids/wingers. Here's Salah from last year in the Prem.
