Would she even need to be alive?

It's not analysts I object to it's the deification of xG statistics. They are rarely accurate which makes them pretty pointless. You like them, I don't.

Maybe Pep has sacked the previous analysts because of their insistence in using xG statistics. Maybe we are looking for someone who doesn't value xG statistics because that's what the club needs.

So when Pep says statistics are overrated you claim that he is wrong? And I am making a fool of myself? Obviously you know better than the best manager our club has ever seen. You just bristle with supreme arrogance.

Are you referring to me or Pep?

I will take Pep's word at face value. I care what he says. If you don't believe him that's your choice. I reckon that he's achieved more in football than you so really there's no contest.

Pep has said that the use of statistics is overrated. I agree with him. Why don't you contact Pep and ask him to explain himself more clearly?

I'm not Asian.

Why do you think Pep said the players today play for the statistics but this is the biggest mistake they can do?

No you don't get it. He left Bayern 10 years ago. He's moved on. Do you think he's a liar?

This is a direct quote from Pep: “Always we talk about the statistics – the players today play for the statistics but this is the biggest mistake they can do,” he said. “We’re involved in that. Statistics are just a bit of information that we have but there are players that make the team play...

Interesting that not one of you xG advocates have responded to the Huddersfield and Nottingham Forest discrepancies posted above? Why? Because you can't explain it so instead you resort to personal attacks. Am I bothered? Stupid weirdo dinosaur? Me? One thing I would never do is look up the...

Troll? For having a different opinion than you? Pathetic. And my first pet's name was Kerry if that's of any use to you.

But have you got any statistics to back that up or are you just another xG blagger? Just make up your facts to back up your argument. This is the modern Trumpian style of debate. The alternative is that you have to be as thick as mince to support xG statistics.

Not embarrassed in the slightest. Read the following extract from Sports Gazette UK: "According to their xG, Huddersfield Town should have finished in 16th, compared to the third-place finish they achieved. The data shows that they managed to win 10 more games than their expected goals suggest...

Strange that half of Pep's coaching staff have left the club during the close season. Any statistical system that simply dismisses results that don't fit the narrative is less than useless. Why have City gone backwards in the last 12 months since xG is the dog's bollocks? Have Liverpool and...

I know exactly what xG is about. It uses subjective data and presents it as hard objective scientific fact. It's about as credible as Scientology and anyone who rates it is as thick as a brick xG is just made up you thick prick.
