[MENTION=6886]Bozza[/MENTION], you do the math(s).
I would be interested to try to understand what that means. He scored that goal in large part because Burn wasn’t watching the ball as he turned. The probability of scoring for any striker is a lot more than 3 % given that standard of defending.
xG will indicate the difficulty in a scoring chance. However I'm not sure it factors in the quality of the striker taking the shot
It was a tactical masterclass from the old stager. What a way to wind down what has been a long successful managerial career. Fair play to the old boy.
After Liverpool played Palace earlier this season a friend of mine told me Palace didn't have a single touch in the Liverpool box and that was the first time that had happened since they had been collecting that stat.
Palace had 5 touches in Liverpool’s area when they lost 7-0. Based on the stats, the game against us was actually more one sided than that one.
We had a lot of that game, we had a go. It was a good game. Monday was nothing like that. I've never seen a team as petrified as palace on Monday.Unlucky.
The game reminded me a little bit of the match at Selhurst in 2019. We had all the play, possession, stats and shots but managed to lose the game 1-2.
Seem to remember the little french rat should have been sent off early doors but the ref bottled it, Then went on to score a cracking goal to win it 1-2 with your 2nd or 3rd shot on target, Way it goes sometimes eh.
By the way I'm still smiling now, Some way to win a game that Probably see you next season when we can get some fans along to enjoy the games.
