Sure, but albeit over the course of the season, and for a team comfortably in the top half, you wouldn't expect that stat to be particularly skewed by anything.


No but be interesting to see what the xG against is for Chelsea. May give a rough idea of if he is actually having a mare or not.

Can't stand the guy after his refusal to be subbed last season so not really fussed if he is just shit.


FWIW, I think that stat is one of the few I would not expect to 'average out' and to remain skewed.

Goalkeeper stats are still very much in their infancy.


I'm with Papes, one season is a relatively small sample so would expect variance

However, I don't see many keepers being able to consistently outperform their expected saves numbers over five seasons or so

Haven't bothered to look this up, mind!

Not just that, its so dependent on, in order of decreasing impact, the tactics of the team, the nature of the defenders in front, and then, finally, freak occurances, that I would expect the effects of that to dominate. Like fielding stats in baseball.

The number of shots on target in a game is going to be one of the smallest numbers, per game, you could monitor, with goals the only significant one below.

Here's a good one. Coventry City currently second in League One - if they finish fifth or higher, it will be their highest finish in any league since they won the then Second Division in 1966-67. Since then they've finished no higher than sixth, and in the top half only 12 times in 52 seasons.

It's a bit of a slow death for their fans. Before their Premier League relegation in 2000-01, they came in the 15th or lower four times in six seasons. And before relegation from the Championship in 2011-12, they finished 17th, 21st, 17th, 18th and 19th in consecutive seasons.

And I thought being a Rochdale fan was depressing....

From Despair To Where? Jimmy Greaves is often the answer to a lot of these "youngest player" questions. He would have been 21 or 22 when he hit 200 appearances in England and Italy. He was 20 when he scored his 100th league goal.


on that note, the Greaves documentary on BT sport is well worth the time.

Given that West Ham got all four in ‘66, how does that work
Goalscorers perhaps
