A lot of Leeds United fans have flocked to a post by LUFCDATA showing how dominant Leeds are in the games they play.
The tweet claims that the Whites have completed 7,680 more passes in games than any of their opponents and also created 223 more chances.
Do these statistics concern you?
Yes, we should be miles ahead of everyone
No, more goals will come
This is then described by LUFCDATA as ‘absolutely staggering numbers’.
However, it has worried some Leeds fans who feel that if they were more clinical, they would be running away with the league.
Leeds have completed 7,680 more passes and created 223 more chances than all our opponents combined when facing them this season. Absolutely staggering numbers. ?? #LUFC https://t.co/rlMKRJHkre

That’s frightening as it is scary because thinking with the right fire power *and not having a pop at Bamford* as the whole team as a rule are missing good chances on a regular basis – with a proven 20/30 goal a season striker we could have promoted mid/late april?

I’m going to be captain obvious here but if we were even 15% more efficient in front of goal this league would be a procession and our football would get the plaudits it deserves.
That’s my only frustration.
We could be miles ahead

If we were lethal up top, promotion would have been sealed already, right?

Conversion rate still scares me, if we could finish we’d be out of sight

2 out of three shots off target
4 out of 5 poor crossesand still playing teams off the park, and pushing for the top spot!
What could Bielsa do with better quality?

These stats just makes me more depressed. We should be out of sight running away with the championship right now. Instead we’re battling for top 6 spot and playoffs.

What do we think?
These statistics show just how dominant the Whites are in most of the games they play; however, they have only scored 48 goals – with West Bromwich Albion, Brentford and QPR scoring more than them.
What this data shows is that Leeds need to put the ball in the back of the net more often as they seem to create enough chances in the matches they play.
Patrick Bamford is Leeds’ top scorer with 12 this season, but the next highest is Jack Harrison with five, and they could really do with more players chipping in.
