Should be able to concede if you have world class strikers and AMs

Problem is that thwy arent playing world class up top, so every goal conceded is a like a killer blow
 
Olympiacos A 2-2

Sanchez on right passes to Son central who passes to Kane on edge of box. He dribbles past defender who trips him. Penalty high central. 1-0.

Winks intercepts defender’s clearance bursts forward and passes to Lucas who controls well, cuts towards goal and unleashes a powerful fight foot shot from outside the box into the middle left side of the net. 2-0.

Podence
gets the ball at the half way line, passes inside to a player, receives the return and speeds between Toby and Davies. He is totally free in the area and shoots low past Toby’s outstretched leg and ball goes in off the post. If Ndombele chose to run rather than amble back he may have prevented the pass. Davies slow to track Podence and Verts should have been closer to the passer. Hard to call the “main” culprit but Davies just about. 2-1.

Great block by Winks on the edge of the area and the ball goes to Dele in space in the area. He takes 2 touches then tries to pass out of defence to Eriksen who is tackled just outside the area. The ball goes to no 28 who is fouled by Verts. Dele to slow to clear and Ndombele on the right was a straightforward out ball but main culprit Dele dilly-dallied. 2-2.

Dele dilly dallied ..... love it. :roflmao: :roflmao:
 
Maybe this is the best thread to post the following question (I know, I am a statto beginner, but the lockdown is giving me some free time ;) ):

I think I understand what is a XG. But surely the best indicator on how good a side is in terms of scoring goals is : goal scored/XG? (i.e. how lethal a side is at converting goal chances?) Has this metric got a name?
