80 Posted September 28 Share Posted September 28 I'm not an Xg lover, but what do we reckon that chance would've scored on the index? I'd guess it wouldn't be more than about 0.3. Big opportunity, but not one you can't believe didn't go in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know how it's worked out, but I would think 50% chance of scoring or somewhere around there. A top player converts it more often than that I suppose.

gbandit Posted September 28 Share Posted September 28 I wouldn’t expect above 0.3. I was in the Gallowgate so didn’t have the best view but I’d say scoring from there isn’t that likely but getting it on target is what most good midfielders would have managed. If you’re going for a precision finish then it needs to be on target at least Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many players could walk onto a pitch and whip one far post past Ederson with their first touch? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heron Posted September 28 Share Posted September 28 (edited) I really like Sean Longstaff but thought he should have done better with the chance and not losing the ball when he did. Having said that I'm gonna now take my myself to the Fabian Schar thread to see if he is getting the same grief for his ridiculous Cruyff pass at 1-1. Longstaff isn't great but I absolutely get it if he is shiteing his pants every time he gets the ball at SJP. That may not be good enough for us, which is fair comment, but nonetheless- it's a very sad state of affairs that, that's how he feels.

gbandit Posted September 28 Share Posted September 28 That Cruyff pass was horrific. I don’t normally criticise the players when in the stands but after he did that I couldn’t stop myself shouting out loud “what the fuck are you doing man” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellis H Posted September 28 Share Posted September 28 Longstaff’s xG was 0.21. Barnes was 0.25 and Joelinton was 0.19 for comparison. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
huss9 Posted September 28 Share Posted September 28 i;m desperate for him to do well. he absolutely loves the club. but i think he may need to move on. after giving that ball away at the back he was was bright red for a few minutes. obvioulsy embarrassed and anxious. just dont think the self belief is there.

Displayname Posted September 28 Share Posted September 28 It isnt about how big a chance it was, but what he did with it having all the time and space in the world. If he made a decent shot that the keeper saved noone would complain. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d love to see more of Harvey just taking quick and early shots in positions where he’s near the goal, in the first half he tried to fizzle something across when he was approaching the 6 at the tight angle.

If you give away a few fouls, so be it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it not worth it just to sell for a fee instead losing for a free? What would you say is low? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
