You clearly don’t understand it 🤣

It's a much better way to quantify chance creation than just looking at the number of shots taken or shots on target. Pundits and fans also tend to overestimate the likelihood of scoring for most chances, so having actual statistical data combats that bias. Because football is a relatively low...

There's quite a lot to not understand! That just makes me think you don't understand it even more :ROFLMAO: Why don't you explain your understanding of xg

Quite easily. I suspect you don't.

“I don’t understand it therefore it’s worthless”

I assume taking Rudoni off was planned to manage minutes, not a tactical decision. And Lampard might have wanted to see Esse play centrally.

Why does that make xg pointless 🤣 If xg always lined up with the actual score then it would actually be pointless

Yeah I don’t like saying it but I do think Saturday is a must win. A comfortable win would be monumental for fans and players in terms of nerves and confidence. A loss would be a bit of a nightmare. All magnified by it being Leicester of course.

Wright is now into confirmation bias territory with people watching him all game expecting a poor performance - most strikers will look poor when they don't score.

I suspect it was because Frank really didn't rate Simms (see: not playing him tail end of last season) so he wanted a better backup, given BTA was scoring regularly from other positions. I really don't think Bamford was being eyed to replace Wright - at that point Wright was one of the top...

Bamford was never coming in as the starting striker though was he

Yeah he was obviously trying to miss 🤦‍♂️

Doesn’t make sense since the US often call up championship players. And stinking out the championship will hardly secure him a prem move.

I do because my reaction to post ratio is elite

Half of you really don’t deserve to be supporters of a table topping club lmao Post slagging off our centre half after a game in which he was the only one of the first choice back 6 starting and the only goal we conceded was a half volley worldie 🤣

Today the game was incredibly slow, in other games he has struggled with a lack of time on the ball. Still not convinced he is ready for this level, but it was a decent game from him.

A month ago people wanted £20m+ for Wright and now it’s apparently our weakest position in the squad 😂😂😂

Gone off Evan Ferguson?

Haha so predictable that people are losing their heads Today was a decent outcome. Esse and Yang looked promising, no one got injured and we don’t have any more distractions from the league. Honestly the pace of the game was like a preseason friendly, felt like both teams knew it wasn’t the focus.
