[urban genie]

bar their 10 minute spell at the start of the 2nd we should be about 6 goals clear of them

 

[city2]

Silva has taken great corners tonight pity we haven’t scored from them

 

[Legal Alien]

Erling's struggling, get him off Pep

 

[Cuban heels]

Motm Cancelo !

 

[super_city_si]

How many subs can you make? They’ve made what seems like 7

 

[I'm Blue]

Haaland has been fucking abysmal.

Missed 2 from 2 yards out.

Awful.

He’s scored and could’ve had 2 assists.

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

Still no subs?

Er...

 

[pennblue]

Another corner... Finish something boys

 

[jimharri]

Still no subs?

Yep; 3 of them. Are you watching the game?

We have let them have two of ours as we aren't using them!

 

[Eccles Blue]

Time for Phil Foden Pep

 

[Coatigan]

Pep ffs mate

 

[roach3]

We look knackered

 

[pudge]

Stop putting Akanji there

 

[HelloCity]

Dunno, that toenail offside is something we usua;;y suffer plus Bernardo's goal would have been ruled out in the PL.... simply because we're City.

It was factually offside.

 

[bluestevei]

Halland should of put his laces thru that shot when the ball came back off bar post not flick it

 

[SWP's back]

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.

Yeah I’m calling out that 1st for post shot xG

Bottom 25% for saves and only the 53 percentile for PSxG-GA

 

[Big Yaya Wilko 12]

Akanji fucking reeks

 

[Dax777]

Subs!!!!

 

[Bluearmy]

No idea how Savinho is still on the pitch!!
