A case in point could easily be the Newcastle - Southampton game today...@Ye Olde Boomer football is new to the stats game on the whole and we fans don't really obsess about them. Coaches and managers are now very much aware, have dedicated people looking at them.
For most fans, I'd say we mainly go off our eyes, not stats on their own. I'd argue that football is a far more fluid game than American football and stats alone really don't tell the story in the way they can with that game and baseball. Any fan talking heavy stats after a game will quickly get asked about the only stat that matters, the score
The score? 1-0 to Newcastle.

There is only one stat that matters in football - the score
Not XG?

What a start to the season for the villa boys! Good game, soft peno but we recovered well.
Expect West Ham to be top 10 this year so a good result away from home.
UP THE VILLAAAAA

You wish
he’s half the age of the rest of your strikers! Kudus is one hell of a player btw
Just about the most useless stat in football. Dyche kept reciting this last year when we weren't scoring. Really quite irrelevant

Yeah unless we convince him to stay by getting to Europe again and keep signing exciting players then he will be off next summer for sure
Paquata is pure filth lol on the ball in terms of skill and off it on being a dirty bugger lol should have been sent off I thought
A villa fan I spoke with reckons Watkins value is as high as he will ever be.. sell him now and build around Duran .. he does look exciting

Plenty of positives today
Killman looked good in the main
Todibo looked solid when he came in
Summerville looked lively when he came on
Kudus was really good
And j-lo isn't afraid to change it up which I liked. Plenty of possession, result didn't come but villa deserved it
Add in AWB and todibo for coufal and Dinos then Alvarez back in 3 games he takes souceks place .. suddenly a more solid back line
Antonio was awful. Until doran came on he was villas best player I'd like to see Bowen returned to up top with kudus on the right and Summervile on the left as they can all swap and play good football

Realistically we need them both, Ollie can’t play every game this season again. Duran also deserves more minutes but he’s 20 and playing under a top top coach, he will go far if he keeps improving like he is!

Plenty of games this season I guess .. he's a cracking player. Exactly what we need can see why we pushed for him
Shame you kept upping his price lol
but at same time we turned to other targets and I'm happy with SummervilleSwango1980

I was surprised a penalty was given, what else could Cash have done? But, we are told VAR will not intervene anywhere near as much, so I reckon that will lead to just as much controversy down the line.
And then VAR decided to ask the ref to review the Everton penalty, because apparently DCL stood on Dunk. He didn't try to stand on Dunk, he only did so as Dunk flew in to make a tackle / block and was unsuccessful. Is that not enough for VAR to stay quiet?

I was surprised Bowen played where he did. I wasn’t sure if it was Villa marking him out of the game or if he was just out of position ?? I’m a big fan of his.Plenty of positives today

Hope Brererton Diaz has pulled through after "The Mike Tysonesque" attack at Newcastle yesterday. What an embarrassment.
