The shots on goal is a worry.

Well if that meant anything we wouldn't be top of the league. Which shows you how misleading stats can be...

There was an in-depth analysis doing the rounds a couple of months back which looked at each team and how clinically attacking and defensive each team is.

Yes we create a very low number of chances on average, but we have a better conversion rate than nearly all the teams are converting our chances.

Interesting, but we can make what we want of statistics, as has been done on here before ;)

However this is the only stat I am bothered about:

Going back to the shots stats, despite us having a very low number of shots our conversion rate is the best in the league. Look at this table to see how we compare with other teams:

As you can see we have just over 6 shots per goal, but 2.85 shots on target per goal. Whereas our closest rival in the table Brentford are clinically wasteful.
