    If you split them half and half, they'd be third.

    That VAR delay is insane. What if City had scored in the interim? Would it have been disallowed in favour of them having a penalty?

    All worth it for that Mike Dean yellow card walkabout. Shame he didn't end it at Sterling, having already bypassed him on the outbound leg.

    And no, that was the most looking for it of Harry Kane specials on the part of Sterling. Never a penalty. He was on his way down before what little contact there was.

    Lloris well off his line as well.

    In the Spanish second divison today with girona vs fuenlabrada

    67 - sends off player A for a high boot
    69 - goes to VAR
    70 - referee overturns decision
    71 - had to wait for player A to come back on as he went down the tunnel
    72 - player A gets sent off again as he came on and went head2head with opponent players

    If you split Liverpool into 2 teams of 'Liverpool Home' and 'Liverpool Away' then Liverpool Home would be in 5th with 12 games in hand.

    Madness.

    City must be approaching some sort of record on the missed penalties front, although I keep thinking Sterling missed that one against Wolves which didn't count.

    Do City know that they are 2-0 down? Passing around at the back when you are 4-0 is fine - but when you need a goal - perhaps play it forward once in a while.

    Fifty Five Million quid. I have to assume there was something incredibly dodgy about where that money ended up going.

    I just saw that Angelino who they let go on a free and bought back a year later for 16 million is now at Leipzig on loan. Another eyebrow raiser.

    Also if Liverpool win the next 6 games running, they'll win the league at Goodison park, with a trip to the Emptihad just after to receive the guard of honour.

    It's like a Liverpool fan has written this story at this point.

    By the way, is this year the best argument against a 'league where anyone can beat anyone' is a good thing. Everyone just looks distinctly mediocre.

    The xG on the two City-Spurs games this season must be something else.

    Liverpool should stick in a bid for Laporte in the summer.

    Maybe not.

    It is odd watching games from a non-terrified perspective. It is obviously a good thing, but there is something in the dread.

    Maybe they'll lose to Arsenal towards the end of the season.

    You'd have to think that if they go far into the Champions League then they'll rotate heavily. That's the main reason City racked up their mammoth points total that season, they had nothing better to do.

    They will lose one later on when they start resting people for the Champions League. Unless they prioritise their league record over a seventh cup, which would be mental.

    City took over 30 shots in the Spurs area and scored twice, Spurs took 3 in the City area and scored four.

    Won't see many bigger statistical anomalies than the second best team in the league winning it by twenty points.

    It’s the not having to flinch whenever someone has a shot that gets me, gotten so used to duff keepers recently that it’s refreshing.

    Almost as if statistical analysis doesn't really provide much useful insight.

    On the xG thing, I am still fascinated by it. Is the player who has the chance factored into the equation? I assume it should be, but then you're just delving even further into the realms of the subjective, which kind of undermines the whole idea of the thing.

    My earlier penalty pondering led me to this website and, I don't know how accurate all that is, but up until the turn of the millennium there look like there were about 5 missed penalties in the whole league per season on average. Even accounting for the fact that there are now more penalties the conversion rate seems to have tanked. Is that the 'keeper being allowed to move on his line, is it stats men predicting which way to dive (although the misses have gone up exponentially as well), is it modern players being gutless wankers? From 2005 onwards it's mental.

    I think the general standard of goalkeeping has improved. Obviously the top dogs are a cut above, but those playing for lower sides are at least in my mind, better than their counterparts of near 20 years ago.

    Also helping is the fact that all of the takers penalties are able to be seen on demand, so a keeper could spend a session or two brushing up on their opponent before a game comes up.

    It's younger Millennials/the Gen Z generation, they're mostly soft as shit. Also explains why there are so few leaders these days and why Mourinho's ability to manage has fallen off a cliff.

    I came up with this theory in the pub while pissed last week and I'm sticking to it.
