yeah, he went down a lot in my estimations last night. The Longstaff goal was the pinnacle of their lack of research. We make that move all the time and they weren't ready for it at all. 

 

The 4-2-4 formation he played was suicide against our press

How the hell is Burns header only an XG of 0.19, that feels ridiculously low given his positioning.

 

Yeah I thought that when I saw our xG was exactly 1.00.

 

Between Burn, Almiron, Isak (before the Almiron goal) and Longstaff that just seems bizarre to me.

I think he probably watched the Brighton game and tried to copy that because they played that shape against us too with the two strikers dropping in between the lines, but they simply aren't as well coached or as good at playing out as Brighton (:lol:). Their defenders aren't good with the ball and Ugarte is very bad at build up. Mbappé is also insanely lazy.

More to the point, why are they talking about us? Maybe they want the match replayed hoping for a 0-0 so everyone will talk about them instead of us. :lol:

It's their equivalent of our Other Games thread, where we talk about other teams.

Whys it acceptable during the game? Surely should be like rugby union and have an open stadium and everyone can get on

 

You’ll be advocating for bootcut jeans, Gant 1/4 zips and gilets next.

 

Fuck that Tory shit.

Fair enough. It just feels like they are getting far too wound up about a club with no history or silverware (according to the poster quoted anyway), when according to his own logic we shouldn't be worth the time of day.

 

Obviously that's just the one post quoted, for all I know the rest of the replies on that thread might all praise and graciousness. Although I doubt it.

I agree, but there’s videos going round of them being as bad

 

I've heard a lot about these videos, but the ones I've seen have been them marching and chanting, and banging a very loud drum. There was one of their lot who appeared to throw a punch at someone either quite short or a child, couldn't really see the person being hit.

 

But regardless, I wouldn't want to see our fans chucking missiles or being abusive to travelling fans unless it was self defence. It didn't look like it on that video, just seemed like a bunch of charvas having a go at PSG fans walking past.

No. Reads like an Everton or Sunderland forum. Quite bitter surprisingly.

I was thinking about the Isak/Almiron spot. Could you end up with one goal essentially having an xG higher than 1 because each chance was > 0.5 even though in reality you can only score one goal from the chance as a whole?

I believe so but one for the nerds @Rich
