so if he played okay he also would have scored or something? i can see an argument for a draw maybe, though the first goal is as much on the defenders as him.
yeah agree re: the kid. he was real bad. classic narrative situation. if they lose bilic gets blasted for playing a naive kid at DM. they got lucky this time.

Definitely gutted that we only beat last years 5th place 1-0. What a bad start for us. Wish we had played West Ham.
arsenal won on xG and you lost on it. so congrats on being the champions of variance.
i'm quite sure you don't believe in analytics though, kind of like you don't believe in any players from outside the precious majesty of the united kingdom.
