Still disappointing

Yeah, the fact he got a ban for racism in the MLS put me off the potential signing when we were linked.

Doubt it. Think the wingers were a high priority given our lack of depth there, and evidenced by the players we were linked to and speed of the business. We’ll be more selective and considered with any further signings I think.

Context is key. Plenty of reasons to suggest our form is likely to improve now.

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 🤣
