Since the 2-0 win against Motherwell up until the Celtic game at the end of February, Aberdeen had a cumulative xG of 6.74. So for those matches, Aberdeen should have scored somewhere between 6 and 7 goals but only scored one. This is very likely to correct itself in the short term as luck evens out, so Aberdeen fans should probably expect to see more goals soon which will be put down to the "new manager bounce". Having said that though, an average xG per match of 0.84 is really poor, so while Aberdeen should have scored more they still weren't creating at the level they had previously in the season. Thanks G51, very interesting use of xG. What it shows is that our biggest issue isn't the strikers but rather the lack of chance creation from Hayes, McGinn, Ferguson, McLennan and Kennedy to name a few. Anyone who sat through the second half on Saturday which Tarapoa kindly described as purgatory will recognise that issue very clearly shown by xG. Big team found... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the second point is also false, because we also have a better record against Rangers in that period. In the league, Aberdeen are P18 W3 D4 L11 and Killie are P17 W5 D5 L7 . Even if you extend that to all competitions, it's P21 W5 D5 L11 for Aberdeen and P20 W5 D6 L9 for Killie. Yes, but that's one season, not seven. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacksgranda Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 Just read about 20 + pages there, very interesting. A lot of very good, well constructed, well researched posts and generally speaking a very respectful discussion (bar the usual tragic trolls). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hahaha. I spewed almost immediately after getting off the train. Managed to get a sausage supper from a chipper, went on what felt like the longest walk to the stadium ever and felt sober by kick off. Bleezing minutes after the game again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbf, and I'm not an Aberdeen fan so I can't compare, I always got the impression their Semi win v us at Tynecastle would've been a far more memorable day than the Final. Much like, to me, our SC Semi win at Ibrox was better than the Final, as weird as that sounds. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as days out, atmosphere etc go, that day at Tynecastle was absolutely outstanding. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best atmosphere I've ever witnessed but not been a part of, if that makes sense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
