City were chasing the game - they were always gonna be vulnerable to counter attacks...

Even if Kompany was there, i doubt if he alone woulda been able to single-handedly mark Willian & Hazard during a counter attack.

Elampiro..na you?

Kagawa10:
Which yeye tap in are you talking about? Apart from Pogba's cross in the Burnley and the Liverpool where he had to keep running for the header, what nonsense tap in are you talking about?

Abegi, don't let me vex for you this morning.

Funlordjnr:




This elamps and kagawa can't you both just enjoy this solid win in peace with the rest of us?



Haba! See them like married couple....

Kagawa10:
Exactly why there's a visual chart.. But do they show the visual chart for their clear-cut chances? Literally, the missed chances are read the same way the forward passes are read unless you view the visual charts.

.

Kagawa10:
I have asked you to list those 8 easy chances Ibra had missed so far but you've only listed few...

Kagawa10:
The truth is I've seen all the chances Ibra had and I've even put it to you to spell these chances out yet you kept bringing up Opta stats? How does this Opta determine its clear-cut chances?
!

Kagawa10:
It's like a player made a 5 yards forward pass to his compatriot who made a 15 yards forward pass to another mate but Opta would have us believe both made forward passes.

Abegi!

Kagawa10:
The thing is we should be grateful to Ibra because he makes those chances happen in the first place. Rashford wouldn't even bother about those nonsense.

Did you think Rashford/Aguero/Aubameyang would be contesting any of those aerial ball/mid air balls the team often launched into the opposition's box? Definitely not. As a matter of fact, I've seen Ibra made a lot of Valencia's average crosses look great which wasn't the case when Rashford/Rooney was leading the line last season.

Yes, Ibra has missed some chances but it has been grossly overstated. As far I'm concerned, he's created much more than those he's missed and has scored more difficult goals for us.

He simply contributes much more to the team. He's still the best at providing throughballs in the team and has been involved in majority of our chances. He created a lot against Burnley as well as the Stoke city match and in the Westham game etc. Even majority of Rashford's goals were fashioned out by Ibra.

As you already know, I like Rashford than Ibra but that doesn't mean I should be deluded in my reasoning. The reality is Ibra suits this kind of Mourinho's aerial style a lot more than Rashford. Not only that, his vision is also essential in our attacking play in the final third because we still don't have a major creative player in the team, don't be so deluded with the crosses and lofted balls the team often launched into the box!

elrony:
This Ibra sef... you can't play either martial or Mhki through?

Kagawa10:
Ibra had 9 shots taken from inside the penalty and Opta judged him to have missed 8 big chances, coincidence?

Abegi, I have better things to do with my time!

Kagawa10:
Rooney cross was no clear-cut chance. It was an aerial ball to the side of the net, not in front of goal. He would need some manoeuvring of the head before that can land inside the net.. In fact, he did justice to the ball but the keeper saved it. Ibra isn't a machine, take that to your brain. As if Rooney can even score that, he's not even as tall to reach that level.

The one against Watford isn't clear-cut per say. It was a defensive error by the Watford defenders and they promptly closed down Ibra before he could take a shot.

Kagawa10:
In fact, let's count these clear-cut chances Ibra had missed so far in the league.

One was missed against burnley after Pogba cross, the only other clear-cut Ibra had, was Mata's pass which was well saved by the keeper.

2 were missed against city (the one after Rashford's cross and the one blocked by Stones).

Only 1 clear-cut against Liverpool even though I don't think that one was actually quite clear-cut.

1 was missed against Watford after Rashford's cross. The other one was too far to his reach and the Watford keeper quickly made it to the ball before he could.

Against Stoke, the only clear-cut he had was double saved by the Stoke keeper. In fact, Pogba and Lingard's clear cut chances weren't even saved.

He didn't have any against Westham, majorities were air volley shots or difficult headed chances to boot. The one good ground shot he had was well blocked.

So, Elampiro do tell me these clear-cut you had imagined in your head.

How many does Ibra even get per game?

Ayam not undastadin!!

This is the second time you've stated the quoted. At first I thought someone hacked your account, but then you've repeated it. It's funny to me coz this point you made was the crux of the argument between Christine and I, and you supported her stance of giving Zlatan new contract instead of getting a younger quality striker. So why the sudden U-turn?


I'm glad every stat you quoted has placed Ibra at the top of goal squanderers. I didn't even read those stats to know Ibra has squandered more goals than any striker on EPL. When I was against giving Ibra a new contract, I wasn't hating or saying it coz I didn't like his purchase, I was stating facts. His pace has declined and he misses begging chances. If we are serious about getting to the top, we need a younger quality striker to will serve us for at least 5 seasons.

Let's thrash this out.. Opta stats showed that Ibra took 9 shots from inside the penalty box and also judged him to have missed 8 clear cut chances. This inadvertly means that every shots taken from inside the penalty box were counted as clear-cut chances but the videos showed majority of this chances were not as clear-cut as the stats would have us believe. Most of them were difficult aerial duels or mid air volley shots..

So do tell me, how do Opta determines these difficult chances.

Aguero for example has missed as many clear-cut chances as Ibra, if not more but he didn't have high percentage on Opta because Aguero hardly contested aerial or mid air balls and as such, his missed chances were less than that of Ibra.

In other words, if Ibra had missed just 4 clear-cut chances and Aguero missed 4 clear-cut chances as well but the fact that Ibra had other shots taken inside the penalty box regardless of how difficult they were, would increase his shots tallies while Aguero's remain the same!


Can you get the memo, stats worshipper!

Kagawa10:
The opta stats showed that 9 shots was taken by Ibra from inside the penalty area yet Ibra was alleged to have missed 8 chances regardless of 7 goals he's scored..

Do tell me where all the missed shots came from?
And are you implying that Aguero/Rashford would have contested those aerial chances or mid air balls, let alone the difficult ones?

You're simply someone who can't eve think out of the box other than resorting to opta even when the visual clips above stated otherwise. You should be grateful to Ibra for contesting the chances in the first place, Your rooney is even useless in that regards and of course you didn't see the one Rooney missed vs Watford, that's what a clearcut chance is about, seeing that you don't know what it entails and it was created by Ibra!
