Again, clear FK and yellow just at the lick of the box not called. With Chelsea's FK shooters, this could have been extremely dangerous.Was it?
I thought it was pretty down the middle except that Michael Oliver told Klopp he wasn’t allowed to make the Lallana sub because it would have been “time wasting”, source: Willian spares Chelsea another disaster at Anfield, even though they badly needed fresh legs. I don’t think the ref was bad yesterday or tilted one way.
Would you say xG measures, for lack of a better word, how lucky a team is? I don’t know if I am interpreting it correctly, but a team outscoring it’s xG is a lucky team and a team underscoring it is unlucky?
They don’t spell it Kool-Aid in Toronto?
I think the ref was consistent. He let the teams play for the most part. The only thing that standed our to me was not letting the sub on, but as I said they should have made that sub 5-10 minutes earlier.Again, clear FK and yellow just at the lick of the box not called.

Ah sorry. On mobile and saw the Leafs avatar.I’m not in Toronto, but autocorrect spells it however it wants to spell.
And in reference to th expected stats, yea I assume that model is underselling the quality (or lack) of the keeper. United consistently lower GA than xGA by good sized margins. Liverpool the opposite.
Not entirely. It undermines the ability of keepers and systematic defending that teams like Chelsea and Man Utd thrive in.Would you say xG measures, for lack of a better word, how lucky a team is?

Yes, I believe they only predicted around 11 goals for Kane last year Lol.When I’ve seen it in the past it also seems to undervalue the presence of an elite finisher. Most of the time that’s hidden underneath a lot of things and elite finishers usually also are elite chance creators, but I seem to remember xG models undervaluing Kane.
Well I mean Watford is clearly better than Liverpool right?Arsenal = lucky
Liverpool = unlucky, cheated by the refs.
Did I get it right?
Unfortunately yes.Remember when Sterling had no end product? Lol
No, right now Liverpool is 2 points better.Well I mean Watford is clearly better than Liverpool right?

Liverpool is exactly where they should be. 6th place with a chance to get 3rd depending on if they decide to bring in a decent central defender in a month.
Strikers can take a while to settle. He will probably relatively okay, but Wenger has used him pretty strangely as well. That being said maybe he is trying to integrate him in a certain way.Any thoughts on Lacazette struggling? I think he's been pretty average this season. I'm not sure if he's worth the price tag. Wenger brought on Welbeck and the team had more purpose in the box.
