Match Thread | Manchester City v. Al Hilal (CWC) 01/07/25

[Eccles Blue]

Their manager man needs a haircut!

 

[samuelyeboah]

can we win ANY aerial dual whatsoever

 

[Pablo ZZZ Peroni]

Onana conceded 2.2 more than expected. Ederson 4.3 more.

Looking at his data in the league alone for 24/25 (26 games only) on fbref:
(stats based on keepers with >10 apps)

2nd - Goals conceded p90
1st - Clean sheets p90
!st - Assists (4 is a mad stat)
1st - Pass completion % by some distance for long ball launches (> 40 yards)
1st - Sweeping/defensive actions p90
1st - for highest positive "post shot xG"

Post-shot xG effectively assesses the difficulty of shots faced on where they actually ended up. Based on this metric he saved over 5 more goals than the his post shot xG and the best in the league.

For context allison was +9 in his best season a couple of seasons back but +3 for 24/25.

 

[jollylescott]

This is so typical of last season. Slow side to side passing

 

[Citizen of Legoland]

Jammy buggers

 

[Gordyola]

Nico Gonzalez looks pissed off and rightly so

 

[FromPollockToSilva]

Good to see the Match Thread back to its “best” in the second half

 

[TinFoilHat]

Last minute winner in this.

However, I don't know for who.

 

[I'm Blue]

We should be out of sight.

 

[noseve]

The substitutions look to have put us back 6 months. Stark contrast to the first half, runners everywhere

 

[WallyA]

How did we not score...

 

[RobinHood]

Nearly.....

 

[5 Hit Gibbon]

That was close.

 

[Wretched Vengeance]

Christ, thought that was in.

 

[MCFC1993]

Big chance.

Crosses are the chance, they can't defend them for shit.

 

[super_city_si]

Fuucckkk. Score there

 

[urban genie]

oooh that was close

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

Goal line tech says no, but I'd love to see that again...

 

[samuelyeboah]

STOP HIDING IN THE BACKPOST

 

[HypnoticBlue]

How’s that not gone over the line ffs
