Haha, my god you actually are an idiot. Ofcourse one shot can be enough to score a goal. Statistics about how many chances a team concede, actually predict the likelyhood of how many goals they will concede. It`s clear you don`t understand what statistics are and what they are used for. You wanted to throw "facts" at me. These weren`t facts, these were opinions. I countered with real facts, you then tell me to grow up. You haven`t said a single thing about maximizing points until now. This hasn`t even been a discussion about that. This has been a discussion where you have made some statements that are false, and i`ve given you the opportunity to persuade me, of which you have done a horrible job.

Amazing specimen you are! Full of yourself... can't see the forest for the trees... stats don't just predict the "likelyhood", they also tell history! Not sure you'd be able to comprehend that. Like I said this is FPL and its about getting points. So when I said city have conceded in 4/5 PL game, these are not facts!!! You should take your medi soon boy! And this is the tops: " given you the opportunity to persuade me"... you are nothing but prince of poop!!! And dont have to persuade you!

City have condeded in 4 out of 5 pl games isnt a fact? Then what is it? And you have the audacity to call me anything. You are just a mentally deprived human beeing. Yes, stats "tell" the history. And it is by knowing history that we are able to accurately predict the future. Is it not?

Now you're contradicting yourself?? I told you the FACT that city have conceded in last 4/5. And hence my first point that City are not "that" strong at the back... thats exactly my point... and then using this history only I said that I won't be surprise that Alonso can score a goal and that through a FK. But it doesnt mean that he isnt their FK taker OR that he cant score from open play OR that I said city will conceded through an Alonso FK goal!

Is it now simply enough for you to comprehend? You are starting to show signs of it so its a progress... keep going.. you'll reach there soon!

I`m going to assume that you either can`t read very well, or that you have poor short term memory. I`m going to help you out here. You said in one of your posts above: So when I said city have conceded in 4/5 PL game, these are not facts!!! I then asked, "if they aren`t facts, then what are they?". How am i contradicting myself? You are contradicting YOUR self. I never said he wasn`t their main free kick taker. I never said he couldn`t score. I just argued against your "opinion/fact" that City at poor at the back, and that even if they were poor at the back (which they clearly are not, stats back me up here), that would have nothing to do with whether or not Alonso scores on a FK or not. And btw, Alonso has scored two times on a FK since all of last season, up until now. Another real fact for you.

They are also ignoring the fact that City's defence has been exceptional against the big sides - only one goal conceded and that was a consolation penalty from Martial

Wow... Your so dogmatic! Change your name to Psychostubborn! 😀

If i were you, i wouldn`t use words that you don`t know the meaning of. I am stubborn, because i can`t accept things that aren`t true to be viewed as such.

Just coz you can't view them, doesn't mean others can't too. And thank god you are not me... you'd spoil my name so much!

Is reading difficult for you? I`ve agreed to that. That`s never been the point of discussion.

Reading is not difficult for me, but thank you for your concern.

It’s comprehension difficult for you?

A valid point was made that it would not be a surprise to see Alonso score a DFK - I agree with this point.

And it was backed up by other points that are not true. This doesn`t concern you? It`s like someone saying they have a good understanding of echonomics just because they`ve won the lottery.

Just out of curiosity, are you a masters in echonomics?? 😀

I think you’re both bypassing the fact that KGFC made a totally valid point initially (that it would not be a surprise to see Alonso score a DFK) and leaning too heavily on statistics.

Statistically, Man City have been defensively fantastic.

They do however, have 1 clean sheet in their last 5 in the league, and conceded 2 to Lyon. They give away chances in every game, as does every team, and therefore it would not be a surprise to me to see Alonso score a DFK. Who knows whether he will or not.

No. I am not.

Exactly, I just made a normal point. Had I known that the school headmaster was there to reprimand me, I would perhaps been more cautious!

My concerns with his post weren`t at all related to the possibility of his claim that Alonso MIGHT score a fk. He said it wouldn`t surprise him BECAUSE City are weak at the back - which they are clearly not and which i have proven by the use of statistics. I have also "proven" that Alonso in particular (and anybody else for that matter) is a statistical underdog to score on a direct free kick attempt. Both of those in conclusion means it`s unlikely he scores on a free kick against City. I fail to see any of your points.

You seem to see EXTRA!!

This is what I said:
"City not that strong at the back... won't be surprised for an Alonso FK goal!"

Where have I written BECAUSE like you've pointed out above. Stop making lame assumptions and then mouthing off utter nonsense!

As a general rule of thumb, you shouldn`t try to present your opinions as facts, and get offended when people use actual facts to combat your opinions.

You are such a self-righteous moron! You are the one who seems to be perpetually offended. No one gives a rats a** to your thumb or rule... so do zip up!

BTW, you haven't addressed my concern about "echonomics" 😀

Its not a lame assumpion. Your post suggest that Alonso can/will score because City are weak at the back. I presented you stats that suggest both of your assumptions are incorrect or unlikely. You then get offended when faced with actual facts.

You`re getting offended and angry when i combat your so called opinions (dressed as "facts") with actual facts. I`m simply defending what`s factually true, whilst you`re more occupied by calling me names instead of actually trying to defend your claims. Like i`ve said, don`t speak opinions and call them facts, and don`t get mad when people use actual facts to combat your bs. If you want to be percieved as anything but a moron, that is. If you want people to continue to view you as an idiot, by all means , continue.

And yes, i have adressed them. You asked me if i were a masters in echonomics, to which i said no. Another thing that has nothing to do with the actual topic. My god you have actual feathers instead of braincells.

I`m not.

Your post didn`t adress my concern. You`re allowed to have your own perspective. Yours in particular is just stupid, which is why i`m calling you out on it. Your continued inability to actually defend your argument just makes my case even more, yet you somehow can`t seem to understand that.

Of course for you, everyone else's is stupid and yours is the best, eh?! So now you want a toffee little tommy!?? 😀

Pretty sure Tommy and tummy are two different things. Another thing you fail to understand. And no. Not everyone else is stupid. So far today, just you and this other guy.

Haha... you didnt even get this one!! 😀 you are so dumb!!

Maybe i didn`t get it. I thought i did. Whatever the case may be, i felt the inclination to correct another one of your mistakes, this time a spelling one. Who helps you in your daily life? Because you shouldn`t be left on your own.
