8) Robin van Persie – Manchester United – 3.3 shots per game
The Dutch forward has won the Golden Boot in consecutive seasons, but has been less clinical for David Moyes’ side this term, partly due to injuries. It’s not for the want of trying though, as his 3.3 shots per game shows.
Van Persie’s candid interview after Manchester United lost to Olympiacos in the UEFA Champions League revealed a great deal – perhaps if he was allowed to play his natural game, the goals would once again start to flow.
