Falls into too old category although I reckon he can do a job for one or two seasons. It was more put in anger after some game that frustrated the living hell out of me.

Anomaly or not, (I dont know how anyone can say this is possible--particularly when they go on to outline exactly what they did right, game after game, all season long...) you saying that has nothing at all to do with the guy in charge? Was it luck?

I think he had two bad games all season, where he was definitely at fault for goals. I think you'll find DeGea and Neuer have done the same this season. Cech has been fantastic on the whole. Won us at least 8 points imo.
Country: Iceland
Yeah I agree, this was I think after one of his bad game.
I'm just angry. It doesn't show here on AM but I actually start breaking stuff again few weeks ago. Hadn't done that at all since FIFA 2015 came out, what a ****ing scripted game that was. I'm not even gonna talk about it.

Reminds me of when I used to play it online. 3 controllers dead in 2 months.

Huh? Wenger has ****ed up massively this season, no one other than Makingsoulfulhousetrax would deny that and I want the guy sacked (and I was one of his biggest defenders on here before this season).
That doesn't change the fact that - statistically, Leicester have been a massive anomaly. They've converted an unnatural number of their chances etc.

Forget the stats. They're clouding what you've seen with your own eyes.
I don't believe that's possible. It doesn't make sense.
Defensive organisation and execution; a midfield that worked like a dream, with a great DMF in ther that gets all over the place; a striker and a winger who both look high class. Add to that, spirit and belief that the manager has unquestionably played his part in--not to mention tactics!
But the 'chance conversion' stat renders all that meaningless?
That chance conversion stat is a product of everything else working well. The chances they've created have been good chances, and they've had good players taking them well.

It makes complete sense. Do you think Leicester are favourites for the title next season? No, because they've over performed this season.
Not going to bother explaining xG but Leicester are about 4th in the league on that (top 4 is us/Sp**s/City/Leicester). The stats back up that Leicester have been amazing this season - they don't say best in the league.
Country: England
I know you've just said the opposite but please expand? Always see people mentioning xG.

It's an attempt to quantify how many good chances a team creates/concedes. Here's a decent overview on it: http://cartilagefreecaptain.sbnatio...tistics-expected-goals-michael-caley-deadspin
Lots of stuff on the Opta website about it: http://www.optasportspro.com/about/interesting-links/?tag=Expected Goals

I don't believe Leicester have 'over-performed'. They've simply performed. If you set out to execute something, and then achieve it, with all the factors involved, you can't say it's over-achieving.

This is stat analysis gone ****ing mad. Expected goals?

Their Premier League title says that. I'm sure you think Athletico are a flash in the pan as well. The way they both play they create few chances but quality chances.

If Wenger speaks about it, it's an excuse. I heard him mention something about it in the presser for City... That should tell you it's bollocks.

No? Atletico have the best defence in Europe - they concede the fewest big chances.
Leicester concede big chances, their opponents have failed to convert them - there's a difference.

Great stats and superb analysis. Thanks for that. Not really what people on here want to see though. Giroud our most efficient striker. Our tactics better than Leicesters to give more scoring opportunities. Sanchez, Özil, Walcott letting us down by missing chances they really should have scored. Leicester taking chances they've no right to score. Just wondering if all that objective analysis has changed your mind.

The stats do bear out what @Gooner n Proud and myself have seen with our own eyes and have been saying for some time. Wenger's been doing his job but the strikers haven't.

Hahaha, what's this, comedy hour? We failed to win the league again, so you make up another excuse why. Excuse after excuse. There will always be a ****ing reason why, when you have a failure in charge. They find NEW reasons every year! Dont be forced to swallow that sh!t man! Think for yourself.

It's wenger's job to MAKE SURE those strikers are doing their job. If they aren't/can't, it's ALSO his job to replace or reinforce. He did ****all.
