So Anjorin had been battling covid. No wonder yesterday was his first appearance.

Yeah... She was the one that scored the first goal
Actually, at a certain time all Australian players started giving her ball just to do something (superstar things) but USA were really closing down on her
I trust her to get at least one. cool

Seems Ziyech has started finding his feet...the wizard has been balling since this preseason started.

IMO, the academy youngsters that impressed the most in this preseason are Chalobah, Broja and Sterling.

I'm a bit surprised at the number of people who are against signing Lukaku, and not because of the price.

He's a lot more refined, and his all round game has improved drastically. There's more than just pace and power to Lukaku's game now

Adekuoroye loss weak me sha...these wrestling rules can be harsh.

Imagine leading 8-0, only to lose by pinfall.

And she had been bodying her opponent in their previous meetings...10-0, 10-0, 10-0...

From an 8-0 lead to a pinfall loss.

Lol... Thank you.
Exactly what I wanted to explain to him especially that Assist and xA, but thank goodness you did justice to that
Apparently, my comparison was flawed because I used fullbacks and Mount is not a fullback.

I'm happy too, advantage for high pressing team but I still have my reservations concerning it. Who determines the "marginally offside"? This will allow ojoro to set in. There will be a lot of discrepancies, some decisions will be considered marginally offside for team A while it may be overlooked for team B, this marginally offside should be thoroughly spelt out.
Hmmm...fair point here. Unless they set a threshold for 'marginal offsides'. They may do so sha. Maybe there will be a stipulated range for an offside to be called 'marginal'. They can just find the right measurement scale and measure the distance between the line of the attackers and the line of the defender - if it exceeds the threshold, then it will no longer be seen as marginal.

Dunno sha, let's look.

And secondly, which one is "why are you people putting Mount among the attacking midfielders at Chelsea "?

Is he a left wingback? Or does he play for Kano Pillars?

Let us criticise, but let us be guided undecided

Havertz10:

Let me show you something

Assist are the number of assists a player gets, xA are expected assists, meaning the possibility of the chances he creates becoming a goal

If you look at the chart below, you will see that most players outperform their expected assists, only mount underperforms his expected assists with a large percentage, because most of the chances he created last season were poor chances and more than half are freekicks and corner kicks chances
Allow me halt you there, chief.

Expected assists is basically the likelihood that a player's pass, or the chance hr creates, will result in a goal. Basically same definition you gave. But I think your interpretation is wrong.

If a player under performs his expected assists, it doesn't necessarily mean the chances he created were poor.

Look at this comparison between TAA and Robbo.

Both created 41 chances from open play in 2019/20, and Robertson had 10 assists to TAA's six (open play). But Robbo had an xA of 4.9, while TAA had an xA of 7.1. So Robbo grossly outperformed his xA, while TAA underperfformer his. Does this mean Robbo is creating more high quality chances than TAA, whom is supposedly creating low quality chanced based on your logic?

No.

By contrast, the fact that TAA has a higher xA than Robbo with both having created same number of chances, shews that Robbo is the one creating the more 'difficult' chances, and TAA is 'unlucky' not to have more assists to his name. 7.1 to 4.9 means TAA was expected to have more assists than Robbo based on the type and quality of passes he played and chances he created!

So the fact that Mount underperforms his xA doesn't necessarily mean he doesn't create Hugh chances, or he creates more poor chances and chances from set pieces. It means, simply, that Mount should have had more assists than he actually had, based on the type and quality of passes he played and chances he created. He, like TAA in the above analysis, is unlucky not to have more assists to his name.

In short, you are indirectly cutting him some slack cheesy

These images should help explain the analysis.

I like these...especially the first one. Chalking off a goal because a player was marginally offside by his toe or armpit, is ridiculous undecided

Not necessarily. Nigerian athletes always tire out as the race progresses as they don't have the sports science to work on speed endurance.

Given Adegokes build - short, overly muscular, those athletes have explosive starts but start to fade after 40m
Your physique description just reminded me of a Secondary school classmate...short and muscular.

Wasn't the fastest over 100m or 200m, but was usually amongst the medalist and he always dominated from 400m above. They ran 1500m one time, this guy ran round the track twice and halfway through the third lap, he shouted "HUSTLE!" and immediately boosted his pace by like 40%. Really conserved energy well. And his pace prior to that was decent enough to keep him comfortably in the lead. When he finished, most of the others hadn't finished the third lap grin
