George Hirst Scout Report
George Hirst, a 25-year-old purebred striker, is carving his niche as a formidable frontman for Ipswich Town in the Championship League. His record indicates a robust goal threat, the metric indicating his menace within opponents' danger areas with a high percentile of 74.6%. His figures also suggest a strong xG (expected goals) rate per 90 minutes of 75.41%, demonstrating his knack of regularly finding himself in scoring positions.
Hirst's assist stats per 90 minutes are off the charts at 95.08%, a testament to his eye for setting up his teammates. This, combined with a decent xA (expected assists) per 90 of 67.21% and his above average progressive passing at 57.14%, indicate that he is not just a prolific goal-scorer, but also an adroit provider.
However, traces of weaknesses are evident in his game as well. His ball recovery rate and goal efficiency stand at dismally low percentiles (7.94% and 14.29% respectively), reflecting his struggles in winning the ball back and converting chances into goals. Moreover, his pass accuracy per 90 is relatively low at 39.34%. These suggest that while Hirst may be a threat in front of goal, his contributions to the defensive aspect of the game and precision in passing leave much to be desired.
Hirst's journey with Ipswich Town displays promising glimpses into his potential, especially as a scorer and assister. Yet, to rise to the next level, he'd need to hone his defensive skills and enhance his goal conversion and passing accuracy. At his prime of 25 years, it's an interesting career to follow.
