Dr Gloom 21868 Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 He also put a perfect ball on to Longstaff’s head, which was put wide. I think Longstaff would have been marginally offside anyway but I liked how he went on the outside occasionally and put it in on his left for once 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaddockLad 17142 Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 10 minutes ago, The Fish said: The "6 chances created" is simply that 6 of his passes lead to a shot. His xA was 1.2, which is very, very good. He had Dalot on toast, but also contributed to the defensive side of things. His decision making was much better, but he still drove inside too often, for my liking. I'm convinced he could have gone wide, dragging at least Dalot with him, leaving fewer defenders in their box. It was a very good display in a game of very good displays. He, like Longstaff, are players who will likely be moved on or pushed further down the pecking order if we get Champions League football. But he's an attacking threat in more games than he isn't, and he's adding more to his game with every fixture. No, he'll not be dancing through 4 defenders to score a Ben Arfa, because we don't play that way any more. Even in this game, he had several opportunities where once he'd shoot, but instead he chose the higher value pass. Several of those passes could have resulted in a goal, all of them were more likely to result in a goal than him taking the shot. I like him and there are few players in the league that are more likely to get you out of your seat as frequently as he is. I'll love him until long after he leaves, and I'll defend him til he's dead. Wooooah there spreadsheet dude, what is this xA of which you speak?? 🤔😧 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 44553 Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 Highest assists per 90 of any player at the club this season. More than twice the second placed player (Trippier). SO THAT'S INTERESTING. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 44553 Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 How does Moussa Diaby compare? PATHETICALLY. 0.26 assists per 90. Ok, he has scored 8 goals though for a G+A per 90 of 0.62 vs Maxi's 0.54. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
