I didn't think it was tailored for each player though. More like X amount of shots have been taken from here and gone in.

I just don't think you can say for that's a sure goal. Sterling has missed some stinkers in his career but when you watch some of them back they were fizzed in and bobbled up.

As a generally accurate measure it's been a good introduction to the stat sheet though, it's more useful than 95% of them.

Bet Torres would've had an xG of 3-4 in lots of games with Chelsea where he'd only score once (if that). You could look at that stat and immediately know that unless he was incredibly unfortunate he's had a shocking day in front of goal.

Can't do that with any other attacking stat. Feel like too many 'yer da' pundits are quick to write it off because they haven't taken the time to understand it imo.

Only Argentina has the luxury of not needing to take Icardi or dybala to the world cup. Wonder how much Messi influences Sampaolis decision.

And they're the only NT that win absolutely nothing with that much talent and Messi.

That Icardi fellow is going to go to Chelsea isn't he?

His scoring record is ace but speaking of stats he has 1 assist. Unusual stat for someone so close to goal.

Chelsea do need a top line striker though. Morata was a mistake. He's not good enough as a starter even for Chelsea so it's hard to see where he stands now. He might as well be a career no2 at a better team. It's a weird niche he's carved out for himself.

I like the look of Icardi.

He's one of those players that every time i watch he scores at least one goal.

He looks like a bit of a bastard as well so i think he'd be a good fit at Chelsea

Proper twat though. Pulled a John Terry on his mentor. Tattooed the man's kids on him and married his wife after the affair.

Icardi is another Barcelona product as well. Very good striker. I figured he'd be ideal for Chelsea but he's a bit of a poacher isn't he? Sort of like Batshuayi and we know how that turned out. (scoring for fun in Germany though)

Its a shame really.
They went to 3 finals in 3 straight years. Losing twice in penalties to Chile and a loss to Germany that honestly they shouldn't have lost. They win those games you're talking about an Argentinian dynasty.

Heard Madrid may be interested in Morata again. Guess he thinks 3rd time will be a charm.

International breaks are so dead lol.

Who do you lot favour to win the world cup?

Why is Delle Alli so terrible for England.

He just doesn't seem to have the technique to play slow international footy. Loses the ball most of the time.

Loftus Cheek is better than him at football
