Greenlizard0 Premier League Football Thread ** spoilers ** [9th - 10th November 2024]

Even today, we scored 3 goals from 0.81 xG according to xGphilosophy. Our luck really seems to have come around, long shots are suddenly going in, opponents are scoring own goals etc. None of it is Ruud's system creating chances. How different would the second half have been if Bruno hadn't scored a long range shot and we hadn't got an OG and went in at 0-0 at half time? Because that seemed to happened several times under ETH, against West Ham for example and it gave the opposition belief.

I wonder what the xG for the own goal was? That was an easy chance for Bruno. The fact he scuffed it and the defender actually finished it probably means that is got an xG of 0 associated with it.

0, you don't count xG from an own goal because it's not a chance for the team. Bruno would have had xG if he'd made contact.

Thought Bruno did make contact. Just really poor contact.

It might have come off his shoulder? I'm not sure how they'd count the xG for that

He did. It clipped off his thigh before it hit of the defenders leg and going into the goal. Hence why when he went away to celebrate he pointed to his own leg.

Oh god, it' 's Michael Oliver. *shudder*

 

[omnomnom]

Why didnt colwill get a yellow?

 

[omnomnom]

And that should be his second.

 

[Raymond Lin]

That should have been 1-0 Chelsea.

 

[CliffyG]

Can't have an early yellow apparently.

Cole Palmer's receiving skills are on another level.

 

[el_dazza]

Why on earth is the game being stopped for a player getting the ball in the face from a weak little flick..

 

[Robbo]

Looks just offside...

 

[CliffyG]

Yeah just. Not sure what the Chelsea players were all moaning about.

How poor is Rashford? He’s becoming a passenger in most games, hopefully Amorim can unlock his quality.

Ditto Martinelli.

Some nice diving by Jackson, 2 in a row and ref buys both.

 

[manic111]

Two identical challenges in 20 seconds, one given, one not. Bizarre.

The Oliver Arsenal tax...

Game looks like it going to be aggy.
