GWT: PL Matchweek Catch-Up into (mostly) MW18 & MW19

[buzzbee]

should be fun

Not a good stat!
It should be noted that Paul is from Wigan, which is the same distance from Anfield as it is from Old Trafford. Both grounds were historically in Lancashire

 

[Havre]

A stat cannot be good or bad - it is just the numbers.

Or I change my mind. It is a very bad stat and absolutely meaningless unless you can actually show that a) any of those penalties were at least questionable b) that they didn't deserve 6 or more c) that even if a) is true that PT does not have any history of giving questionable penalties to anyone

But just the numbers. A bit like moaning with a smile - then it isn't really moaning in Klopp-land.

Not that I mind stats at all, but this is just boring. And they cannot be discussed as they are "just the numbers" without any sort of meaning.

I like stats and use them all the time, and you're absolutely right about this. Stats are not good or bad themselves, you need to put them into context to determine whether it is a "bad" stat or not. It's a misuse to just post raw numbers without context and to jump to conclusions based on them, it's why most "advanced" stats you see try and use context or comparisons of some kind to give them meaning.

You are correct. Stats without context are just numbers.

 

[Artorius Horus T]

Sheffield United must win tonight!.
45 minutes left, Newcastle player gets a red card
The shots are already 10-3 with 62-38 ball possession
They have been the better team so far

If they don't win this match....

 

[Blender]

Sheffield might actually get a win...

 

[Evilo]

Ait Nouri is one of the most impressive young LB in the game.

 

[Jussi]

Martial...

 

[hatterson]

So why isn't that a dogso red?

 

[hatterson]

What an atrocious call.

 

[Aladyyn]

How can they give Shaw a yellow there?

 

[The Abusement Park]

Are you f***ing kidding me.

 

[East Coast Bias]

mAnChEsTeR uNiTeD get all the calls

 

[Havre]

Love Ait.

So much pace up front for Everton

 

[Gecklund]

Awful f***ing call that should have been a red on Brady and nothing on Shaw.

 

[The Abusement Park]

I thought you could only call back a play for something like that if it's a missed red card?

 

[Gecklund]

I thought you could only call back a play for something like that if it's a red card?

Yep I thought so to but apparently we are just making shit up as we go

 

[Gecklund]

Absolute clown show from the ref here.

 

[gnr25]

So what would have been a red card offence is not penalized because of an earlier foul (determined after the fact).
There were no goals scored.

 

[bluesfan94]

What an atrocious call.

I mean, it's the right call. If you go into a challenge and it results in your studs going into someone's leg, it's going to be a foul. To see if it's a DOGSO, you have to know if the goal would stand. It wouldn't because of a foul in the buildup.

 

[hatterson]

Another awful call. Defender is backup up just as much as Maguire is moving forward.

 

[The Abusement Park]

No f***ing way.

 

[bluesfan94]

Another awful call. Defender is backup up just as much as Maguire is moving forward.

Maguire extended his arm through the defender. That's why the call is made, whether you agree with it or not.

 

[Havre]

Almost feels like Liverpool are playing tonight

You can only go back if it's a red card offense if I'm not mistaken. Which means either Shaw should be off or we should've gotten the free kick off the counter.
