Double it if he appeals.
He hasn't really had a pre-season, so it will probably do him good.
How does that work? Not playing for another 5 game isn't going to get him any match fitter....
I'm only just gaining exposure to this 'xG' stuff. It's probably the biggest load of wank I've ever seen, akin to the Mantralux realistic database, and yet it also seems to have a huge cabal of rabidly dedicated Twitter fanboys.
Just watch the damn game.
Big Sam has been using 'Expected Goals' since he took Bolton up. It's hardly a revolution, just people outside coaching are using it now.
Like most things, just ignore it. It's the reason I stopped reading the numbers game early on because I realised that the fun of football to some is understanding the statistics than watching the bloody game.
At least with statistics on things that actually happen, you are dealing with reality. Pass completion may be meaningless but at least it's a real thing .'xG' is total claptrap hocus pocus Mr Blobby shite.

Some great banter on this page.
I took the quiz on there and apparently I'm
"Paul Merson - It's not the winning, or even the taking part, but playing pranks on the coach and making sure the lads have a damn good night out afterwards. I've got skills and ability but do I know when to stop? Not likely."
And here I was hoping for Roy Keane or something
He should just give up.
Alan Shearer - Deadly, precise, clinical. Give me a sniff of a chance and you know what's coming. There's a reason why I scored 260 Premier League goals.Quote:

Same team as against Watford.
I've missed the season being over before August is finished.

Really glad to see Alexander-Arnold keeping his place. He was excellent on Saturday. Great crosser of the ball.
:face:
Clumsy oaf.
Lovren looked like someone drunkenly falling over a raised paving stone there.
What a fucking dismal penalty though.
That was a terrible penalty. :D He didn't even look like he was trying.
We've been hopeless in midfield so far.
That's one of the clumsiest tackles ever.
That was never a pen. Shit pen, too.
EDIT: Finally seen a decent replay... probably a pen. Fucking Lovren.
What a shocking penalty.
Salah looked sluggish there.
He's definitely not as pacy as Mané, unfortunately. The good thing is we look very likely to bag a couple of away goals, which should be enough to see us through.Quote:

Called it. :) Sort of.
That's a brilliant free kick.
Ohhh. :drool:
We've been so shit but that's brilliant.
I think I'm in love.
He's nearly a year younger than I am, fuck off.
Outstanding that
:lol:Quote:

van Hooijdonk-esque?
Was just from miles out.Quote:

Hoffenheim missed a poor penalty but over the first 45 minutes Liverpool have just shaded it. They have had most of the possession. Salah should have scored and Lovren has just headed wide but a good job so far.
Grujic or Milner for Wijnaldum please.
Moreno :face:
Good to see that after 5 years of not scoring from out-swinging corners, we are still giving them a go.
Why on earth did the ref not let Liverpool play on? 3 on fucking 1...
We just can't help ourselves. That defending is atrocious - the ball was in the air for so long without anyone trying to do anything.
And can we stop taking Firmino off when trying to hold a lead.
Frightening that some of these tits actually make it in to management.Quote:

Awful by TAA and Matip. Defending takes priority over holding your hand up for 5 seconds.....
They've been playing these long diagonal passes all night and Liverpool's defence was unable to deal with them almost every time. Quite worrying for the upcoming season.Quote:

Entertaining match, though. Overall a 2-1 away win is a great result, considering the number of chance Hoffenheim have had.
Fair play to Mingolet - he was excellent again today.
The penny has finally dropped for Scott Hogan that the England career might not be on the horizon after. Pity the FAI were too spinelss to tell him to fuck off.
