    They all had 6 g/a but Rashford looked lost after the very start of coming back from injury. Sancho seemed unlucky and didn't have better numbers because he was surround by shit.

    You honestly think Jack was anywhere close to as bad as Rashford this season? Even factoring in his price. Rashford went from a TOTS level player to a guy who had trouble getting minutes this season

    This was his explanation

    He obviously wasn't but isn't it pretty damning he had the same amount of goal contributions as a guy having his worst year on his team's worse year while Jack was surrounded by brilliance?

    It’s a good thing we have deeper stats than simply looking at G and A.

    Rashford’s assists and expected assists were even while Grealish was let down by teammates and was -.15 A-xA per 90.

    he was on a super dominant team, rashford was surrounded by trash. Also rashford was hurt a lot, what was grealish’s excuse?

    Just admit you can’t look beyond simple G+A numbers and we can move on

    I expect more from Jack, didn’t like the signing at the time and still don’t like it but the 2 players weren’t comparable this season.

    I mean that team probably finishes where Man U did.

    The worst players play for Norwich. So the team should be top 6 players who disappointed. Firpo does suck. Leeds have bought very poorly.

    Dan James and Rodrigo for north of £50m to be goal scores but neither can play as a striker. I'm glad Leeds stayed up because they are a big club*. And Jesse Marsch was catching shit for Bielsa's poor squad management. And the Ted Lasso comments about him were annoying.

    Has ESPN FC ever produced a single piece of truly interesting or useful content?

    just one “who would you rather?”, “look what player X did/said”, or a flawed stat after another

    VAR ain’t perfect by any means, but it generally has nudged us away from mistaken calls. I’m glad Tottenham played in such a way that was purer to the laws of the sport :rules:

    The amount of assumptions they had to make to create the table along with the whole possibility that the VAR decision was obviously correct or whether the ref would have made a different decision without VAR as backup.

    What’s the point of it if it doesn’t consider whether the decision was correct or not? Pretending VAR doesn’t exist is a pointless exercise.
    How we work out the VAR Effect Table
    We take only the first VAR overturn in each game, because the calculation considers that any subsequent VAR incident wouldn't have happened and the whole direction of the game has been altered. (Think of it like a Marvel timeline, or the plot of any time travel movie.)

    The VAR decision is then reverted to the original on-field call -- so if a goal is disallowed for offside, it's given as a goal.

    If a penalty has been cancelled, it is considered to have been awarded and scored, unless the team in question has a penalty-conversion record of 50% or below over the season. For instance, Burnley and Watford missed half the spot kicks they were awarded, with Brighton on 57.1% and Man United on 60%. If 50% or below, a penalty may be judged to have been missed.

    If a team has been awarded a goal through a penalty or an incorrect offside through VAR, the goal is disallowed.

    We then took into account a series of factors before settling on a predicted outcome:

    Team form: Results in the previous six matches give an indication of how a team has been playing generally.

    Time of incident: For instance, if an incident happens late in the game, it's less likely that the scoreline would change again after this point.

    xG at time of incident: This allows us to take into account which team has been creating the better chances and is in the ascendancy.

    Team strength: As well as form, a team's general strength plays a part. This factors in league position, and a team's goal-scoring and defensive records across the season.

    Impact of incident: For example, a red-card decision being reversed may change the outcome of a match.

    Kante is a bizarre one. He had a step down from, uh, arguably the most unique and effective 6 on earth. It was frustrating and acknowledged by Tuchel but… worst DM in the league? Sup?
