Football Twitter nerd stuff

The Debate show on Sky (including Paul Merson) are about to discuss stats and expected goals :grin: This should be fun.

Paul Merson didnā€™t disappoint :joy:

Heā€™s not wrong!! :grinning:

They become low goals stats?

No, heā€™s saying buy a great striker who scores lots of goals and you donā€™t need to worry about expected goals. Heā€™s a genius!!

xG is like saying my bro thinks he shouldā€™ve scored there.

No, itā€™s really not.

Sterling is getting some top class coaching and management. Wouldnā€™t be half the danger here.

Great analysis from @MoRosement on Valverdeā€™s Barca, if anyoneā€™s interested. The videoā€™s 22 minutes long but itā€™s well worth the watch.

How the fuck are we not in for Seri yet?? Still has that Ā£35m release clause from what I hear.

Seri has impressive stats for sure but heā€™s being compared to current season Kroos where Madrid are 19 points off Barca. Would be interesting to see how he compares to last season Kroos

I compared their stats from the previous year just now, they look almost identical tbh.

Itā€™s probably something to do with his defensive stats, Seriā€™s averaging what 0.9 tackles & 0.6 interceptions per game (Whoscored) thatā€™s weak.

We need a Cm whoā€™s gonna be willing to sacrifice himself for the team but have also got the ability to link up nicely with those around him, some one like Lucas Torreira for example, whoā€™s averaging 2.9 tackles and 2.1 interceptions PG and he can play.

Or even Fabinho heā€™s not a good as Torreira going forward or as press resistant but atleast heā€™d bring that defensive nous that weā€™re lacking in the middle at the moment.

Seri plays more like a b2b mf anyways, he deputizes as a dm occasionally but yeah itā€™s not his favored position. Fabinho yes, Toerreria yes (tbh donā€™t know much about him but Iā€™m assuming heā€™s a dm?) Iā€™ll take them both as Xhaka replacements. Seri to me is more of a Santi replacement. My sole interest is raising the level of the technical ability in our team.
