OUT-SHOOTING OPPONENTS

Manchester United are taking 21 shots a match and allowing 10.4, against a league median of 8.63 and 7.5. 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.
