2020/21 James Rodriguez

[WA Toffee]

Whilst it’s not an exact science, there’s a theory that over the course of a season, a goal tends to be worth a point, and there’s supportive evidence of this hypothesis. Last season, there was a total of 1034 goals scored in the Premier League, and there was a total of 1048 points gathered.

If we stretch that sample size across the previous three campaigns, there’s a difference of just six between the goals scored, 3124, and points accumulated, 3130.

While I generally do not out much emphasis on stats ,that is a curious one

Every game provides either 2 or 3 points. A lot of games have 2 or 3 goals so it kind of stands to reason both totals would be similar.

A more accurate analysis would be points v goals scored by team. Over the past 2 or 3 seasons, more than half the teams have similar amounts of goals scored v points (within 10%), so it may be fair to say one goal is indeed worth one point over the course of a season

is that you @Sassy Colombian

Hahaha, not at all. I will have way more composure the day that I get to meet James.

 

[longers]

He’s great and all but he’s a proper sicknote to the point where you wonder how much impact he can actually have when he misses half the matches

he’s probably on his ps5 as we speak...still love him though

5 goals and 8 assists in 21 games.

He can be sick whenever he wants for my liking with those figures.

 

[Saint Domingo]

Just being saved for Chelsea. Put the kopites to the sword, played some fortnite, sliced open Chelsea in their backyard.

 

[Thomasc]

Suppose he plays more than Gbamin

How many has he missed through injury, do you know mate?

 

[ToffeeTim]

Disappointing but he was always going to be missing quite often. He's a player who supplements our squad really well but we can't build around him.

He'll have missed, including tonight:

7x PL
1x FA Cup
1x EFL Cup

Probably missed less than I thought he would tbh.

Considering he's had no proper footy in ages and missed a pre season he's done decent I reckon. Disappointed he's missing tonight but Ancelotti seems to find a way to get results even when we are missing our best players.

 

[wainy]

We should have enough without him to beat these regardless. These and sheff United are two of the worst PL teams in a long time

 

[messymascot]

If he's a doubt no point in risking him. In the game against Chelsea he could be the difference.

Yeh he's missed less than I realised as well. Like I'd love him fit as an option every game but we all knew that wouldn't be the case.

Fortnite/Warzone is more important than the blues it looks like, Maybe the reports of him wanting to go to Atletico Madrid so he could have better ping with his friends??
