Only 133rd: Damaging West Ham stat solves Pablo mystery once and for all

West Ham United forward Pablo Felipe is tied for 133rd in the Championship with just 1.6 shots per game, according to FotMob data highlighted by Hammers News writer Dan Owen. The £20 million signing from Gil Vicente recently scored his first goal for the club in a 3-2 Carabao Cup defeat against Fulham, ending an eight-month wait across 21 matches in all competitions.

Owen argues that Pablo's low shot volume explains his lack of league goals across 18 appearances. Manager Nuno Espirito Santo praised Pablo's defensive work rate and importance as a facilitator, but Owen contends the 22-year-old must receive more scoring opportunities to replicate his prolific finishing form from Portugal.
