Vipotnik Goals

[Flash]

I keep seeing the same complaints that too many of our goals are coming from Vipotnik. He has scored 16 of our 39 goals which is 41%. I checked a few other top scorers in other leagues to see if that was high or not. Looking at Haaland he’s scored 39% of City’s goals. Kane has scored 32.9% of Bayerns goals and Mbappe has scores 43% of Reals goals.

I’m not going to go and check every league, but it’s clear that our goal situation is not a unique one. And it makes sense that the highest scorers in the leagues will have a higher percentage of goals for their team. Yes it’s a worry if he gets injured or the goals dry up but that is a worry for every club who has a good striker.

Well he's in good company with those that you have mentioned. On a serious note, there are not enough goals being scored by other players in the team, particularly our wingers and midfield players. Our chance creation is also poor, we get in some terrific positions in games, particularly with our widemen, and yet most of the time the final ball is abysmal.

The number of times we beat a press, move it out quickly to the wide men and then they stop letting every opposing player get back into position rather than using the momentum to drive past the full back and get into the box for either a shooting opportunity or a cut back to the penalty spot is criminal.

Eom does it occasionally but Ronald is especially prone to it.

Can't disagree with any of that, and our final ball to someone when they do get free in space is woeful.

The point myself and other posters are making Vp has done brilliantly to score so many goals , there should be more contributions from elsewhere.

Coventry top three scores have 13, 10 ,10 .
Wrexham 11 & 9
Derby 10 & 10 .
Ipswich 12, 9. 9 .
Hull 12 & 11 .

When you have 2 or 3 players who can hurt you it's more difficult to keep.them quiet than
1.

I've never understood the whole "x club would be fucked if they lost their striker" rhetoric

You can say that about every club and their top scorer in every league that's ever existed ffs

Yeah but those numbers show that it's not odd to have the top scorer in the league scoring a high percentage of their teams goals. Nearly 60% of our other goals have come from other players. If you look at the goals from when Matos took over Vips contribution's are less at 37.5% of the goals.

I just don't think it's as big an issue as people are making it out to be. We should be celebrating we have the best striker in the league instead of moaning that the other players aren't doing enough. You don't know he instructions those other players have been given, they could be looking to get the ball to Vip as much as possible rather than going for goals themselves. And if they were scoring more then it's likely Vipotnik wouldn't be scoring as much because he would have less chances.

And you're last point every team will be concentrating on covering the striker. And even when they do they're doing a terrible job of keeping Vipotnik quiet.

Man City have scored 56 goals, Haaland has scored 22 of them - 34 goals from other players.
Bayern have scored 64, Kane has 28 of them - 36 goals from other players.
Real Madrid have scored 54, Mbappe has 23 of them - 31 goals from other players.

We've scored 39 goals, Vipotnik has 16 of them - 23 goals from other players.

So while I don't see anyone complaining that Vip is scoring too many goals, we could definitely do with more from elsewhere. If we had another 8 goals from other players over the season (to match the lowest amount quoted above), we'd probably be in the playoff places right now. I think we'd all welcome that next season.
