they were probably even in terms of being called, but Benteke is unlikely to even get the ball, it was just gabriel being dumb, where giroud is always getting a shot off from 6 yds away. He does slip as much as he's being fouled tho.
It's worrying we have like ~35 shot attempts in two games at home and no goals though. It won't last, but it's dumb.
Kind of funny people are surprised by the xG chart. Pool took a few of their half chances as well as possible without scoring. We had more chances, from closer in but mustered weaker efforts with them.
Giroud wasn't going to score today. If Theo gets on the end of the Ox cross we're all singing how amazing a sub it was and that he should have started. No problem with the switch, Theo can score a goal like vs Villa where the ball drops and he just strikes it perfectly.
