I imagine his salary isn't.

I think if we still played with a number 10 then maybe but there's no role for him. He's obviously good enough though.

Took a massive pay cut. Was earning 200K+ at Madrid now apparently he is on _130k base salary.

Not a small salary but nothing huge either.

Welbeck, Wilshere etc. used to earn about 100k and Ox was offered more than 130k to stay.

Not that I wanted James though but it does tell you a bit about Coutinho who's in much better form, younger and a better fit.

Those guys were younger and home grown so there's a higher chance that someone would take them off us. Even then shifting out the deadwood on higher salaries has been challenging for us. See Kolasinac and Sokratis.

It's definitely not right. Stuff like this is why I don't really trust xG, I get no model is perfect but that seems way off to me.

James having a good debut for Everton.

Also thought Allan was great for them today. Looks reborn after a poor year in Italy.

Allan is very good. He had downed his tools last season after ADL pulled the plug on his move to PSG at the last minute.

Surprising that nobody else was interested in signing him.

Just checked the xGs for our game. Laca’s goal had xG of 0.05? Fuck off 😆

where are you referring for that? Understat has it as 0.76 xG, and while there's variation between how xG is calculated there's no way it should be that huge.

How hilariously bad do Spurs look? We need to finish above these guys. Their squad makes no sense between central and attacking midfield. Plus Kane is still a single point of failure. You’d think they’d try to build around players like LoCelso, Lamela and Bergwin but Jose fancies some trolls.

They look really poor. Would be incredibly upset if they somehow manage to finish ahead of us this season but thankfully I just don't see it happening. They are shit. Fucking shit.

Wherever Arseblog gets his numbers from.

Understand had us as a total of 2,76 for our game. Which feels right given our chances.

The Leeds Bamford chance was probably marked down due to the wrong foot along with all the other markers.

MOTD had it at just under 2, as does Arseblog, which is far too big a discrepancy for me.

Like Klaus said earlier, it's only really useful as a rough guide to long term trends.

2.16 actually, which is closer to the MotD figures.

Aubas goal, typical of his, had very low xG. OTOH Willian's parried shot which got picked up by Laca had a fairly high xG.

Think Potter might find this a tough season.

Klaus

Chelsea's kit is so ugly. Why is everyone playing in their pajamas this season?

Clrnc

Werner will be Chelsea's Vardy. So annoyingly fast and dangerous on counters

Claudius

What a rookie penalty to give away. Just stand up for Jorginho

Klaus

Maupay is so bad. That's the kind of miss that makes your teammates beat you senseless with socks full of bars of soap in the dressing room.

We still owe Maupay and Bissouma a roughing up. We’d better get the double over these part timers this season.

I can’t believe Chelsea made a lot worse than City’s paisley calamity.

Kepa 😆

Chelsea don’t look great. Didn’t realise Kai was playing until he gave the ball away there.

Klaus

It feels like Brighton have been the better team aside from the unfortunate penalty. They have to do something about Maupay though. Can't play a full season with that spanner up front.
