The majority of Buendia’s shots came from outside the penalty area. That would be a slight red flag for me, but that’s coachable.
This season Buendia has taken a lot more shots from inside the penalty area and as a result has scored more goals.

Look at his heat map from the 2019/20 season and be educated on what he was tasked to do maybe?? Lmaooo ![]()
we wouldn’t be buying him for his goal scoring ability we would be buying him for his creating as a #10, which is why we are so high on him because he fills the exact role that we needed linking midfield to attack. We have that now in Ødegaard but he’s gonna cost upwards of 50m to get pernlmanently.
Can Stan just fork out 50 million quid for Odegaard dude ?
So as one of the 3 forwards he was tasked to shoot the same as the other forward player but score less? Some weird task to give dude. Some real smooth brain shit there bro
I’ve just realised I’ve had this same dumb discussion with people on here when we signed Willian. Look how that turned out
It’s not difficult to comprehend he wasn’t venturing into the box, look at his through balls. The majority of his shots were from distance, his job was to play for Norwich like Özil used to play for us. He wasn’t like a Theo Walcott or Sanchez, maybe try watching him play one day 


So let me get this straight.
You’ve told me Norwich enjoyed roughly 50% of the ball.
This guys job wasn’t to shoot but he shot alot and didn’t score
This guys job was to play through balls, of which he played 0.4 key pass through balls every 90 minutes of football? Whilst enjoying 50% possession? Hes not doing a very good job
Sounds like Norwich who enjoyed half the game, who only scored 25 goals.
Didn’t create many good chances.
Quite
The
Predicament
I have Emi at around .58 key passes/through balls per match which is impressive, KDB was at around .65 lmaooo please understand what u are saying before posting 
also he doesn’t really shoot very much for a forward player as I said because he’s not, he’s a creative player. KDB shot a lot more about 3 times as much with the same shot accuracy…soo I dunno who said he was taking a lot of shots, but it wasn’t me and it’s not true either.
13 goals from 100 shots translates much better than 1 goal from 40.
It’s .4 on whoscored so /shrug. You’re the one that said that was his main job.
So he doesn’t shoot much because he’s a creative player. But the leagues best creative player shoots alot more, 3x as much. Love that logic.
When I compared cantwell and buendia shots you said different roles, I’m saying he’s taking alot of shots for someone who isn’t meant to shoot, the same amount as the other winger who is apparently meant to shoot more or whatever bull you were implying.
It’s shit logic only if u ignore the fact that City have about 70% possession on average and live in the opposition’s penalty box lmaooo. Also 25% of Buendia’s shots were fk’s, and only about 10% of KDB’s shots were from fk’s, so once again Emi wasn’t tasked to be scoring goals he was tasked at Norwich to create chances which he did in a terrible team who couldn’t manage to score many of the chances he set up. Oh and also have a bunch of defensive duties on top of that. Emi had 4.1 interceptions plus tackles per match and KDB only had 2.1 (the actual number is lower but adjusted for the inflation of the possession that’s where it lands)
So once again, to clarify, I would want Emi to play as a creative player here if we were to buy him a hybrid 8/10 similar to what Grealish does not be closer to what KDB is like a true old school 10. As I’ve been saying since last season, if you actually watch the player he’s got all the skills to do just that.
Once again, this all means zero without context and by reading ur comments all you’ve shown today is that you don’t watch these guys play. Cantwell is a forward player, he is tasked by the Norwich manager to make runs into the box, Emi is tasked to provide these forward players the ball. Cantwells average shot on goal was from 15 yards out, so he’s living in the penalty area. Buendia’s were an average of 22 yards out which like I said a majority were from free kicks.
Stats are really useful when u can pair them up with the eye test and u can understand their context by watching matches. In ur case I’d avoid using stats to try and prove ur point if ur not watching the matches my dood ![]()

So he’s wasteful with his shots and 9 big chances created in a whole season means the quality of his chances are poor.
Is all I’ve deduced.
Thanks for that debate bro
There was no debate this was pretty much just u talking about how u don’t watch much football homeboy lmaooo 





Don’t watch football…
No mate I’m an adult I work and have a family I don’t waste time watching fucking Norwich in the Championship hahahaahH bro you’re on holiday watching Championship football on a weekly basis bro
Smoked fuck as out bro
Lmaoo it’s true tho cuz I wake up at like 4 or 5am to watch every weekend 

So true.
The irony is I fall asleep watching.
Laca so bad even his friends don’t rate him.
Get out
How the fuck can Lacazette be criticised when out midfield is gutless and basically show more intensity passing the ball back than they do going forward.
Andre Previn couldn’t get a tune out of our midfield.
