OK, those that don't like xG stats - here are the shots stats:

8.62 per 90 is pretty bad and we are very far behind the the top teams and even the teams below us on the table. The football he is dishing up is terrible - the stats don't lie!

and again I'll point out the obserdity of using a stat to justify a thing, stats only create part of the story. If we loloked at this stat and the xG stat together then why arent Sydney at the top of the table? Why are we not bottom? 
stats in isolation are meaningless. they only paint part of the picture - and they do not support the story you're trying to tell. The only table that matters is the league table, and on that we sit 11th - not great sure but not the worst.

As an exaomple I could take that you've been a member of the forum for 23 hours, made four posts and all have been anti nix crap - therefore you're not really a fan and havent been ever - am I correct, or am I taking numbers in isolation to make what I think true?

Stats can be used to support an argument..

The only argument you have is 'hey, at least we're not bottom'?

I'll go with the stats guy.

I think it's fair to say that we have struggled to get into attacking positions, and when we do, we rely on Kosta to slot it 9/10 times.

To be fair, this is basically what we did in the season we went well in too - but the difference is that we had the best keeper in the league to save us down the other end.

It's not sustainable football unless you've got the best keeper and best striker in the league.
