He has had more/better chances than anyone else in the league this season, he just isn’t scoring them. Compare that to Roofe who is scoring way more than he should given the number/quality of the chances he is getting. I wonder how this compares to last season, or the year before? It surprises me that he's getting a lot of chances, although it has always been clear he misses a lot. Are there any other stats, around goal creation? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbr 1,247 Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 Personally I think he is more of a team player, last year and the year prior , we relied on this young guy to take on defences single handedly, mot any more and its paying massive dividends. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did surprisingly well (for me at least) in these stats in previous seasons, often out performing his xG. I am pretty sure he has been top for xG per 90 for a long time in this league, but he definitely didn’t have this deficit between XG per 90 and goals per 90. Well, the stats I remember from last season were probably from before the slump, there would almost certainly have been a deficit by the end of the season. In terms of goal creation, there is a new stat Rangers Report have been putting out called “Win Impact Rating”, and Morelos always scores highly. But his WIP has been falling gradually through the season for some reason. I am a bit skeptical of this stat.

DMAA 3,603 Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 (edited) Here it is. If you look through it you will maybe see why I am a bit skeptical as to how useful it is. It is intended to judge overall positive impact on the team I think, so covers everything from interceptions, tackles, shots on targets etc. I think I just feel shots on target alone for example shouldn’t necessarily be counted as a positive impact. But that’s just my surface level impression, I haven’t had a chance to really look into it. Edited December 12, 2020 by DMAA 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This has Morelos in third place for xA, which is quite astonishing. 4 Rangers players in the top 5. Quite a disparity between xA and assists per 90 though which suggests to me a higher number of lower quality chances being created. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacK1950 2,226 Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 Surprised this thread came up as I have been saying on here and FF that critics should lay off Morelos as he is playing a different role,obviously to instruction.Agree some of his first touches have been poor but some of his passes sublime.Also he is the only plater who seems to try a quick throw in,as last night,rather than leave to the full backs. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rousseau 9,310 Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 Morelos is certainly doing things in the build-up. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
