Jesus, if you put half of the energy you use trying to show how shit Maddison is into something more productive you could make a fortune. Just give up.
Perhaps had we ayer Maddison where he should have been instead of trying to turn him into a winger or Coutinho or any other such bollocks he'd have created more chances.
He was 8th on the list of top chance creators for Europe last year but, yeah, he's shit and creates nothing.
Europe's top 10 chance creators, 2018-19: Depay, Willian, Maddison... - Planet Football
Players who can regularly create goalscoring chances for team-mates are among the most valuable in football - and plenty of unheralded names have done it consistently in 2018-19.

Yep, he’s a complete twat
It’s a complete load of twaddle based on selective meaningless stats
We’ve got talented young players, playing well, scoring goals, winning matches
No amount of horseshit stats can destroy that

Cox definitely is agenda driven, especially as it relates to us. Sure I heard him say on a podcast recently that City has “the second biggest achievement in East Midlands football”. So, yeah.

Let's not be precious about it - winning the European Cup twice in a row, even then, was an enormous achievement for a club of Forest's size

Yes, I’m being churlish. No less than Cox, who is supposed to be considerably more grown up than me on matters of football.

Sounds like a right knob to be honest.

He sounds like one of those stereo snobs from the 70's (they might be still around) who spend more time listening for the faults in the system than the music they're playing.

Bunch of miserable feckers.
How dare someone use facts to make perfectly balanced and valid points eh?

There's lots of 'B' words to describe you BN, and balanced isn't even on the first 10 pages.

To be fair, I wasn't referring to myself.
However I'm happy to be described as many 'B' words. Brilliant, bright, brave, brainy, are all appropriate.

Cox was on the Totally Football Show this week too, and mentioned this stat on there. But elsewhere in the show mentioned another team - I can't remember who - that are in the top 5 for xG but in the bottom 5 of the league, again using this to argue they're in a false position.
To me, that just highlights the limitations of xG as a stat...
Our players are good finishers, which to be fair they did address, but they said isn't sustainable. I'd beg to differ. Vardy in particular does not need 3 chances to score - 1 good chance and he'll usually find the back of the net.
Cox has already said several times he doesn't think we're as good as people say we are, and I think he's just trying to find stats to back that up.
He also said he didn't think Brendan would be a good hire for us, but had no reason why - and did admit he was wrong on that front now.
I can see his point on the xG thing to an extent, in that I question whether we have enough goals in our team. I still think we're missing that attacking winger ala Mahrez to add in more goals from midfield (or goals outside of Vardy, more accurately), but I don't think it's us not creating enough chances.
