Pogba got 4 assists from 0.7 expected assists on Saturday, so if you're asking him to put in that performance 20 times a season you're only asking for 14 assists.

Thought I'd just chuck that in to the Winston debate contest

That isn't how statistics work - that Pogba got 4 assists from only 0.7 expected shows the actual level of performance against the expected.

In essence, if we take the actual assists vs expected assists as a blanket barometer for overall performance, then Pogba performed at a level approximately 571% higher that what would be expected given his overall game involvement.

So by saying Pogba should play like that 20 times a season, a person is saying Pogba should perform 571% better than what would be deemed average 20 times a season.

This would, categorically and objectively, make Pogba the best player of all time.

And for some reason this poster can't see why them saying this is stupid and look stupid for saying it.

Pogba isn't responsible for the goal scorers xg over performance

True and a good observation, but he doesn't have to be for that statistic to still be valid. You can't discount what has happened for what might have happened in statistics. So in this case you can't say the striker might not have scored when they did. That would be doctoring and would invalidate the results, so we can only go on what actually is evidenced.

And when it comes to the evidence, based on the numbers we have and that you have provided, Pogba overperformed by just over 571%.

Anyone asking for that 20 times a season is an idiot.

Amazing.

Look it's pretty evident you're not anywhere near my league between the ears, son. I don't expect you to keep up and appreciate what's being written when you can't see how idiotic it is to ask Pogba to match the performance levels he showed against Leeds 19 more times in a season, however you want to measure it.
