I think if we were still owned by Ashley the forthcoming saga over who owns Liverpool would be the undoubted highlight of this season -

Weāre about as high in the league as we conceivably could be, the other surprise is Arsenal being above us and not Liverpool. Weāre six points behind and the two above us both have a game in hand. We were top for three months the season we signed Bellamy & Robert. That was a challenge for the title, this is a challenge for the top 4 only iyam

I use stats all the time. Just not xG. Itās utter bollocks, which am fairly sure you know but would never publicly acknowledge
-
As usual, youāre ascribing things to me that I havenāt said. I donāt tend to heavily criticise Newcastle players. At the start of the season I said Miggy would be very important to the side in terms of work rate etc away from home when others were criticising him . Youāre right, thereās no other way of describing his form at the moment other than a purple patch. But 6 goals in a month vs 1 goal last season doesnāt require a graph to come to that conclusion does it? I think it only even vaguely works for me when itās used in comparison ie Player A v Player B, but Dave has given me examples of this where Iāve come to the same conclusion as him without needing a slide rule The earlier example about Evertonās defence is interesting though, it suggests there should be some stats around that suggest old T Rexās form is improved from last season. Can you provide anything @The Fish??
-
Daveās ignored this so I looked it upā¦now, am no expert obviously, but it would appear to me that Miggys xG * has gone up this season by nearly 300% Well colour me flabbergasted⦠I think we can now officially call xG ācounting the number of goals scored ā https://understat.com/player/7420 * other stats are available which am sure are invaluable to football professionals. xG isnāt one of them though, itās just fuckin counting
-
Itās not, because me you and every other fucker on here arenāt paid to recruit players. Has Miggys xG gone up this month by any chance?ā¦
-
Ok Dave, Iāll be straight with you. Youāre not telling me, and havenāt done for months on end, a single thing I donāt know, havenāt observed with my own eyes or can logically work out for myself. Now can you just accept that xG is utter fuckin bollocks so we can just get on with our lives? Thanks & best regards The posters of Toontastic š

So why would the snapshot of one seasons stats suggest anything in the future? The naked eye would suggest the striker is missing chances. Did Miggys stats before the 1st October 2022 suggest this? I have a feeling they may have. Is that something we could see with our own eyes? Do the stats indicate that he was about to have a massive upturn in his finishing ability due to seemingly intensive and specialised coaching? ā¦
-
Can you predict a playerās potential with subjective data of what a player has done previously? Or is the data literally a snapshot? One thing stats fail to take account of properly is the opposition. A players figures are skewed by the quality heās playing against. Useful for a myriad of things undoubtedly, but they donāt tell the whole story. And never willā¦
