Surely it’s entertainment that you live in the moment and the eye test is all you need for whether something is deserved or not? as I say, I know I’m basically a dinosaur when it comes to appreciating the general use of stats at this level in football. Surely shots on or off target is enough? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely shots on or off target is enough? What if you didn't watch the match and want to have some context on the result? The 0-0 draw against Crystal Palace was a perfect example, looks poor but we were really fucking good at everything bar finishing. Shots on or off is such a simple stat, Rashford could have 25 of those shots where he scored from to be as likely to score as that one miss from Haaland in the first half. Then you see those 25 shots to 1 in the stats and think Man United have been fucking amazing. Edited March 3 by Pata Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely shots on or off target is enough? I think any normal person would agree that's not the best way to watch or understand football. It's just another layer to add onto your understanding. I don't usually even look at xG tbh, but i don't think having more metrics to understand trends is a bad thing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
