Lies, damn lies and...

Seems our players are more accurate in front of goal than we thought - on the very rare occasions that they miss the target, they hit the woodwork!

Diame: 4 shots, 4 shots on target, 4 goals. What we've missed...

 

What about the % of Aluko shots on target which should have gone down in the stats as a back pass?

 

If those are the real shots on target statistics, that is truly ****ing dreadful.

 

Meanwhile, we don't fare too badly in this thoroughly compiled ineptitude index. Depressing to see we've had the most yellow cards for dissent, though.

Lies, damned lies, and ...

Bayesian probability is a load of metaphysical tripe used by scientists who should know better. For the rest of us it just leads to meaningless questions such as if a shot is on target, what is the probability of scoring a goal. Claptrap.

 

good to see Brian Lenihan higher up the table than Figgy, Junior and Davies for shots on target even though he's never appeared once - no doubt these stats were produced by Dr Dementia aka lying ****

 

The only stat that matters now is Sundays final score. Win and we stay up.

 

The shots seem to only breakdown into those that were on target or hit the woodwork so don't include the numerous onces shanked in the vague direction of the corner flag.

Tom Huddlestone: 7 shots on target in 30 Premier League appearances, 0 goals, 2 assists.

 

You are aware that isn't actually the case, aren't you?
