[Albion] Palace Fans Biggest Fear

[Tim Over Whelmed]

Well if it doesn’t improve 3 or 4 months.

The thing is palace are not playing that badly but the system ,wing backs playing high up, 2 defensive midfielders in no where land and strikers playing on the wing, yes give it a go for a game or two but it’s been found out but the system and players are staying the same, we can all see but Glasner sticks with it.

Don’t get me wrong I hope it does all click, but I feel uneasy that with Roy’s players he looked a good manager now he has his players in the team we look very vulnerable.

Time will tell it’s only 6 matches in TBF.

I agree, the system needs to bed in and maybe, if, after the window, when he's tweaked, it isn't working then you need to send for that well know Spanish Manager Samuel Alladyceo

Palace could easily have several more points (+4?) from their performances so far according to xG for/against analysis..

Sounds like us under Potter

Or Alain Pardieu.

Speak for yourself mate,,,,,I am more than happy with our start.

Man U , Everton & Arsenal
Ipswich, Forest & Chelsea

More fun for the fans of clubs who were not the big 5 though.

Indeed.

But it was more of an achievement to do it when the league was considered the toughest in world football.

and if my grandmother had wheels........

xG is meaningless when it comes to league position-the ONLY stat that counts are the points you actually gain not the hypothetical ones you may have got. it matters not one bit if you have an xG of 5 per game if you dont put them in the net, whilst keeping fewer balls per match out of yours

XG is often meaningless when it comes to likely result.
Potter proved the worthlessness of xg when you are taking 20 shots with 0.05 xg, up against a team with xg = 1.0 from 2 big chances.

You will lose those games more often than not.

i agree, yet some bang on as though its the be all and end all of games. Its about as reliable as a likely winner indicator as the "win probability" stats shown on tv As Everton found out when 2-0 up with a couple of mins left-the win probability must have been pretty high-

Whilst xG useful as a coaching aid for clubs, its meaningless for fans as a "live stat".IMO its just been publicised as yet something else to encourage match betting
