9th worst shots to goals ratio in the league according to that article. That is based on premiership games though where he hasn't scored that many.

This is a misleading stat to me... he can be shooting from 20-30 yards multiple times a game because he doesn't get a chance up close and when he does he generally bags it.

What a load of nonsense. It would be relevant if it applied to robots .

It's only misleading in that it doesn't include his europa or fa cup goals IMO. In the league he hasn't been all that great. 7 goals not including his pen. 1 ahead of Naismith.
