BBC Sport - Inaccurate Stats

[Sothall_Blade]

They reckon we’ve had no shots on target in the first half when surely we’ve had at least two? Wilson and Stevens:-

 

[WooltonBlade]

Their stats are always off.

 

[Sean Thornton]

Not just stats, when the first guilty verdicts were announced about that bastard Burnell Five Live opened the news with " Guilty verdicts for Ex Liverpool manager...."

I think it's because they don't show the full stats. There should also be a stat for 'shots blocked'. Gave JOC MOM though

If it's anything like their match reports then I'm not surprised. Very poor standard.

Stevens shot maybe but Wilson’s where the goalie saved it on the line?

 

[JordoBlade]

It was the same with sky sports stats.

They don't collect their own stats. Its done by Opta I believe.

Yeah, it looked on target tbf.

#fakestats.. goes with their news reporting tbf

 

[Harrisblade]

Who/what decides between shot or cross on Opta?

Who/what decides between shot or cross on Opta?

I think the answer is whoever from Opta that watches our game. It looks like there is one person watching the home team, one the away team and a third for further analysis. They will be assisted by the software. I don’t know what happens when they go for a piss

Sky show a fuller set of stats which includes blocked shots - we had 4 which must include the Stevens chance.

Did I miss his thread on the outcome of the US election? It must have been full of Russians gloating...

These are still wrong though. Wilson and Baldock both had shots on target saved on the line by the keeper.

nobody .. it’s a global agenda

Maybe they put Wilson's down as a cross. It wasn't really a save, he just caught it like a keeper used to catch back passes, although if he hadn't, it would have gone in, I think.
