Stats Please

[ucandomagic]

Well - that was one of those games when everybody seems to have seen what they wanted to see - and from all the posts on here what different people saw was quite often the complete opposite. This was a game when only the stats can tell us the truth. How many passes, % completions, possessions lost etc were there. particularly for Didsy and Norwood.

People on here vary from vilifying both to making Norwood MOM. I know what I think, but please BladesPod and @Blades_Analytic can you post some objective stats for me to balance my emotions against.

Must admit, at the end I was quite glad to hear the whistle.

Back to the booze!

Our xG score was 2.50 vs. 0.67 for Watford
Mousset had expected goal involvement (xG + xA) of 0.54 vs. McBurnie 0.33 and McGoldrick 0.05
Lundstram very quiet with an xGI of 0.10

An that explains it then

The only stat that matters is we are 6th after 50% of the season.

McGoldrick lost possession 8 times, the most of anybody on the pitch. Norwood only lost possession once.

Just that stat can't really tell the full story though, because Deulofeu lost possession 7 times and he was pretty good...

My xP (expected pisses) during the game was 1.7 but I exceeded my xP as managed 2.0. Also xCS (expected cheese sandwich) at half time was around 1.2 but managed 1.7 which I was disappointed about tbh.

It's difficult watching the Blades at 2am
