xG (and the resulting XPoints) is a really good underlying stat to determine how a team/player is performing. This is predominantly what bookies use to price markets initially).

There are outliers, but usually, the X stats are more accurate than things like possession, number of shots, passes etc in determining how well a team has played.

This is a good link to see the stats vs the reality of the table.

You enjoy it. I think it's utter garbage. Other opinions are available.

3 ambulances together behind the stand, looks like the City defence has arrived

 

[Addemannen]

Do you think Rico will start?

 

[Stoned Rose]

So football god , tell me what you would’ve done differently ?

“Football god” :)

State the bleeding obvious but the result is everything today and don’t care how we achieve it.A 90th minute deflected winner via Kyle’s todger would suffice.
A good performance would be the cherry.

We gotta be beating this lot, our defence might be bad but this lot are diabolical

We can’t even beat Everton at home, we were lucky to scrape a draw.

Do you think Rico will start?
