2023/24 Sean Dyche

[PeregrineT]

Are you asking if people would rather have more points or lower xG?

Am I understanding this question?

Im asking the question exactly as asked. Is it literally just the points total after 8 matches that matters over everything else.

I would rather be on 14 points, then 7 points.

Yes.

 

[Everton_Gary]

I would rather be on 14 points, then 7 points.

Yes.

Agreed! Give me the real points over some made up stat every day.

Yes

 

[Gilbert..]

So the question is for all of you saying "bottom line we dont have the points" people...if we instead had a manager that had us on 14 points, but with less shots and more shots allowed(so worse xG of course), would you hire that guy instead?

XG. Its the highest in 8 years. Screw points. So old school.
We're on the march with dyche's((XG) army.

 

[Rooney_Tunes]

We had 1 shot on target against Arsenal. And 2 shots against villa away in the league.
The XG stuff is against the likes of luton sheff utd bournemouth and fulham.
The two tough games we had we lost both and the XG was non existent. Funny how thats not mentioned.

Nobody outside of Everton probably gives a sh!t but all Evertonians know we've had a gift set of fixtures to bank points and its not gone well. To be told our XG has been brilliant against 5 of the bottom 7 might appease some but given we created virtually nothing in the two games against those not in the bottom 7 tells me something different.

The tests are on the way now. I hope we dont collapse.

There are a lot of people on here who will not like a forthright, logical person such as you...so to you I say, go forth and prosper...

Ok then...you're convincing me, albeit very very slowly...

Seeing as points are tangible and actually earn you something and xG isn’t and doesn’t, yes.

Yes

Winning actual games v winning imaginary points

I wonder what a fan would want??

 

[Nymzee]

Up the alternate league table toffees

Are points in the league the most important statistic in league football?

Yes.

 

[Gilbert..]

Agreed! Give me the real points over some made up stat every day.

I think dyche waffled on so much about XG in press confrences that he actually started to convince some that it was a positive. Like some star wars jedi mind trick.
There were no positives from 0 points at home from 12 at the start of the season. None.
But its done now. i hope we can get a few results coming up in the next few games to give me hope.

 

[ForeverEverton]

Agreed! Give me the real points over some made up stat every day.

I read somewhere that Harrisons goal contributed 0.02 xG, despite being an actual goal scored...

 

[Goat]

I read somewhere that Harrisons goal contributed 0.02 xG, despite being an actual goal scored...

 

[hippopotamus]

Absolutely worthless goal. Beto's side netting was so much more valuable.
