If I remember correctly, early on last season we were performing about par with our XG against but underperforming XG for. I’d imagine that is a lot easier to correct.

And that’s why, on a game-by-game basis it’s not hugely useful. It’s the equivalent of saying we’re now in excellent form because we won the last game 4-0.

It’s frustrating. On an individual level I don’t really have a problem with any of the signings bar Kitching (only due to the fee) but as a collective it’s been pretty turgid squad building exercise.

Hangovers.

Binks doesn’t have a future at CB. I’m still intrigued by him at LB but I’d imagine it’ll never happen now.

Fucking Jesus. Take that keeper round the back of the stand and shoot him.

Get that fucking traffic cone out of goal.

Snowflake.

Only to be found on the off-topic board making banal points about ‘woke’? Oh, sorry, different Como.

Wright has looked pants at RW whenever he’s played there. EMC has also looked pants at RW whenever he’s played there. Now, I will caveat that by saying when both have played in that position we’ve played a more conservative style, so it’s possible that with more bodies around them it may work...

You’re interacting with someone who doesn’t have the courage of his convictions to explain why he feels a Trump presidency is of benefit to the US/the wider world. Don’t expect coherence.

To be honest the best way to tell best/worst finishers is their difference between XG and XGOT. Can’t find any data that immediately shows this though.

Yeah but I’m not doing that for 50 players.

Any way to filter it to ‘per 90 mins’?

By the law of averages one of them must be good. Buy the whole squad.

Note that some others have thrown the name in already, but if Casadei was available for loan that could be an interesting one. Would imagine he could play any of the roles in our midfield setup.

And with EMC also contributing with back-post runs it is definitely something we’re concentrating on.

Can’t imagine the train times would be pleasant trying to get to Saudi and back between Christmas and New Year.

Thing with Rudoni specifically is that now we’re playing with a single pivot in midfield it means both midfielders are committing to attacks more. Think about Torp’s miss v WBA - how many times in recent years have 2 of our centre mids been effectively on the goal line in an open play move?

I did wonder whether we’d maybe signed the wrong winger. Poku seems to be having a lovely old time of it this season and at 23 you’d imagine quite a lot of improvement to come.
