Yeah, prefer this to a same priced LB coming in. Trippier is old and injury to him would be a disaster.

Trust Howe and Ashworth bro, you claim you know more about his fitness than them?

Absolutely. I might seem angry but I'm not angry at Barnes, think he's a solid signing that's available for a decent fee but would feel a lot more comfortable if we could've kept ASM too. More angry at what I read about ASM here by so many posters but it's a fight I'll never win and wish I didn't care at all.

Could possibly sneak this into few more threads for max exposure.

Yeah, that's why I said we need it for FFP reasons and not cash flow reasons.

Think we need if for FFP, not cash flow.

Just out of interest, were you one of the people who thought Bruce was doing a better job than Rafa?

YEEEEEEHAAAAAAAWWWWWW HAAARVEEEYYYY BAAAARNEEEES!!!!!!!!

No shit!

Alright, think we have to call it quits here. Good evening!

You need video evidence for expected assists but you are completely fine using just assists as a metric without video?

Jesus fucking christ.

Are you incapable of opening the image in my post or should I use more colours?

They dropped in form last season but were finishing inhumanly well until last season. He gets assists but 0.14 expected assists per 90 in a big sample size is nothing to get excited about.

Two strikers is enough in a one striker formation. Joelinton or Gordon probably plays up top in case of emergency.

Why are we wasting time here in a football forum discussing football when everyone could just repeat the 'trust Howe and Ashworth' line? This take is becoming a pet hate of mine tbh.

I would say 100% RB, maybe LB in a massive emergency.

*until he had to shoot.

I'm happy to help highlighting the double standards of N-O. Would also be really happy with Livramento and Chiesa if they are fit now.

Happy if selling this sicknote allows us to scoop Livramento, Tierney and Chiesa. Bunch of fit lads all of them.

4.48 expected WHICH WAS MY POINT.

0.14 per 90 expected assists and much of that has been with a really good Vardy as the xA column shows.

I just think that one season of struggling with injuries is a lot about variance too. I also wouldn't say that his play style in previous seasons was exactly easy on his hamstrings either, tons of sprints and stop-starting.

Do you have data how much he played in the season before that?

What was inconsistent about his 21-22?
