2 new signings Squad recovered from flu Less fixture congestion Players back from injury Easier run of fixtures

I think he might spend but only if he’s convinced of a few things - They’ll make a genuine difference to our promotion push - He’s getting a good deal on the transfer fee - They’ll have resale value in the future

I agree to an extent, I’m just thinking about the type of player we need. Maybe it will be another loan. But if it was a permanent, I can’t see us getting someone ready to straight in and perform for less than £7-10m which he might baulk at.

I think it’s something we’ll definitely be looking to do but will depend on Doug thinking we’re getting good value.

I literally don’t care who blues are signing, they’re so far behind if they catch us it’s because we’ve self combusted. And we’ve played them twice already.

Tats’ best work is when he does his trademark feint into a cross, Opta probably doesn’t count that as a take on.

Doubt it, people will be anxious and that doesn’t make a good home atmosphere

Still disappointing

Yeah, the fact he got a ban for racism in the MLS put me off the potential signing when we were linked.

Doubt it. Think the wingers were a high priority given our lack of depth there, and evidenced by the players we were linked to and speed of the business. We’ll be more selective and considered with any further signings I think.

Context is key. Plenty of reasons to suggest our form is likely to improve now.

You clearly don’t understand it 🤣

It's a much better way to quantify chance creation than just looking at the number of shots taken or shots on target. Pundits and fans also tend to overestimate the likelihood of scoring for most chances, so having actual statistical data combats that bias. Because football is a relatively low...

There's quite a lot to not understand! That just makes me think you don't understand it even more :ROFLMAO: Why don't you explain your understanding of xg

Quite easily. I suspect you don't.

“I don’t understand it therefore it’s worthless”

I assume taking Rudoni off was planned to manage minutes, not a tactical decision. And Lampard might have wanted to see Esse play centrally.

Why does that make xg pointless 🤣 If xg always lined up with the actual score then it would actually be pointless

Yeah I don’t like saying it but I do think Saturday is a must win. A comfortable win would be monumental for fans and players in terms of nerves and confidence. A loss would be a bit of a nightmare. All magnified by it being Leicester of course.

Wright is now into confirmation bias territory with people watching him all game expecting a poor performance - most strikers will look poor when they don't score.
