I agree the lack of creating clear cut chances is a concern, which is why these nearly moments in the final third become even more crucial.
Indeed, but this means we shouldn't place so much blame on the finishers if the chances aren't that good, and we shouldn't believe we played superbly because we managed to get a touch near the goal in an awkward position and nothing came out of it (which is why xG is not really that reliable, even if it's the best we have atm)
In other words, we should have learnt the lesson from back then when we were calling Aubameyang Özil 2.0 for failing to score the nothing header he could get per game.
