There seems to be a thought going around Columbus Crew SC circles that Ola Kamara is a poor finisher.
Despite the stats of 30 goals in 53 games, some fans seem to think Kamara should be doing more.
The question is, aside from watching a play and thinking “oh, Kamara missed a very easy goal that he shouldn’t have,” how do you quantify whether the forward misses more easy chances when compared to his MLS peers?
The goal with this piece is to determine whether this thinking is correct or whether the narrative of Kamara’s poor finishing is an example of confirmation bias and therefore, a myth.
