Or blinded so many people to the lack of actual wins.

Those were halcyon days, weren’t they? Back in the times of September and October, when people assured us that things were about to ‘click’ into place and it would be no time at all until we were challenging at the top while Sunderland’s ‘good fortune’ would finally run out and we’d all be able to wave and laugh at them as we passed them in the league table.

July 81–September 82.
Back in the days of Charlie Amer.
Bobby Murdoch = 16.67% overall.
If you remember, he was absolutely crap.
Won 9 games in 54 and lost 26!

Yep 19 games without a league win at one stage.....how he lasted to the end of the 81/82 season must have been a mystery for those on the terraces at the time.

Sacked after 7 league games in to the next season again without a win

Yeah, but those of us who "just dont understand statistics" are just unduly worried and we'll be sailing past Sunderland any day now.

I mean if you can find literally any post where anyone said that we 'will sail past Sunderland because of xG' then knock yourself out!

I was listening to an episode of the Football Cliches podcast the other day (they had Gary Lineker on) and they made a good point that xG probably upsets people because of the 'expected' element. If it was called 'quality of chance' then it probably wouldn't have the same effect.

Does make me chuckle when posters make out something was said, when it wasn't said....all to fit their narrative.

I think many who look into stats suggested Sunderland wouldn't be top if they continued with their underlyings....when at the time, they were 1st with a gap to 3rd.

And guess what?....they continued with their similar approach and underlyings (in fact they upped them slightly), and where are they? Oh, they've dropped to 4th spot, now with 5pts adrift of auto's.

Similarly, Azaz was criticised by many at the start of the season when the ball wasn't going in the net and some fans wanted him dropped. but his underlyings were very very good during this spell...and yet fast forward a month or two, Carrick persisted, his data never changed and all of a sudden the ball started going in the net....

BuT xG iS a LoAd Of Sh*t
