2022/23 TOTTENHAM REVIEW: ATTACK
Total | Rank v other clubs | |
Goals scored | 70 | 5th |
Shots | 518 | 7th |
Shots in the box | 353 | 7th |
Shots on target | 192 | 6th |
Big chances | 78 | 8th |
Expected goals (xG) | 57.80 | 8th |
Non-penalty expected goals (NPxG) | 53.07 | 7th |
It was a very disappointing campaign for Spurs, finishing outside of the European spots in eighth place. A total of 70 goals was more than top-four sides Manchester United and Newcastle United but managerial drama and terrible defending undid Harry Kane‘s best-ever FPL season.
No team was involved in more goals than the Lilywhites’ combined 133. Without any 0-0 draws, 32 of 38 matches involved at least two goals and a half-dozen saw at least six of them.
Their 37.1% shot accuracy was only bettered by Brentford, with an expected goal (xG) overachievement of +12.20 that sits behind Arsenal and Manchester City.

After losing a 3-1 lead at Southampton in Gameweek 28, Antonio Conte’s post-match rant took aim at his players, the club and its owners. Quickly dismissed, goals and shots dropped to a lower rate under Cristian Stellini and then Ryan Mason, although xG and big chances improved.
