Ramsey’s Streak
There is no argument that Aaron Ramsey is on a great goal-scoring run. To illustrate just how great a run this is consider the facts that this season, in all competitions for Arsenal, Ramsey has scored 6 goals on 14 shots for a conversion rate of 2.3 shots per goal.  Before this season, Ramsey had scored 11 Arsenal goals on 199 career shots for a conversion rate of 18.09. After bagging a goal in last night’s win over Marseille, Ramsey’s career average for Arsenal is down to a much more respectable 12.53 shots per goal (213 shots, 17 goals).
That might not seem like much movement but it really is. To get back to his career average at the start of this season (18.09), Ramsey would have to miss his next 95 shots thus keeping his career goals scored stuck on 17 and raising his total shots to 308. At Ramsey’s current season average of 2 shots per game, that would take him 47+ matches without a single goal.
