I fully understand it, I just don’t need to revert to stats to make a point or back up an opinion. I don’t mind being proved wrong with stats, but my good friend Dave hasn’t managed to do it yet Am sure he could, he’s right in some cases that the eyes do indeed lie, but when the best strikers always have a high xG it just reinforces to me that that particular indicator is the indicator of fuck all in isolation I think you focus too much on the individual. xG is better for team analysis. Also, a high xG without context isn't the be all and end all, better when you compare it to goals scored or league average or whatever. Saying Mbappe has a high xG isn't saying he's necessarily a good striker, just that he gets a lot of good opportunities. If he's scored 30 goals from 18.674 xG then that's really impressive, if he's scored 5, it's less so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not annoyed, not really. I enjoy a tete a tete. Also, as an aside, the only thing I remember from geography is how an oxbow lake is formed.

No, they were always getting rid, just kept him while they got a new man in and kept the media happy by giving him his 1000th game. I meant imagine if they'd kept him to this point in time and would we now have a shot at maybe making a good run at the play off spots? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
