More terrorist sympathizers. Football players don join the list

camri:
I thought they are at par per technical abilities

camri:
is foden better than palmer?

nihilistjnr:
I cant help feeling like Pep made a huge mistake with Palmer. I guess Ice Cold was a victim of Grealish being a senior man in the dressing room, and that has cost City the chance to have Palmer, Foden and Silva behind Haaland.

Maybe Pep felt it would be too many lefties. Or maybe Palmer and Foden might want to occupy the same spaces on the pitch.

Either way their loss has been our tremendous gain.

I just realised that you previously replied to my last message.

He didn't have better goal per minute ratio than Jackson. Please fetch the numbers. I am happy to be corrected.

Jackson even missed a full month with the squad from AFCON. He would have scored more.

The problem is you misunderstand the whole premise of the debate. It comes down to two important factors.

1. No one is saying that Jackson is better than Vlahovic. At least, not at this point. But statistically, at this moment, no one can tell me that Vlahovic is better than Jackson. Jackson plays is a pacier league, Vlahovic does not. While Vlahovic is trying to adjust to the pace, Jackson already registered 13, and even missing a ton of chances.

2. In terms of value for money, based on last year's figures, Jackson was significantly the better buy. Jackson cost £30m and produced 13 non-penalty goals. Vlahovic would have cost nearly £90m. If he's not scoring 39 goals by comparison per season, then it's wasted money.

It does not matter what Juve would or would not do. I was here in Drogba's first 2 seasons. You should see the abuse. Juve would not have bought Drogba off his first season performance.

BlueMann:
Even in terms of stats, there is no suggestion that Palmer "wasn't even close" to Foden. In fact, Palmer trumps him in quite a number of areas. Judging by eye test or stats, that notion is ludicrous

Godx:
Stop embarrassing yourself. It's becoming obvious you know nothing. From maths to basic reasoning.

BlueMann:
You people exaggerate too damn much. Palmer created more chances per game and created more big chances (17-11), played more through balls, had better take on success. How can you say that Palmer wasn't even close to Foden in terms of performance?

Godx:
Your maths teacher need to be flogged.

Amoto94:
According to supercomputer prediction Liverpool was tipped to win the league by 86pts at some point this season (even as recent as April) but we all know that City are the champions. So, what does this tell you about all these xgs and other fugazi metrics? Na the end result matter not what xg tells u.

Godx:
You are just demonstrating you have problem with maths. How do you think expected earnings will be calculated if you don't earn anything that will make you richer than Elon. xG of 0.8 already proves penalties are easy. Whatever else you are arguing has no foundation to stand on.

Godx:
How do you think the expected earnings will be calculated lol. Bro you are fighting with basic maths. A pk has an xG of 0.8 which means 80% out of 100 it goes earn.

Godx:
Then you don't understand the meaning of xG.

Vischy:
Man was blaming Palmer for being too good in scoring penalties, forgetting even Messi and Ronaldo miss penalties too on crucial occasions.

Godx:
Players missing an empty net doesn't mean they are not easy goals to scores. The shot with the the highest Xg in football are penalties. Since when is maths that difficult to understand.

Godx:
Foden has 19goals and 8 assists with zero penalties.

Palmer had 22goals and 11assists with 9 penalties. This notion that Palmer was even close to Foden in terms of performance should die a natural death.

oliverano:


More like Pep Guardiola and Co

Meanwhile, have you noticed that every Chelsea player is always better than other players when compared individually but not great as a collective or when it's time to show winnings.

For instance, Palmer is better than Foden, Fofafa is better than Ake, James is better than Walker. Yet in another argument, Sterling is a world class player helping Pep to dominate EPL. Same world class Sterling came to Chelsea and became the most hated and top class flop.

Then they claimed the players at city are doing well because of the system created by Pep, yet Pep is a fraud #Fraudiola!

nateevs:
The problem was entirely tactical, not the players. The current squad is good enough to finish 2nd or 3rd minimum.

Griffon:
You want your manager to challenge the two best gaffers in the country and you’re thinking of Ikenna? Ikenna that doesn’t even have the chutzpah to challenge his elder brother Emeka over their piece of land close to the stream?

Misplaced priority!
