Did Fadz get a song yesterday out of interest? I like were a club that ex employees come back to. Always found booing some ex players a bit embarrassing. Not O’Hare though. That’s funny.
Think since the new year he’s kicked on and been pretty consistent in his work rate and impact. Still more to come (like the ability to trap a ball), but worth recognising the improvement I think.
Came across this floating around.
Which suggests since Jan we’ve been one of the lower half in terms of conceding chances and dropped a bit in terms of creating them.
Basically Lampard is ruining xG as a stat.
I think this strategy ignores the mental effect on a team of getting hammered every week tbh. Buy PL players and assume you can sell them again if you get relegated and those you don’t use the parachute payments to keep.
They weren’t though. Look at the actual shot xGs and the big chances metric. You can’t just divide the total xG by shots and claim we had loads of good chances.
Since new year has been the total opposite of the first half of the season. I guess that’s how luck averaging out works. I thought they had a couple of decent penalty shouts as well tbh.
