1 in 33 for Bernard would put him at 5 after 161 appearances. So comparatively yes I'm sure.
Ok, hold up.
no that’s not how it works. He’s not going to score 1 every single season until he leaves.
How many would you suggest he will get for his best season? The evidence I've seen this year says to me he never hits 5.
What numbers were they looking at when they shelled out 30 mil for Yannick Bolasie?
Can we just stop this silliness? There are bad numbers and good numbers. This idea that numbers don't tell you SOME objective reality is just stupid. They aren't the end all be all, but it does give some level of objectivity to performance, but you HAVE to use comparable numbers. ALL CLUBS USE NUMBERS. Both to measure current performance AND to attempt to efficiently identify players that can help them. So anyone decrying numbers just because they think they are BAD, is just ignorant. And anyone that thinks they can just tell these things by watching the game and that it's better than the numbers, is also KIDDING themselves if the pure observations are even good enough for the best managers and professionals running these clubs.
When you account for the fact that a lot of his chances created are low quality it looks worse. Second that ignores that all of those players bar Fraser scored goals too and Fraser was a far better creator. Third I'm not really suggesting we should sign any of those just thatthey arent that much better or worse so we need to do better if we want to move up.
