For someone called Pata, your conversation is shite XG is just one way to say Man City have dominated. Would you prefer if I said goal attempts are 21-2 without any context of how good the chances have been? And what the fuck does the nickname of my local ice hockey team have to do with my patter skills? Edited March 3 by Pata Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thing is, everyone expected Sheff Utd to be terrible as they sold all their best players before the season started, one of which was to Burnley. Burnley spent a fortune to be just as bad as Sheff Utd Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

brummie Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 8 hours ago, RodneyCisse said: Any idea what this might look like? Asking as I think it’s the first with our the grealish wiggle room? Well, we moved Archer, A Ramsey, Azaz and Philogene, all home grown, on for a total of 42m or so, and then there was Chukwuemeka for 20m, so that's 60m+ of home grown sales to at least create some room. Ings we got 15 back for, too, so we do do a fair bit of selling as well as buying. Zaniolo, I am 99% sure, we will not take up the option to buy on, so that's 22m or so 'unspent' but on the whole, we have the same problem you do - there's plenty of money available to spend, but we can't spend it because of FFP. I dunno, though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pata Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 Honestly struggle with the fume some people have with xG, it's just another stat that's usually way better than the old ones although not perfect. Fucking cavemen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's weird, when Luton basically said at the start of the season they wouldn't spend stupid money to try and stop up, and instead would use the money from this season plus the parachute money to build what they really need - a new stadium - it felt like they'd given up from the off, but then on extra thought, it looked surprisingly sensible. Only for them to now go on and look like they are having a proper go at it. Sheffield United are absolutely shit, though. They haven't even tried and have no excuse for it. Also re Luton, I hope they stay up for Rob Edwards who is, like you and me, toon25, a Villa fan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fucking cavemen. Its overuse is my biggest problem with it. In isolation it's a decent stat, like shots, possession etc, but it often becomes a lazy way of analysing a game. It's also generally misused. Particularly hate the phrase "they're over-performing their xG" as if it's a negative trait, when an alternative way of phrasing that would be "they have signed players that are clinical in front of goal" (and the opposite for "underperforming xG"). It's a decent way of identifying how creative a team is, but fails to reflect some of the most important aspects of the game (errors from the opponents, wonder goals, individual quality etc).
