Porro being on the chart shows you how much context is missing here and how little that stat should be taken at face value
Does it. Or does it just suggest that both of them have been a bit wasteful with chances?
TBH, it’s the least of Johnson’s problems that concern me. His lack of technical ability, intelligence and work off the ball worry me more.
Precisely.
Always the same unless a new player is no MoM if his first game he’s rendered useless no wonder everybody and their dog wants us to fall flat on our faces and win feckall with a fan base with this attitude we deserve all we get.

just because you thi nk Dier/skipp has been bang average/bad for 5 seasons - doesnt meant it is true
This is you in every thread...No, not precisely at all. Much like you, old Blakey hasn’t a clue!
Not really. Porro is a right back, he’s not a great finisher. Brilliant at delivering a ball and creating chances but not fantastic at finishing them off.
All the attackers on that list fit the bill as being wasteful players. Expect to see Werner on there soon enough as well.
lol you're such an idiot.And this is you
And that made me laugh much more than I should have allowed.
Porro is there because small sample sizes have higher variance.
That chart would carry much more weight if it had one filter like min 10 chances to score.
That’s true. My opinion means nothing.
Tbh I don’t think Skipp has been bad for 5 seasons. Also think he’s finding some confidence and getting some form back
Stats are questions. My questions are:
How many chances to score has each player in that chart had?
A good finisher might score 6/10 but if the 4 misses come in their first 5 chances and you don’t know what you are doing with data, you could look at it and jump to a premature assumption.
How high was the xg on each chance?
How are you calculating the xG?
Against which teams were those chances?
It’s annoying. Probably the same in every fan base though?
Maybe he’s being asked to stay high to give us an option in behind when we win it back. Sons already said in an interview that Postecoglu doesn’t want him tracking back, probably the same with Johnson on the other side. He doesn’t want the whole team being dragged back like the previous two managers.
Can see Richy being told that, last night, but not BJ.
No way Ange was watching that and thinking its ok.
We push high, so need to recover, effectively.
Especially, against CITY.
He did nothing to warrant us paying 50m for him. We'll see if we can develop him in to a decent player. Always need to give them one season
