Unnamed Trialist Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 2 minutes ago, Kadenge said: Only way to determine effectiveness of conversion rates vs other 7 is to have comparative stats. Corners are disclosed. Don't know how many free kicks in danger areas we generate. My comments are just based on corners generated and whether delivery is good, scoring threat created & goals scored. A lot of our deliveries are poor (mostly Davies) and execution when the ball gets to the box. As @Unnamed Trialistmentioned more variety on set pieces may help. Larin & Vitoria are both good. Not entirely related, and not to Vitoria, but we really need to try to get another free kick at the front of the box. We have not had one of the type Eustaquio put in at the Gold Cup in many games. Sure, we are a team with greater strength outside, on the wings, than in the attacking inside (we don't have attacking mids, or else don't play them as such), and tend to get fouled out wide, or get corners. So we don't get direct free kick opportunities where a Eustaquio or a Davies could have a go from 20-25 metres with a wall in place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obinna Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 Man is in fantastic form. That's two consecutive goals, isn't it? That's also 11 goals in 2.5 seasons for Moreirense by my count. Spectacular for a defender. costarg, dyslexic nam, Sal333 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toontownman Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 Yeah was surprised so much chatter about this being a new hidden talent for Vitoria, we have seen quite a few posted on here over the years. Quality penalty machine too. sebdeserio, Ruffian, TGAA_Star and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig11rm Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 Very impressive to get it over the wall and under the crossbar with that much power from so close in, completely unstoppable. johnyb and TGAA_Star 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The penalty was saved and Davies scored on the rebound (maybe Kaye had the first rebound also saved?). I don't remember if we have had any other penalties this year.

Off the top of my head: 1 vs Aruba (Hoilett), 1 vs Suriname (David) I think 1 other vs Cayman (Davies), 1 at the Gold Cup vs Haiti (Hoilett)? and then Honduras (Larin). Was definitely surprised to see Larin over Vitoria considering he really doesn't have the best record with penalties. Don't think Vitoria has ever missed one in his career.
