Football Insider examines the stats which could see the Uruguay international binned for Jota when a new manager comes in.
Jota stats embarrass Nunez – Uruguayan has missed 22 big chances this season
The Portugal international has notched 14 goals and four assists in 28 appearances across all competitions this term, but only 18 of those outings have come as part of the starting lineup.
As per
FBRef, Jota has contributed (scored or assisted) to 1.03 goals per league 90 this season – the 10th-most in Europe’s big five leagues and comparable to the likes of Harry Kane and Erling Haaland.
Meanwhile, Nunez has recorded 0.77 expected goals per league 90 this season – among the highest figures in Europe – but has managed just 0.57 goals per Premier League game in reality (per
FBRef).
On the other hand, Jota (per
FBRef) has scored 4.6 more league goals than expected this season – the most clinical campaign of his career so far.
He has
recorded the second-most goal-creating actions per game (dribbles, passes and drawing fouls) in Europe’s big five leagues (1.12 per 90) – behind only Paris Saint-Germain star Ousmane Dembele (1.20 per 90).
As per the
Premier League, Nunez has missed 22 big chances in top-flight games this term – while Jota has spurned just two.
