I mean if someone recorded all of my matches and made a compilation of all of my best passes, I would look decent as well. I've never liked...
It doesnt seem quite useful stat. It is a sort of loosely indicative of playing style, but doesnt say much
Come on, man. You made a silly mistake of reading carlito's words as "5 or more" instead of "more than 5" dribbles and now you are trying to...
I dont know what you mean by "predictive" but I think i know where you are going with it and i would disagree with that particular point. When it...
My point regarding eye test is that xGoT, the way its measured, uses only few measurable factors in consideration like placement of a shot and...
Yeah. In some ideal scenario, finishing in a sense that I described above could be calculated as xGoT - xA (the moment player recieves a pass),...
Yeah. I think 3 is too small of a number for elite. It just doesnt sound to me as such a big deal.. plus it is kind of unfair to some players who...
Okay. But for me then we are talking about different aspects - finishing abilities and pure ball-striking ability. I see it like this: 1....
I think better and perhaps more intuitive example would be Harry Kane. It is like saying that Kane is elite playmaker just that he was a striker...
I am not sure about that. I might be late to the party or I might have not seen information that makes this conclusive, but all of you did....
Great find @PDG1978 I knew I had to read it somewhere on this forum.
Did that guy really watched all of Zidane's games for Juve in Serie A and kept track of stats? Really?
Of course, it has to be a reasonable explanation. "For reasoning and explanation to be considered sufficient, they should meet several criteria...
Yes, that is why I immediately jumped on the "subjective perspective" conversation that you said was irrelevant to the topic at hand. it is...
If I were to claim that "Maradona is not elite finisher" then It would be required of me to provide strong justification for why I am making this...
Big bolded red and blue letters are back with a bang!
EXCEPT, I, nor anyone else, have claimed that Maradona is much worse finisher than Messi. There is a big difference between claiming something to...
It is an extra ordinary claim, by definition. Elite is: "a select group that is superior in terms of ability or qualities to the rest of a group...
What you call engagment from your side really hasnt brought any clarity on your point of view. Your explanations are ambiguous and do nothing but...
I only write like 1/10th of what my actual thought process is behind the scene. If you believe that something substantial and valuable can be...
It is understood that what you say is your opinion. There is essentially only one reason why someone would say that it is his opinion in the...
At the very core, I would agree that every opinion (and perspective for that matter) is subjective, but this would turn into a philosophical...

It would be awesome if you reengaged the forum with actual, useful input as sometimes you would do in the past rather than opting for short,...
Mate, I've been doing this for so long and have seen all argumentitive tactics imginable that people use.. I am naturally good at seeing through...
