[Albion] Gomez hyperbole

[Guinness Boy]

The one with the keeper in the middle of the goal ?

The one four yards out with the whole of the left side of the goal open that everyone around me and someone on our mods WhatsApp group called an open goal, yes.

What difference does it make? The only part of the goal he could have hit given his position was completely open.

I'm not being difficult.A couple of people mentioned an open goal, Iwondered if I'd missed something .Because it's not an open goal if the keepers in the middle of the goal.

It's a bad miss, but no different from something our actual striker Wellbeck did in the last couple of games.
but it's not an open goal

Season 3 for Buonanotte, Enciso, Sarmiento and Ferguson, the holy Quadrinity at the time, was being bummed out to other clubs.

While your version is the ideal, I'm not sure its borne out in reality. In the prem you get your initial move year, then need to be competing by season 2.

I think Mac, Caicedo and Mitoma were from a different age from where we are now.

It's not really season 3 for Ferguson or Enciso as both have been out for large swathes of time, Buonanotte is one I fully expect to be with us next season and Sarmiento was never seen as potential on MacAllister or Caicedo levels.

I think you're right to a degree on your last point, but for a different reason. It was different phase of our recruitment which required small buys and big sales to create the cushion for bigger buys and less pressure to sell.

If someone wants Pedro, Georgi or Bart, for example, they'll all be for a massive profit, as would JPvH and Baleba.

Open goal is a general term in football for a chance that’s easier to score from than miss. If you’re quibbling the specific accuracy of its use in this respect then suggest you watch more football to become familiar with the language of. Unless you’re autistic, in which case I apologise as didn’t realise you needed this explaining.

You don't know what an open goal is, I'd be staggered if you knew what autism was

Was it an open goal?

Certainly a free header, which he should have hit the target from.

But to my mind, an open goal has to register at least 0.7 in xg and we only mustered 0.6 from the whole game.

Exactly and it depends who is on the end of the cross. If it was Chris Wood, I would expect him to score and he would not expect to have missed it. A substitute midfielder on for only a few minutes is a completely different kettle of fish. To score he would need to hit the target and beat the goalkeeper.

It really isn't.
That would be anything over 0.5xg.
A penalty is 0.7xg and is never referred to as an open goal.
Mainly because the keeper has a chance of saving it.
But an open goal is generally an opportunity that any shot on target will score.

As I mentioned earlier, our entire xg was 0.62. So it's likely the Gomez chance was under 0.5xg
It's definitely a "Big Chance" whatever that means.
