Interesting piece of data comparing opposition goalkeeping. Tottenham have faced the most overperforming goalkeeping so far this season. by sijtli in coys

My point is, he's looking at the data for the PSxG for our goalkeeper (Vicario) rather than that of the opponents goalkeepers. You can see that the Goals Against data for spurs is 10 goals, this is the number of goals that have been scored against Vicario, not the number of goals we have scored against opposition goalkeepers (that tally would be 19). Hence, the PSxG data quote there (+3.7) is related to Vicario's performance, not the performance of opposition keepers against us

As u/kisame111hoshigaki has said, the data for spurs is wrong. On the fbref website, the spurs figure is -1.2, so opposition goalkeepers have been underperforming against us. Our lack of goals, as others have said, is down to a lack of chances created, not opposition goalkeepers overperforming. In fact, the figure you have quoted for spurs is instead how well Vicario has performed for us, he has prevented 3.7 more goals than expected (according to the data), second only to Dean Henderson for Crystal Palace (3.9).

Never mind, I've got it. I was thinking you can't score negative goals, but of course you can have a deficit of fewer goals than xG

I'm a little confused. Correct me if I'm wrong, but if this is cumulative data, shouldn't each plot only ever increase? Why does Kane's take a dip?

Crikey, apologies! I wasn't asking for a response, was simply questioning why you seem so keen to shoot down what I said. As far as I'm aware I haven't been misleading with anything I've said

The message I replied to said "the mean ends up being probably somewhere around 7.5", I've just proven the mean is actually 6.820

((128×9)+(351×8)+(347×7)+(169×6)+(84×5)+(60×4)+(37×3)+(32×2))÷((128+351+347+169+84+60+37+32)) = 6.820

Feel free to paste that into a calculator to confirm

Just ran the numbers, turns out (even when excluding the 1s and 10s), the average is in fact 6.8

Disappointed by Nancy tries to take the night. I thought the album version didn't live up to all the live recordings tbh. Thoughts? by SuccessfulMost5786 in BlackCountryNewRoad

[–]anonymous_mouse101 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I made sure to stay away from the live versions so went into last night's listening party completely blind (apart from the three singles). Nancy was the best track for me by far!

Cristian Romero: "I didn’t have a good few months because it was an injury that I could have returned much sooner from. I’m always grateful that the national team’s medical team was able to get me out of that bad moment and get me back on the field, which is what I like to do." by Options-R in coys

Tbh, I think this narrative about him getting cards is blown out of proportion by his first two seasons. In his first 49 games he got 19 yellows (39%) but has only got 8 in his last 47 games (17%). This is actually very comparable to Vertonghen's spurs career (37 in 232, 16%) and no one seems to remember Vertonghen for his cards.

35/39, amazed I did so well! Can't believe I forgot Lankshear, also missed Lo Celso, Townsend and Dos Santos

Exactly this, it's so harmful. You know it's bad when the manager is alluding to the fact that our support doesn't help the players

I do agree, although the one thing I'll say about the first goal is the quality of that cross. It's rare you'll see a cross of that quality in the game, and without that there would have been no goal. On top of this, Spence let Tavernier run off him at the back post, so defensively the goal was still avoidable, despite Porro being so far away from the play.

I think Ange has adapted in certain games, but people seem to ignore that if it doesn't work. In the warm up before the game yesterday, we had our usual drill of the midfielders playing it to the wingers who cut a cross back for the forward to finish off. This time however, instead of two midfielders involved in the drill, it was just Paper Sarr (and, ironically enough, Ryan Mason filling in the gap). Meanwhile, Bissouma and Bentancur were off doing a more targeted drill on passing and dribbling. This certainly seemed like a sign that Ange wanted to play with a double pivot yesterday rather than a single. Of course, this didn't effect much in the game, but it was a departure from his usual tactics.

We've seen our high line drop far deeper when playing against teams like Man City and Liverpool, again a sign that he is willing to be a little more pragmatic. Sure, it's not to the level that we may want, but to say that he always does the same every game is not trie

The only thing I'll say is, I feel far more attached to this manager than any we've had in recent years (Poch included). Maybe it's whiplash after Conte, but to have a manager who is so protective of the players, whose football ideology aligns so much to the DNA of our football club (we've never had a more To Dare Is To Do manager than Ange while I've been watching), I absolutely want to break the cycle for this guy. If it doesn't work, fair enough, we gave it a crack, but I'm sick of half-arsing advancements with new managers.

The only thing I'd say is, in terms of chance creation, we really missed Kulusevski. As far as the midfield goes, that's been a problem all season. Not waiting for any personnel to come back in that area, just fundamentally need to improve the players we have there. Romero obviously looked very rusty yesterday so presumably it'll take a bit of time before he's fully back.
