All three of Leeds’ victories came by a single goal, and it’s reasonable to suggest that none of the games should have ended so close, especially when it came to Bristol City and Norwich City.

Before and after Willy Gnonto’s winning goal against Bristol City, Leeds had numerous opportunities to score; the greatest one went to Georginio Rutter within the six-yard box in the first half.

In addition, the Athletic reports that Rutter has the greatest underperformance of his xG and is statistically the most “wasteful” player in front of goal in the Championship.

Rutter most ‘wasteful’ player in front of goal

According to the post, Rutter has scored just five goals this season while having an xG of 9.3. He would have already been close to double figures this season if he had been a little more clinical.

In fact, the previously noted opportunity that was lost at Bristol City had an xG value of 0.88—higher than a penalty.Nonetheless, he should feel confident after his goal at Plymouth on Tuesday.

 

If Rutter keeps placing himself in the right situations, these kinds of things do tend to balance out over the course of a season. As a result, there might be a period when he goes on a bit of a hot streak.

However, considering what Rutter gives the word in terms of inventiveness, it is also extremely tough to fault him for too much.Because of the way he links play, he is maybe the most significant member of Leeds’ attacking group.

Leeds wouldn’t be nearly as high in the league as they are today without Rutter’s inventiveness, as only Leicester City’s Abdul Fatawu has produced more huge chances in the Championship than Rutter, according to Sofa Score.
