Wasn't like this when I posted that controversial xG video though, was it?! Absolute liberty. I explained why that explanation of xG was utter bollocks at the time.

I'M A MAN! I'M 40!" ...is just fucking hilarious to me. It sounds so much like a weird brag. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Gloom 21924 Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 FAO @essembeeofsunderland Nice statistical breakdown of Joelinton’s transformation by Chris Waugh in the Athletic, highlighting how he has become one of the best midfielders in the league “The 25-year-old is thriving as a No 8. His defending intensity (99 out of 99), aerial duels quantity (99), disruption of opposition moves (92), carry and dribble volume (92) and ball recoveries and interceptions (89) ratings, all adjusted to compare him to other central midfielders, are extremely impressive. When it comes to his duels ratings, which are weighted based on the quality of opposition, Joelinton performs particularly well with his tackling. With a rating of 76, he is significantly above the Premier League average, just as he is for open-play headers (70).” https://theathletic.com/3199497/2022/03/23/his-defensive-awareness-is-incredible-breaking-down-joelinton-the-midfielder/?source=user_shared_article Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 44901 Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 Seem to remember you being in the xG dismissal crew last week. 🤔 But now you LIKE stats, do you, YOU LITTLE FUCKER!? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 10858 Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 Gloom flip-flops more than an actual flip-flop. Bed-wetter brigade ->Team Right Luddite -> Team Right Those stats do show where Joelinton can improve his game though; specifically ball retention and link up play. Both are metrics that should improve the more he plays alongside Bruno. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 21924 Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 look dipshits, i was bed wetter ceo when we're stranded near the bottom, four points from safety or whatever it was, with a single win to our name all season. i've been pretty confident since the everton/villa games because it's been clear since then that howe's work on the training game is paying off. as for xG - that can still do one. i was pointing more to the meaningful stats, such as ball recovery, duels won etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewerk 30620 Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 I prefer to use my eyes to judge how a team has played but there is much more to a game than the final score. The likes of xG can be a useful tool in explaining that to those who know fuck all about football e.g. Gemmill. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strawb 4268 Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 XG and it’s ilk is just another measure of how the game went. On its own it’s pretty meaningless but when used with other statistics it gives a better picture of how each team did what they did. I pay it no mind because I know everything about football, but that’s not to say it’s useless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
