Carlton Palmer Declares Sheffield United Star a ‘Nightmare’ Opponent for Ex-Teammates at Sheffield Wednesday!

The former Cardiff City and Wigan Athletic forward has gone over a month without scoring, experiencing four consecutive goalless matches since his debut at Bramall Lane, where he netted a first-half goal against QPR on August 10. While some Sheffield United fans have criticized Moore for his lack of goals, the underlying statistics indicate that he is likely to start scoring again soon. He boasts an expected goals (xG) return of 3.0, which is only surpassed by Josh Maja, the division’s top scorer with six goals from six matches. Despite his struggles in front of goal, Moore has made a strong impression in his new environment in the Steel City, and his all-around skills make him a challenging opponent for any Championship defender.

Arsenal vs Leicester: Unraveling the Mystery Behind Leicester’s Wave of Yellow Cards

27/09/2024 Raymond 0

Leicester’s situation this season is indeed puzzling. Their level of tackling has increased by 30% compared to last year, and the number of fouls called against them has risen by 22%. Yet, remarkably, the number of yellow cards they’ve received for those fouls has actually decreased. This contradiction raises an interesting question: how can a team ramp up their tackling intensity while simultaneously receiving fewer yellow cards in a league with supposedly stricter refereeing?

Despite the increased tackling, Leicester now concedes an average of 1.6 goals per game—nearly double the 0.89 goals per game they allowed last season. This suggests that while they are tackling more to counteract the goals they’re conceding, the reduction in yellow cards for fouls remains baffling. It’s a curious phenomenon that leaves fans and analysts alike scratching their heads.
