City battering City over in the city of culture

God is going to punish this Pep for the way he's wasting KDB

When the goal of the season is an offside goal.

Chelseafan1:

This team is unbelievable.
Pedro or Hazard .. MOTM

Bros how e go be na? Anything for boys?

I genuinely can't wait for MOTD tonight

Batshuayi

Pedro!!!!!

That Pedro's trapping was bad as fvck

See Luiz there Tori Olorun

raumdeuter:
Yes because those top 7 are the only comparable sides below that their is a gulf in quality to make any reasonable comparison

Among big clubs the difference in possesion of 6 points which is the difference bettwen City/Liverpool and Chelsea is significant

Rephrase this. I'm not quite sure I follow

When City makes an error in the halfway line the opponent gets a free run at goal and scores, when Chelsea loses the big at the half way line, there are 3-4 other players to cover and that even doesnt get registered as an error

Says who?

Hazard is incredible. This is why he was the PFA player of the year. What a stunna

Pedro resting vs Stoke

hazard ballerific

raumdeuter:
Logically we can only discuss teams within the same level of quality, Makes no sense comparing Atletico to West Brom or Barcelona to Bournemouth since they arent in the same level

The current top 7 are also the top 7 for possession, so if your theory was true, then there wouldn't be such a disparity with regards to Big Chances conceded

Defensive errors leading to goals is because there are fewer players to cover those errors. While for community defending we have more players who are available to cover the mistake. e.g the one below here. A mistake was made it should have led to a goal but the only reason this mistake wont register on the stat sheet was because there was a community member to clear it

Defensive errors are also logged and like I showed you earlier, City and Liverpool are joint 4th fourth for defensive errors

chrisley024:
Fab should have been on yellow but he's in a bigger party

No conspiracy theory allowed today bro. Try again later in the politics section on the manyoo thread.

chrisley024:
O boy! Wheelchair don dribble this midfield tire 2day

I like how Fabregas just dey kick am upandan

Fab is such a bastard tho

donjazet:
The gulf between Pedro and willan is large!!

Very very wide.

raumdeuter:
You just brough stats to validate my point.

City conceded 20 Liverpool conceded 20 Arsenal conceded 19

All 3 play possesion and stats you just showed here shows they concede a more Big Chances than other big sides

Do you still say you cant see the relation between possesion, goals conceded and Big chances conceded?

My friend, there is no correlation.

Arsenal has conceded more big chances than Liverpool or City, yet fewer goals. Ditto Middlesbrough.

Everton and WestBrom have conceded far more Big Chances than both Liverpool and City, yet have conceded roughly the same number of goals.

The current top 7 are also the top 7 for possession, so if your theory was true, then there wouldn't be such a disparity with regards to Big Chances conceded

Imbecides in defence are the ones that decide what happens to a chance. It's no coincidence that Liverpool and City are joint 4th in the league for Defensive mistakes, and Liverpool 2nd for Defensive errors leading to goals, with City in joint 4th

If that ball had entered lasaan

raumdeuter:
You brought the stats . BC is big Chances right? Who has the highest number of BC in this screenshot you posted

Where is Arsenal on that List?

Pedrolito

raumdeuter:
This is basic logic I am surprised you missed it

When you play possesion, In most cases you have to play a high line, when you play a high line, you get fewer players in defence, when you get fewer players in defence means opponent get higher quality chances.

six 90% chances vs thirteen 50% chances

E.g Chelsea vs City, Chelsea had about 4 chances on goal and all 3 goals were defenders isolated with a chelsea attacker which makes it a higher quality chance than shooting in the midst of community defence and stats will record that as a shot/chance conceded


WHy counter attacking is effective is that you are able to go one vs one on the defender and it offers you more higher quality chances

If you take those Liverpool or City defenders, put them in Chelsea today they will start keeping clean sheet because of community work

Before Chelsea started community defence, Was it not these same players caught in defence and were conceding?

Liverpool and Mancity Defence have the best underlying defensive statsitics in the league

Not only are they conceding the fewest shots, shots in the box, and overall chances, they are also amongst the teams conceding the fewest BIG CHANCES(what you called the quality chances) in the league.

See stats below.

What they just have is a bunch of imbecides(similar to Boateng at Bayern) that are ensuring that these few chances are converted into goals by the sheer incompetence of the likes of John Stones and Claudio Bravo

Chelsea, Spurs, United and Arsenal are conceding either more shots, chances, or big chances etc but have chopped less goals because they have competent defenders to deal with the chances and prevent them from becoming goals

raumdeuter:
Bournemouth lacks quality and they are a lower level side, City and Liverpool are the PL sides that play the most possesion this season and their defence gets exposed much more than others. They have both conceded more goals than anyone in top 7

Bayern defence gets exposed regularly especially in the days of Guardiola and its left to Boateng to race 30yards in a high line to block attackers. We saw how some of these defenders fared in a high line when AVB deployed it.

If na community defending any one will look good in it

Actually City and Liverpool are amongst the teams that have conceded the fewest chances and fewest shots in their box this season. Unfortunately they just have 'imbecides' in their defence and goal so that any chance they do concede turns into a goal...just like what happened to Bayern when azmoun got a chance.

patrickmuf:
Godin, Pepe, Bonucci, Pique, Ramos, T. Silva, Toby Alderweireld and Luiz are all currently better than Boateng...

I would also add Kolscieny, Matip, and Godfrey Obaobona to your list

Batshuayi can't even be trusted with start against Bournemouth.

Shey 33m never lana like this

Merry Christmas fellas

Airmark and Raumdeuter oh my days

____________, with all his superior individual brilliance couldn't perform jack despite playing in a star studded team that boasted of many awards. Does that not tell you he's a failure at the international level? So why comparing a failure at the biggest stages to someone(Like Ororo) who won it all?

Your messiah would gladly sum all his goal+assists into just a goal only if that goal would deliver to him the most coveted trophy in the world of football.

Bykebyke come and fill in the gap please.

raumdeuter:
How did Ozil beast a world cup when he was one of the worst players on the field?

Which WC final did Kaka beast?

bykebyke:
Suit yourself.

Currently watching Pakistani Cristina fanboys go up in flames due to that article on twitter.

Pakis cannot be trusted to act rationally in any situation. Shebi you can see Amir Kahn, his wife, and the in laws fighting on instagram despite being right next to each other.

That's why they are the HQ of the taliban. Foolish Pakis act irrationally. Shock horror.

Tommorow you may tell me that water is occassionally known as h2o
