Agree. The PL has somehow evolved to a point where teams that win don’t need to have any elite passers, elite dribblers or elite shooters from distance.

Every goal is high xG and exactly the same as the others.

Cunha might be the only player im seeing playing anything other than analytics, robot ball.

Dude I don't give a flying fukk about xG & I have no idea why it's even a metric that's taken seriously.

Yeah b-b-b-Rasmus Hojland has 1.35465746635262 xG - Yeah sure but the fukker's only scored two goals in the entire season who gives a shit. Do we as fans really care? if it's a goal, it's a goal. Another one I really don't care about is the A in GA - if any player is dedicated to set pieces they're going to get a higher Assist Rate it means fukk all. I'm not saying stats don't matter but cmon now there's some which are just fluff & nonsense.

You don't count xG when you pull a bird you either do or you don't none goes home thinking ah man my xG was soo high in that one but I guess it's back to good old Ms Righty tonight.

Drop Maddison for being honest about Ange? Nah fuck that.

He needs to start. We literally have 0% creativity without him.

Angeball to serve up more dross, although there needs to be a reaction so I wouldn't be surprised to see a good result considering we're playing for nothing.

Maddison to be dropped to the bench is my prediction, after his recent touchline convo with Sonny slating Postecoglou shouting "play" as his only instruction.

Whoa WTF! you don't bench players being critical you listen to them - what are we doing here?

Are you some kind of top tier lip reader knowing 100% of what Madders said & the entire context? Those plays were shit, same build-up stage, same attack stage with fukk all chance, finishing or creativity. If it was me as a player I'd be in the dressing room talking to the captain & the Coach asking WHA THE FUKK!!!

Would you predict a bench for Sonny for saying what he did in the pressers?

You're probably right. Ange should play Maddison, but he also wants players that believe in playing his ridiculous tactics, which Maddison doesn't seem committed too in terms of his thinking process. On the pitch, he is forced to abide by them.

Maddison starts for me but I don't think Ange would have liked what Maddison said...I'm not a top tier lip reader but I'm definitely in the top 3.

Maddison clearly says "Yeah but that's what I'm saying, every time. you can't, just say 'play' "

Postecoglou shouts "play" on the touchline all the time.

He wouldn't bench Sonny because it would raise too many eyebrows and Postecoglou isn't in a particularly strong position to be having a tit for tat with his captain and a legend at the club.

hahaha sure I'll take your words with the benefit of being said.

I'm not in the Managers head so I don't make assumptions - I'm not too concerned with who is playing more in what positions they're being played in & the subs used.
 
It's going to be a shitshow. We'll lose and to save myself the pain, I've decided to take the boy out to soft play instead. A couple of hours of screaming toddlers running around like lunatics is preferable to watching this shit.

Fuck Ange for making me feel this way.
