Should do both. Stats are misleading if you don't know how to use them, and absolutely are contextual. Exactly the same applies to watching a player - it's misleading if you aren't good at analysing player, and also entirely contextual. All I'm...

It's a tough one. If Chermiti is going out on loan I think we could do with another option personally. You're only one bad injury away from having no competition or options which isn't ideal. Whether it's an out and out striker or someone who can...

I agree, but I also don't think the speed we have moved at so far is actually surprising. We have an entirely new team of people in charge, most of whom are only just through the door, some of them still even being on gardening leave. Previous...

The bit I don't get with Harrison is that if we took him back now, it would have to be a permananet transfer He currently earns in the region of £80k to £90k per week in his Leeds contract - even if Leeds ripped that contract up and let him sign...

Hahah I did not see this, I like that we both immediately thought of Sandro

Dang it, toffeeblue9. I wrote a similar message and then read yours.

No, but your poster boy for this argument is, formerly of this parish, Sandro Ramirez. The season before he signed for us, he scored an unusual number of absolute bangers - over-performing his xG significantly, He, basically, had the season of...

Just to follow on from this, almost nobody ever consistently exceeds their expected assists, it just doesn't happen. Even Messi - one of the only players to ever consistently exceed their xG - didn't at Barca, and think about the players he was...

No, not really. That "expected assists" figure includes every chance he created whether it was finished or not It's all about whether you buy into the data stuff (but most clubs do now use this - Everton have literally just bought an entire data...

Saw an interesting stat about Fellows - he got 14 assists, but his "expected assists" was actually about 7 - which means that players finished an unusually high number of chances that he created, and if he reverted to the mean I'm not sure there...

Only way we sign another out and out striker now is if there's something on the cards in regards to Beto's future I would think. Closest we would get to another striker would be if we signed a winger or attacking midfielder who can also play...

Have they tried looking at delta taxi drivers in Liverpool? Coz thats where they are. Remember getting a taxi off wavetree road once and being picked up by a 6ft 8 war criminal from the eastern block. Lad was absolutely coked off his nana...

I would but I really, really hate that guy.

Interesting the athletic saying Harrison was training with Barry & Alcaraz in the US.

Pointless answering this until we see what the squad looks like at the end of the window How we do this season will be dictated, more than any season in our modern history, by what happens in this transfer window because of the sheer volume of...
