    xG is the most pointless measure......

    Posted by Lol on 26/12/2023, 17:13:51


    At half time the xG was 0.6 for Sheeffu and 0.4 for luton.
    At full time the xG was 2.9 for shef u and 0.5 for luton......

    Statistical bollocks then....

      There is one measure, and one only, in football that matters. How many goals did we score v how many goals did they score. Nothing else matters - not % possession, not shots taken, not shots on target or all the other shite they can measure these days.
      Some modern stats are vital in terms of recruitment (recovery time, ground covered, speed over 40 metres etc.). The guff you see at the end of the match? No value at all…

      It measures exactly what it's supposed to measure you moron. It's not supposed to predict the result.

        So exactly what is it accurately telling us?

          The xG what do you think it's telling you.

          You know like when you say "Good chance should of scored that"

            How does your explanation become a figure?
            How does that then equate to 0.5?
            What is the calculation to arrive at that figure?
            Where did this calculation come from, don't remember it from a few years ago.

        Considering two of our goals were scored by Sheff Utd, probably not.

        And I have no idea how the second wasn't ruled out for a foul on Robinson.

          Really?

          Like the officials and commentators I didn't see much wrong there.

            If that goes to VAR with Osho hanging off him like that it gets ruled out, simple as that.

              All goals go to VAR, that will have been checked.

                Then I guess I'm genuinely astonished.

                Albeit completely and utterly unbothered. Given the shit we've not been given and had given against us.

                And a tiny, tiny, tiny amount of bias.

                  Indeed. But I really didn't think there was anything in it. Will have to watch it again.

                  Unless you're just biased because he was shorter than Osho .

                i thought it was being checked, if it was and they came to that conclusion...

                  Obviously, I didn't see a single thing wrong with it but I might be a little biased.

                        If it is I'm astonished that was allowed to stand, given what some have been ruled out for.

                      Six of one, half a dozen of the other. Hands all over Osho's shirt.

                        Never a foul on Robinson. But shouldnt have been a Luton corner in first place.

                          It was never a corner. But it was absolutely a free kick. Donut should even have been a free kick tonus or a goal kick to them. He gave a corner instead. Surprised VAR didn't intervene.

                            Don't think VAR gets involved in decisions like a wrong way corner or throw ins.
