I reckon I'd take Bannan over Allen.

Some good touches, looked better than any of his other appearances but positioning was all wrong and looked a bit nervous when he had a sight at goal.

Nah it's not. "Key pass" just means any pass to a player who then shot. Most of the time it's hardly what you'd describe as a key pass in normal terms.

largely meaningless stat

Not enough games played in 24/25 to produce one of these yet. But in the two league games he's conceded 3 goals from 1.9 PSxG which isn't very good. Obviously small sample size though.

You seriously don’t understand why it is impossible to mathematically analyse a football match in the same manner as a turn based board game? Lmao There is very finite set of possible moves each turn in a game of chess. Football doesn’t even have turns. Honestly this is one of the weirdest...

??? Chess has a finite number of moves/states. Football is infinite.

Obviously no single number is going to be able to accurately capture how a team performed over a whole game of football. But it is certainly very useful. I’d be interested why you think it isn’t.
