What makes you think I don’t know if he’s any good when I specifically chose to talk about a relatively esoteric player? He’s one of the few hard working center mids who has the technique and vision to make a case for playing in a better top PL team

Fabinho should be fine, he just had a cramp at the end of the supercup match.

are you taking them seriously? or is this some meta posting because they're being made exactly to make people (usually Scousers) seethe. So you're either a scouser in which case you're seething or you're NOT a scouser in which case it is even worse and you're seething on their behalf, come on lad.

Andrew Myers
M'tip is unironically way better than Gomez.
Asher Barnes
Gomez is the reason the team struggled so badly against Chelsea. Playing him at RB meant that there was no support for Salah on the wings the way Trent would, which forced Henderson out onto the wing, which gave Kante free reign in the middle of the park to just rip Liverpool apart. Gomez and VVD had a crazy good partnership before his injury, but Matip is clearly the better CB right now.

Mason Sanchez
But shot and shots on target are pretty clear cut at what they do. xG however is not.
Ryan Foster
what they describe*
Brandon Gray
No, what xG does is clear. You just don't understand, that's your own problem.
Gabriel Walker
can I just say I’ve always rated Potter
Tyler Jenkins
>You I'm say this is why people in general don't like it. Also explain what it does and how.
Carson Rogers
oh my unexpected goal on the statsheet, going to have to confiscate it from the scoreline
Alexander Allen
It tells you how many goals on average the team should have scored given the quantity and quality of chances they had.
Jaxson Rivera
How does that take defensive tactics into account, or is it just shots/shots on target in a novelty form?
Carter Cox
I'm not triggered, I'm a big fan of xG. I was just posting it to demonstrate the large disparity in this game
Sebastian Morris
This may be the only time you've been completely right.
Daniel Turner
and the metric they use is perfect?
In its simplest terms, xG assigns a score to each chance, representing the likelihood of that chance resulting in a goal. It takes in all the factors you'd imagine when assessing the quality of a chance. For example - a shot from a central position will have a higher xG amount than a header, or a shot from out wide. We're not looking at these chances based on the player they fall to. But we can use xG data to assess - if not the quality of a player - their sustainability.
Justin Kelly
>b-b-b-but how could they sack a black manager????
Jackson Rivera
xG is shit because it's a composite stat that has to take all the factors and calculate an average game from them most xg stats only take into account the place on the pitch
Ayden Reed
People rated Potter at Ostersunds, especially after the games against Arsenal. For him to almost take a gutted Swansea squad to the play-offs was remarkable.
>people STILL don't remember that Hughton can't do second seasons in the PL
Samuel Foster
think you lot are punching currently definitely not going to get relegated though which is cool
Julian Anderson
Seems really unnecessary.
Thomas Rivera
Why are you posting here instead of going out tonight shagging slags?
Blake Reed
>and the metric they use is perfect? Of course not, what a stupid question. Why would it be perfect?
It's also shit because while it's a composite stat, different people can still produce different values, based on how heavily they weight each individual stat that goes into it
Gabriel Johnson
it kinda is tbqh it has it's places but I don't personally look at it too hard
William Baker
>s-s-shouldve You shouldve lost your virginity years ago but youre a tiny gremlin faggot
Hudson Powell
fucking eboue
Jackson Walker
haha quiet night in with the gf tonight lad
Nathaniel Stewart
Enjoy being shot.
Mason Myers
like shots on target the stat represents the exact shots on target... xG is an equation and it needs more work before it should be shilled this hard tbqh
Jose Baker
DONT TELL ME WHAT DO DO
Thomas Williams
yes, people don't like it because it only tells you "on average, a game like this would finish with a score 3.43 - 0.23" and people don't want to hear that
Hudson Campbell
They attempt different things. Shots on target tells you what happened. xG tells you what should have happened.
Charles Miller
>yfw united somehow win on monday night and go top
Juan Sullivan
So happy to see the boys playing some decent football for the first time in a couple of years. Hope this season goes well for everyone.
How many (subjectively) clear cut chances City really had ?
Landon Lewis
Yes? It tells you on average how many goals a team should have scored. It's the definition of xG.
Logan Turner
when was the last time your lot even had such a positive minded attitude?
poyet?
Nathan Bailey
The promotion season was a very positive year all round. Other than that, probably not since they finished 4th in the Championship under Poyet.
Joshua Bell
holy fuck xg is a measure of roughly how likely a professional is to score from a given chance if you have a brainless nigger like raheem 'black power' sterling on the end of chances obviously xg isn't going to apply
Leo Wilson
is there a stat for expected injuries and missed games throughout the season
Kayden Allen
the one issue I have with Hughton is he just cannot seem to cope with a second season in the PL
it happened at norwich and it happened at brighton
it's crazy
Nathaniel Williams
That's the problem though, it doesn't say how likely a player is to score, it says how likely the average player is to score from that position. Well shit, some players are better than average at scoring goals.
Wyatt Watson
but people use different weights so it's kinda flawed it's tell you on avereage how many goals they should have scored according to the person weighing the stats
Joseph Evans
enjoy Leandro Trossard lad. I watched him tear up my local club once, what a player
>but people Afaik it is defined by "football experts" from OPTA based on past data. It is subjective and flawed? all models are, all they have to do is being good enough.
Aiden Bailey
>It is subjective and flawed? and now you see why people don't like it cheers lad.
>Marcel Koller missed today's cup game after getting into an accident while cycling, breaking his collar bone and dislocating his shoulder What's up with Basel and weird injuries right now?
Jayden Carter
I know you're excited but you've mentioned him so many times it's like you're obsessed
Samuel Hill
Yeah, but the xG are just a starting point. Once you got the number you should ask "why is reality different"
Jeremiah Sullivan
new
Robert Brown
Chances created is subjective. Possession is subjective and can have different definitions.
Not even goal scored is completely objective, considered how the definition of own goal changed.
