Walker only played 9 for them. Vast majority of them were partnered with Godden although occasionally one of them played wider in a 4-3-3

It's a deliberate tactic from opponents & a difficult one to counter. They put players directly in front of the goalkeeper, we naturally decide we need to mark said players & all of a sudden there's upto half a dozen bodies a keeper needs to get through if he is to claim the cross. Couple that...

Nope, sorry, doesn't work like that here. He's either £15m or waste of a wage silly.

Watford, Sheffield Wednesday, Birmingham?

I looked at that earlier when we were talking about his chances. He's a CB so not overly surprising that he's not achieving his xG but definitely should have scored by now. Of course he practically did vs Rotherham but was given as an own goal. One thing that really stands out though is the...

I tell you what I've realised playing some of the old Mega Drive games etc. is how bone crushingly difficult some of them are! I know my reactions etc will have slowed nowadays but wow... Especially with no save games etc.

Jeeeez. There's wildly optimistic & then there's that. Huge increase for Hyam!? Based on what exactly?? 🤣

Because it's sensible to at least give him a chance first. I still think he's a decent player & could have a decent career, Østigard is lauded on here as having pedigree based on his performances in Germany where Gyökeres was equally as good. If he didn't have talent a top team like Swansea...

Not trying to diminish at all, you haven't clearly explained, hence why almost everyone is replying with questions. Happy to admit I'm silly but no, I don't understand & don't think I'm alone in that. Here's my points to what you've said there. Walker's chance was incredibly difficult. You...

I don't think anybody is sure what point you're trying to make anymore. Walker had one incredibly difficult chance, missed it. Biamou had 3 easier ones & missed them all no? Both strikers were marshalled well by a team with the best defensive record in the country. Guehi, probably the best...

And he smiled once at Arsenal

You honestly think that's a "very good chance"? 😳 Dropping high out of the sky, over his shoulder for a volley on his weaker side from an acute angle!? Biamou had 3 chances, all easier than that, yet he missed the lot, as he does most games, hence the comparison. Yes, McFadzean's chance is...

What do you think the xG of such a chance is? i.e. What percentage of the time is an identical chance actually scored?

What sitters has Walker missed?

9 His Shots on Target % is just 23% Ranks 18th out of 21 players for us in Shots on Target % Bear in mind even shots like his trickle straight to the goalkeeper last night count as a Shot on Target too. It's a woeful record.

Godden is overperforming his too.

Here's a fun one. Biamou has had 39 shots this season. How many do you reckon were On Target?

This. It's a really difficult tactic to defend against but we need to do better as a team, too easy to blame the goalkeeper there when he's massively limited by the bodies in front of him.

Was one of my favourites whilst he was here but unfortunately no. He's 36 now & misses far too many games to justify the salary he'd likely want.
