Edouard and the Finishing Myth

Volume and quality of shots is the key to great goalscoring. I take a look at whose shots have the highest xG and who are the prolific shooters.

would be interesting to see where Bayo is on that matrix. For some reason I think there is a real player in him. However, he needs to take his chance when they come around and keep injury free.

Not enough data but James used Slovak league data from Wyscout on here:

Celtic Strikes Back – Celtic By Numbers

James Dailey considers how new signing Klimala compares to Edouard and Bayo. What does this mean for team shape?

Good stuff CbN.

Bayo has scored 2 goals (lets not pretend they were OG's) in 190 minutes with just 1 start so basically the 78 minutes he played.
I don't think he'll be a goal machine but I think there is a Sutton type player in there..... just needs a Larsson / Edward finisher next to him.

If Griff get injured I believe Bayo should slot in before Klimala, I'm not sure why NL played him against Clyde from the start. I didn't see the game so can't comment on how either played so not a slur on Kilmala.
