I hope Luongo has a good World Cup and we can sell him after for an inflated price.

Lets take it a step further and assume that half of the blocked shots were on target for both players. Now Luongo has 46.8% accuracy and Freeman has 45.9%. So to say that their shooting has been particularly different in quality is statistically incorrect. More so it would be incorrect to say that Freeman's shooting is any better than Luongo's.
The final thing I found most interesting was looking at their left to right foot ratio. Freeman took 61 shots with his left foot and only 10 with his right. Luongo has taken 25 with his right and 16 with his left. The rest of their shots were headers (Freeman with 1, Luongo with 5 which also tells me Luongo gets into the box more for those but then Freeman is probably on the wing in that scenario so it's unsurprising).
They both also have roughly the same proportion of shots inside the box compared to their total at about 37%.
All in all, their shooting is about as good as each others statistically speaking, although Luongo is more two footed than Freeman. No skewed stats here mate XD

I understand the law of probability thing stated by Stanley, but just from watching him shoot, I don't think that reducing the number of shots will improve the accuracy significantly enough for the difference to be noticeable. Personally, Chery, Fer and Austin were the last three players that I can say had legitimately excellent shots on them from all over the pitch (that I remember. Chances are I'm missing someone)Top Scorers 2018/2019

good for goss again. its great for us too whether he stays or we sell him.
i think we'll keep him though as i reckon mass or freeman will be gone in the summer for sure. only thing that worries me is that he may not be played in his right role. it'd be interesting to see him partnering scowen in a 4231 though, could possibly be a very good partnership in front of the defence
