Breaking records/stats thread

[Chris in London]

Because sports statisticians like to compare apples with apples - you can knock our points total down to 2 points for win if you like. Liverpool would be slighly better with that measure as we could only equal their 78-79 record by winning at Southampton. That's why win% and points% of the maximum points to take are preferred measures of all time greatness.

My whole point is that it isn’t comparing apples with apples because one is a 42 game season and the other is a 38 game season. Converting out 3 points for a win into 2 points doesn’t address that difference it just replicates it.

How can that possibly be a like for like comparison? Wouldnt the true like for like comparison be to multiply Liverpool’s 1978 points total by 38/42? Or to multiply our points total by 42/38? A points percentage doesn’t really give a like for like comparison.

Same goal difference for us as points in second again. Madness

So the points margin record is back in our own hands.

Given that Yaya is soon to be no longer of this parish, perhaps the crowd could turn its attention to crying 'shoot' whenever Ederson has the ball.

Not being picky, but have they measured every goalie drop kick in every match ever played !?!?
