expected goals

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.
