Header from couple of yards out on the 50th minute was 0.64.

https://x.com/markstatsbot/status/1777048776420851848?s=46 I can’t remember how the expected threat is calculated but you are up on that a lot. Possession, crosses, touches in the box etc. most likely.

I didn't watch your match but just by looking at the shot chart, Johnson missed a 0.84 chance early on but after that you only have two shots above 0.10 (and they were only 0.11xG both). So lots of shots but only one had significant xG. And obviously not getting anything for the own goal. Nottingham had Wood's three big chances (0.65xG, 0.64xG and 0.39xG which he scored) and some long range efforts with low xG.

There are fractions on Understat and it's tough to get the full 3. This is all my own thinking but I think they take the xG data and simulate the outcome thousands or hundreds of thousands times and see how the points would divide in a really long run. Like the Liverpool match today, it should be close to full 3 on expected points (and eyetest) but somehow Man Utd are really fucking lucky and got a point for that battering so they gave Liverpool 2.92 and Man United 0.05 (?).

Looking at a recent example, Liverpool were given 2.92 points today so it's really tough to get the full three. Variance can be fun.

Have no idea what's going on here. Have a nice night!

I'm laughing at you sir.

I thought it was obvious and was wondering what the sign was for Dubs to go down.

No, some people were criticizing Howe for not putting Krafth at CB (??). Tino LB, Burn LCB, Schär RCB, Krafth RB was the backline after the Lascelles injury. Are you commenting on a match you didn't see?

Burn has been much better at LCB in this short stint than Botman had been since his return from the injury. That's honestly the main change for these couple of games.

17 minutes and the match was 1-0 to us when he moved to CB.

The stats are from a two game sample size that conveniently cuts out the three goals conceded against West Ham ffs.

I would guarantee we would be even more solid if we had BDB at LB and BDB at LCB simultaneously. Putting any improvement down to not having him at LB is disrespecting him badly. Very happy that he's done so well at CB though, makes things a lot simpler in the summer window.

He's been fine at LB too despite the mass hysteria. Had a poor 10 minutes against fresh Bailey and then poor games against Luton and Nottingham but that's pretty much it.

If he was injured when he stole the ball and got kicked, it definitely only looked like a knock and hopefully nothing more serious. He's searching for his form but we simply need every player possible to just be available for this stretch.

Hard-fought 1-0 away win with half the squad missing and you are speculating if Howe has lost the players? Fucking desperate to have a whinge.

It's a garbage system, think the on-field ref has gone against VAR only once or twice in the PL after going to the monitor. Baffles my mind why the ref can't be called there (or go there by himself as he's not sure about his decision) and make a decision based on what he sees from the replays. You could tell the ref today wasn't keen about disallowing that goal but went with the easy decision ie. follow the protocol.

Aye. He was class after the injury but definitely below his usual standards and gifted them their best chance from absolutely nothing.

Schär was imperious despite the massive Bramble moment? Thought Burn was imperious, especially after some posters said he can't play CB at all.

GTFI!!!!!!!

Looked even less like a foul from the other angle, never enough to chalk off a goal.

Never a foul

Fuck off

Murphy has been a legit 1/10 today, 1 for arriving at the right stadium.
