I don't know why the xG stat gets people riled up. It's just expected goals. It's obviously not as important as the scoreline but nobody who brings it up thinks that. It's generally a good indication of what team controlled the game, there'll of course be outliers. We seem to consistently be that this season. The fact we seem to be creating good chances and have still lost at home to Fulham, Wolves and Luton is obviously still a cause for concern whatever your opinion of xG is.
The bit in bold is the only important statistic. Every time we have played a relegation competitor at home we have lost. If that persists there is only one result.
 
@bbcsport Dyche: “It’s a hard one to swallow. In difficult conditions today I thought we (Everton) deserved not just one but all three points. To come away with nothing is tough on the players who put a good shift in. I’m not sure if these the conditions, bad luck or the nervousness around Goodison but we will shake ourselves down and go again. It’s a competitive league with no easy games”.
The man is a moron.
 
You're not very happy with people criticising the set up today when we lost to a team that hasn't won a premier league game ever before given you told someone who did so to "eff off". You don't seem to be following your own system.
That person was moaning even when we were winning. I have no issues with telling where to go tbh!
 


We deserved three points?

He's deluded.
Sick of hearing nervousness we’re going to be after the last couple of near misses and constantly having to come from behind in games we need more than a few wins need to see we have half a clue about passing and creating and seeing games out something to get confident about instead of the garbage constantly served up
 
Inappropriate Language
He is without doubt absolutely [Poor language removed] terrible, worse than Lampard. We are never going to have a consistent run of performances under him and the wins/draws will be hard to come by.
The tactics, the management, reading what the team needs when under pressure and probably not saying the right thing to light a fire in them before the game and at half time.
It’s just madness how he got the job in the first place and shows how far we have fallen. Need 777 to make a decision sooner than later.

No point in bringing it up. Watch the game. The team that scores the most wins, regardless of what the computer thinks. It could say we have an xG of 10 and no rational person would think we could score that much. It’s a nonsense thing to make people feel better about losing. “Well we could have scored 3 goals.” But we didn’t.
