Midlands Yellow 3,980 Posted August 23, 2022 Those that fully believe in it could make some predictions after studying the data. Give it a dozen matches and we’d soon see whether it works. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Canaries north 151 Posted August 23, 2022 XG is about chances created. When they are missing their front 3 I'm sure that makes a difference to those chances being converted. They had two 1 on 1s with the goalkeeper and with the previous front 3 you would have expected a goal. Our XG might be great but with Pukki not firing for what ever reason and the backup not having great past history in this department this does worry me. Sargent has done amazingly well the past 2 games and long may this continue but I am worried he will dip again and then our XG could be fantastic but we won't get many points.

CanaryNath 30 Posted August 23, 2022 You mean like when Pussetto ‘joined’ Watford from Udinese for £15m a couple Of years ago, but was then immediately loaned back to them?? it’s ridiculous. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No, it’s quite different. Watford bought Pussetto 18 months after Udinese bought him, for about the same amount (£7million, not £15million), then was loaned back to Udinese 9 months later. In this case, Watford have sold Kamara 7 months after they bought him, for £13.5million more than they bought him for. Nothing wrong with the first deal, lots wrong with this deal.
