straight up brolic posted:meh this is actually a solid point, but it's a lot of words invested in saying that 'advanced stats don't tell us anything about why teams are good or bad' Looking at lots of shots by lots of teams across lots of leagues provides a good idea of how things tend to work. The best teams consistently get more shots on target than their opponents. How many of those shots end up in the back of the net can vary wildly from game to game, but by the end of the season, the teams that win the shots-on-target battles tend to win the points battles as well. Using expected goals gets us to the same place, with the added wrinkles of how likely it is for various types of shots to be scored. To put it simply: A player rounding the keeper gets a higher-percentage chance of turning his shot into a goal than a player attempting a contested header from the same exact location. Expected goals helps show which teams can augment their shots-on-target edge by taking higher-percentage shots and conceding lower-percentage ones. Come season’s end, most teams will end up close to where their averages suggest they should be.

He just says it like a oval office and is clearly 'pro-data' or whatever so it reads like a jerk off piece, which it is. This is the right place to put it, but the article itself is one of like the only close to accurate things he's ever written. e: and it's hilarious that it's taken him this long to arrive at that fairly obvious destination straight up brolic fucked around with this message at 20:52 on Oct 21, 2015 |

straight up brolic posted:this is actually true, too, but the point of the article is that it's all loving worthless, because you can't figure out why/if the teams that shoot a lot and are poo poo (like liverpool) or the teams that don't shoot much, but score a lot (like United in the last season under Ferguson) are good. He's a retard and should be fuckin gassed for sure

I'll be honest, I read the first two paragraphs of that grantland article and they were entirely full of retarded baseball poo poo so I gave up. If he was making any point at all he should've maybe put together an introduction that wasn't completely insane.

I'm not sure, but I think he was saying that a lot of Arsenal and Man city players are left handed, and that's why they suck in Europe.

Yeah I read the whole thing and while the point of the article was nebulous the baseball references are dogshit. Just write a loving article about analytics and stop with the inter-sports metaphors you think American readers need to "get it." F- would not read again. (signing my posts lmao)

Absolute rubbish. Chelsea did not deserve to lose. I thought this was their best performance yet. Disallowed goal was the wrong decision. Stop with your anti Chelsea tirade. They keep you in the job.
