Here we go. thought i would never do this but just trying to understand how a result like this is possible. everton v derby 29th feb. result 3-3.
everton average rating 91...........derby average rating 87...
so far no big deal. its unlikely but not impossible
everton match day average ratings 7.8........derby match day average ratings 5.3
again the result seems unlikely but happens from time to time
match stats
Possession everton 64%........derby 36%
Total shots everton 36........derby 6
shots on target everton 19.....derby 4
evertons 93 rated keeper had a match rating of 8 for saving 1 shot.....
derbys 84 rated keeper had a match rating of 7 for saving 16 shots....
evertons striker Van Persie gets sent off in the 20th minute for bringing down derbys striker when he is clean through on goal....why is my striker in the last line of defence?????
no big deal just an unlikely match everton dominated but couldnt get the points...it happens right?.....but then!!!!!
everton fitness all 100% at start of match........derby fitness 9 players started NMF with 6 players finishing the match on 1% and 3 others under 20%
all up until the fitness malarky I was not happy but accepted this unlikely result. but having so many players NMF and being out rated and being outplayed a result like this is complete nonsense. Maybe i need to buy a gold membership
Bro don't get too much into the technical side of the game. This isn't real and sometimes you are likely to have freak results. I have also been on the receiving end of many freak results when my team rating was 93-94 and opposition is below 88. You have to just move on considering this as bad luck. You do get this kind of stuff in the real world sometimes, when there are some crazy results or upsets. Don't lose hope. Just keep trying your best and you will get success if you manage well. This is all part and parcel of SM. Better get used to it.
