Martinelli’s attacking data is terrible with Eddie. This is not a bad reflection on Eddie, it would be the same with any striker that wants to be as close to the box as possible.
Well ok - but we need to prioritise the easy goals over the harder goals. This team badly needs to score goals from inside the box - if that comes at the expense of the lower xG goals from outside the box the trade off is obvious.
But Martinelli just needs to figure it out. Hes more than good enough.
I do see your point and I don’t necessarily disagree. But it’s worth considering, Martinelli is the best finisher we have, and if it’s a choice between Martienlli getting ~0.8xG per game or Eddie, I’m picking the former
