Crazy Stat Time!

[UpTheLeagueFox]

We had seven shots today.

All seven were on target.

 

(MCFC had 16, with 5 on target)

[Webbo]

It's the first time Man City have conceded 5 goals at the Etihad in any competition. 

[Collymore]

It took Watford 16 games to reach 9 points last season. It's took us 3.

On only three occasions have players scored hat-tricks against a pep guardiola side.  Jamie vardy has two of them.  The other. Lionel Messi.

[davieG]

Newcastle have more points than shots on target.

[KingsX]

Wilf second in tackles and third in interceptions per 90' across the five top leagues (possession adjusted).  Ricardo right up there with him.  Evans also among the elite interceptors.

Might deserve it’s own thread, if so someone please create one, but the club are now using Statsbomb data:

Interesting to know what other clubs are using it and how successful and efficient to them it has been/is being...

i really enjoyed the articles statsbomb used to do during the season, very enlightening

the belgian fa, augsburg, fenerbahce, sparta prague, hertha berlin, leeds, english fa atm for sure, i'm p sure they've worked with brentford and midtjylland in the past, both of whom are well-known for having had p successful stats based approaches

Leicester have never won their first four league matches of a season - today we can create history!

Great angle for that photo! "Watch closely, Riyad. This is how to take a penalty!"

Lesson learned. Damn.

• Leicester failed to record a shot on target in a Premier League home game for just the third occasion since 2003-04 (also, v Liverpool in December 2019 and v Man City in November 2017).

Are they sure they were shots and not misplaced passes?

[Trav Le Bleu]

There were two disallowed goals, so we did have two shot on target.

 

Not trying to say that make the performance any better, but surely it's a fact. Do tackles that are fouls not get counted as tackles either?  Crosses to offside players?

I guess if they were after the offside then the game is effectively stopped and any shots after those are null and void.

When was the last time we lost a game by 3 goals or more after winning the game immediately before by 3 or more?

Similar performances today to the Palace one. Although I'd say today was arguably worse

[Corky]

That match was also about 65 hours after the previous one and I think they'd had issues travelling back from Southampton.

 

We'd had a full week to prepare for this.
