Newcastle United 1 - 1 Leeds United - 14/04/17 - Post-match deflation from pg 26


Recommended Posts

Cant wait to see Anita out of the team.

Odd you chose him when the likes of Dummett, Gouffran are on the pitch

Dummett has played well today tbf, Gouff other then the shot that hit the post has been a non-entity.

Was Hayden, wasn't it?

Does a shot have to be saved by the goalkeeper to count as being on target?

 

I don't think so. A defender clearing off the line would be from a shot on target for example.

 

I thought the same, but the stats from Sky said we'd only had one shot on target which is bollocks. Maybe it has to be stopped by the last player.

 

Must be the stats guy's off day.

 

When a shot goes in off a defender it's not necessarily an OG if the shot was on target anyway is another example. So the goaly is definitely not necessary.

That's wrong.

 

Is it?

 

My understanding is that if it deflects of a defender and the shot was original off target it's a OG. But if it deflects off him but was on target anyway the shot taker gets credit.

Worried we will lose this 1-0!!

 

No way

If Rafa keeps this lineup, then 1-1

If he brings on players that will run at their defenders, then  3-0

It's got to be stopped by the last man, whether that's a keeper or defender:

Shot on target

 

Any goal attempt that:

 

a)    Goes into the net

 

b)    Would have gone into the net but for being stopped by a goalkeeper's save

 

c)    Would have gone into the net but for being stopped by a defender who is the last man.

 

So match stats are even more misleading than I thought.

That's missing blocked by own player

So if a shot beats the keeper and is going in but there's two players on the line one slightly ahead of the other. The one slightly ahead of the last guy clears it from going directly in the goal. Is it on target still? Since it technically wasn't stopped by a defender who is the last man. ;D

Possibly the worst piece of football I've seen in many a year from Dum Dum.

 

In his head it was gonna be like that beautiful Robert assist at Blackburn back in the Bobby days. :lol:
