When you start accepting defeats just because your team played well and just because your players gave their best, a performance for people to be proud of… I think when you get used to it, that’s when the big clubs stop being big clubs.

Kai tavo treniruojama komanda žaidžia tragišką futbolą, o žaidėjai yra visiškai apatiški, tačiau sėkmės dėka sugebi grindint rezultatus, labai lengvai gali per pasąmonėje atsivėrusią wormhole į tokią alternatyvią dimensiją patekt, kurioje vis dar galvoji, jog esi geras treneris... iki kol rezultatai prisiveja performancus.

Pažiūrėjau City hailaitus vs Everton, tai mama brangioji. Žydrūnų puolimas nesustabdomas, De Bruyne antžmogis, bet gynyba tolyn baisyn. Kol Laporte pasveiks, Poolis atitrūks nebepavejamai. Bet kai ir pasveiks, liks daug problemų su visais Otamendžiais. Standartai išvis cirkas, Zinchenko pastoviai markina Mina, nesupratau kaip kolumbariumas sugebėjo nė vieno golo neįmušt.

But there’s something strange about Leicester’s underlying numbers so far this season. For a side unashamedly based around possession and boasting two such talented playmakers, they don’t actually create many chances.

While Leicester have scored 13 goals, the joint fourth-highest in the Premier League alongside Bournemouth, their expected goals figures are much worse, just 8.0. In fact, only Newcastle, Crystal Palace and Aston Villa have recorded worse statistics in that respect and, unsurprisingly, Leicester are the Premier League side who have outperformed their xG figures the most.

What does that tell us? Well, essentially, that Leicester have finished their chances exceptionally. On Sunday, they smashed in five goals from just 1.8 xG of chances – of their goals, only Vardy’s second, a header from Marc Albrighton’s left-wing cross, could genuinely be considered a clear-cut chance. Vardy’s first was squeezed in from a tight angle, Ricardo Pereira’s was a remarkably composed shot from range, and there was also an own goal and an unlikely finish from Ndidi.

Finishing effectively is, of course, a very good thing. But the general lesson is that outperforming your xG is unsustainable, even if Vardy’s ability to strike from unlikely angles appears to be a genuine feature of his skill set rather than a lucky streak.

So why aren’t Leicester creating better chances? There appear to be a couple of problems here.

The first involves Maddison, who actually missed out against Newcastle through injury, with Dennis Praet coming into the side in his place. While statistics have been circulating showing that no player has created as many chances as Leicester’s No 10 since the start of last season, this is slightly misleading. Last season, Maddison was the Premier League leader in this respect: 100 chances overall, with 41 of these from corners. This season, his statistics have nose-dived – in terms of chances created per 90 minutes, he’s 29th on the list, below Luka Milivojevic and Ashley Westwood.

That’s significant when you consider his shot statistics. Although Maddison smashed in a brilliant late winner against Tottenham last weekend, that was his first goal from 31 shots in the Premier League (including the end of last season). That paints an interesting picture: for all Maddison’s technical excellence, sometimes his decision-making isn’t good enough, and he attempts shots when an extra pass is the better option.
