OUT-SHOOTING OPPONENTS
Manchester United are taking 23.5 shots a match and allowing 10.25, against a league median of 11 and 9.25. Shot volume predicts the next match better than goals do, because goals are shots multiplied by finishing variance and finishing variance does not persist. A side controlling shots without the results to match is the version of good form the table hides.
