The Random Stat Attack

I know this was tongue in cheek but......

 

Invincibles overrated anyway bro.

 

Man City are averaging 2.74 points a match in 2024. Extrapolated over a full season, that's 104 points.

 

You're doing your best to downplay Arsenal

 

Softens the blow...

 

We're on 2.68 a match. That's 102 points over a 38 match season.

We're a very good football team

 

You guys are nowhere near 115 charges though. Lots of ground to make up there to be proper title contenders.

 

I agree.

 

Playing in the under 19s at 14 years old

Big hopes for this one. Coming up with more hype than Nwaneri.

Would be more interesting if it also had a graph of goal kick completion/success rates.

 

I think to put in perspective as well you'd want to see the amount of time that these sides were in front in games for these goal kicks.

It does show it's an issue though if teams are taking 40 seconds to take a goal kick if ahead, given that this new extra time system that was in at the start of last season has disappeared, as no time will be added on for a goal kick.

 

Cole Palmer is the only PL player with 10+ goals and 10+ assists in 2024.

16 goals
11 assists

If you took away all his penalties, he would still be the only player with 10+ goals and 10+ assists in 2024.

 

Said it before will say it again, it's cruelly annoying that he plays for such a shitty club. Great footballer.

 

...and Lallana set him up for the goal.

 

That's a stunning statistic.

Even lukaku couldn't manage that.

 

I’m not a stat guru but how do you have 23 touches and only 1 shot and 5 unsuccessful passes. Is a touch literally any touch of the ball? Like 50/50 herders?

 

Yeah headers, blocks, clearances and potentially dribbling the ball and then going on to lose it.
