this part is interesting :
Buendia has had 29 shots in all, the fourth most by players still waiting to get off the mark. But his expected-goals total of 1.81 hints at the bigger issue - these shots have been low quality. He has not been getting into the positions to provide the finishing touch. He has not been making those runs beyond the forward that Farke wants to see more of.
De Bruyne has had twice as many touches inside the box, Zaha more than three times as many. Norwich needed Buendia to be a goal threat himself this season too. The conundrum for Farke is that right now Norwich do not look threatening at all with him off the pitch.
