But at least they've managed more than one attempt on goal.

[The Bear]

We play Liverpool again on Wed night. You can guarantee they're saving up the goals for us.

There seems to be a trend of booking players for fair tackles lately 

[Ric Flair]

Has any side ever got worse than 0.01 xG? In fact has anyone club this season bar ourselves gone a whole game without a shot, I don't think zero shots on target for us is a first either.

Nope, it's a record since xG first started being recorded.

History makers this season, one for Percy and the gang at The Telegraph to turn in to a positive when the opportunity arises.

0 corners as well must be extremely rare

Swansea had a game were their opponents (Huddersfield?) had a man sent off in the first half and their opponents had 0 shots (so would have had 0xG if it was recorded).

 

Watching the World Cup Final I couldn’t remember watching a game where a team took as long as France did (72 mins) to have a shot of any sort in 30+ years of watching football. 2 months later we are at it as well.

Tribute to Motty tomorrow on BBC 1 at 11.10pm (presume it will be on the IPlayer too )

I said this to my dad earlier today. I'm sure there was a game last season we didn't even get any shots.

Pretty sure on the radio they said first PL game since 2017 where xG was that low.

I used to like it when we were 'shit' and forgotten about only to upset the odds and give out bloody noses.

 

We're now that fucking boring and beige that we're genuinely a forgotten team for the wrong reasons.  

 

 

 

Forest above us, Wolves on the same points, West Ham and Leeds a point behind us.

Why are we not listed? Surely we are in the running? I assume we are just behind West Ham on like 7/1

The 0.01xg shows the Leicester player's dedication to only taking a shot when the time is right; these are players confident in their possession. They're not panicked into 30 yard speculations.

Steve Cooper got a slapping, someone check Reddit or 4chan and make sure @Asha is okay

So happy that Leicester city squad,is satisfied,with all these stats…

At least we are top of the table…

I mean why do they & manager believe they are in the game of football..
FFS,you could be bottom of the league,but some fight and spirit to at least attempt at playing football,wouldn’t go amiss..Even if he was boring it would better than 85% of the times we have ran out onto the field…

Rodgers was rightly fizzing and proud the other week,why can’t he get that intensity & commitment in other games…

obviously we played better opposition,but no excuse to offer zilch in their performance is bloody embarrassing….

We didn’t put in that sort of performance when we had Albrighton and Perez in the team

Pretty sure that's him getting cut off mid sentence:

 

"The thing about Brendan Rodgers' teams is that they always have a go-...oh never mind, they're just a bit shit at the moment, aren't they?"

Why aren’t the keepers in this Spuds v Chavs match not kicking the ball back to the opposition to start another attack and invite pressure?

Both keepers can be a bit error prone themselves though.
