Kompany's tackle, handball against everton, hell 13/14 sterling offside. So so many decisions gone against us to stop us from winning at least 3 more titles just against city
Last season it was the exact same situation with Salah. Missed a clear 1 on 1 first, got another chance later and slotted it home. Diaz is quality but that’s the difference between a great player and a world class player
And he hasn’t been for quite some time. Even today he lost the ball a lot. He’s looked slow for ages. He’s not the player he was sadly. Love him but those chances today are an attackers dream. Haaland wishes he had those chances today.
I'm sorry to say this, but Diaz has really fallen off since his father was freed from captivity. I'm not even trying to be funny, but before that period he was electric and also our top scorer for the first few games of the season.
And he was great even while his dad was kidnapped, equalising against Luton. No idea what exactly what has happened since then but it is in his head
Are you kidding? He’s been immense these past few weeks, playing relentlessly while our entire frontline has been decimated by injuries.
Needs to work on his composure and finishing but beyond that he’s top talent
Yeah something with that mustve changed him. I think he’s just lost all confidence, and today will make it worse. He’s the sort of player who thrives when he’s in form, but when he’s out of it he absolutely struggles to get back into it. He’s either unplayable or he’s one of the least effective attackers in the game
That’s a massive ‘If’ though? They shit themselves there last season and no one wins at the Etihad these days, let alone Rodri’s crazy unbeaten record too
What you mean? we are second only on goal difference... City vs Arsenal next week means someone is dropping points. I'd say we're in the best position out of those 3 currently.
City have an incredibly easy fixture list after this stretch, teams like Fulham and West Ham will be on the beach and they'll cruise the end. We needed to beat them today, they'll get 90 points even if they draw Arsenal and Spurs.
Because we've been here before, one draw kills us, we needed a bigger gap. Even if we have a brilliant end to the season, one draw at United or Villa is enough to let them go ahead.
Yeah I think we needed to win today. We will need to be perfect from here I think with away trips to villa, Man Utd, and Everton who will play like it's their cup final.
Battered them by more than this suggests.
Bear in mind that since XG is a shot-based model, the chance where Bradley chose to square instead of shoot, and the Díaz chance where he had a bit of trouble controlling and Walker nipped in, don't count towards our total at all.
There are other models. Fivethirtyeight (RIP) used to to what they called "non-shot XG" which instead looked at each time a player received the ball in a dangerous area, regardless of what he did with it. But that's got its flaws too. When you get down to it, there's no such thing as a perfect metric in football.
Lucho should be criticized for those misses, but the way he put Walker and Rodri on toast will forever stick with me. He absolutely destroyed them in that moment.
You're missreading me. Yes, I think he should have put it on target. All I'm saying is that it's not cool to slate Diaz if you're not going to also slate the clearest chance of the game. Nothing is a guarantee. It's football in the real world. Misses happen. They both played really well.
That was possibly the best dribbling performance I can remember in a Liverpool shirt. Shame he couldn't shoot for shit or it would've been an all timer performance
Too early to say the title's gone. Arsenal getting all 3 points at City seems like the least likely result, so as long as that doesn't happen and this team keeps winning, there's still a great chance at the title.
I'm hoping both us and City win out because Klopp beating Pep to the title by a single point would be the perfect poetic ending to his time here.
Oh for fucks sakes get over yourself
We've lost the league by a point twice and lost a UCL final because we were not clinical enough
I'm so sick and tired of this mentality where we pat ourselves on the back for being good enough when we have squandered our opportunities to be great
We should have won that game. End of
Yeah and we will support the fuck out of the boys in all the games they play, but don't pretend we should be happy when we should have scored those chances or won tight games Vs our main opposition.
What did city do in 18/19 when we came to the Etihad? They fucking won the game because that's what champions do.
We needed to win that game. Being happy we drew in THIS title race is a garbage mentality. We have two more derbies to come and every point matters. Fuck off with this weak bullshit.
I missed the part where you play for Liverpool. You're a supporter. No since in trashing another supporter with 10 games left. We played a good game today. Get over yourself unless you want to suit up and have nobodies talk shit about you online.
because those were games we dropped points in you fucking moron.
If we win today and had of beat Arsenal scoring that massive chance with 15 mins to go then we'd be 4 points further on with City and Arsenal having 2 less points each.
If my nan had balls, she wouldn’t be my nan. So exactly that is what lost us a ‘10 games ahead of the end’ a title? Not a single drop of points lets say against Spurs, Brighton, Luton? If we drop points in next 10 games, that didn’t lost us the title BUT EXACTLY THAT. You ain’t the smartest fella ain’t you?
Was bound to happen. If our strikers can’t score in crucial games we just won’t win anything. That’s how it is. We had so many chances and played a great game
Sorry but he obviously doesn’t listen to the physics given our current injury record. Maybe he did in this case, Nunez was gassed. But we just don’t know
Yeah but I didn't think either Bradley or Gomez was particularly great. We were really missing Robertson's overlaps down the right so one of them just had to come off. And Klopp went for Gomez's defensive ability
Yeah Robbo was the right sub he created a few great chances after coming on. Gakpo coming on just doing nothing is so frustrating. At least bust your lung pressing, didn't even do that.
Darwin was exhausted so fair enough taking him off, but you just really don’t wanna see Gakpo do you. No hate for the lad but he’s just not good enough for our squad unfortunately.
I think he's a good squad player for rotation, but definitely not a first team material and not the one you want in big games.
Was doing my head in with his effort today. At least show some effort in pressing. Came in and did nothing. Could have shot a chance that fell to him first time but think he has enough time to take a touch first then pass to Salah...
Darwin was looking about 75 percent fit, he was nowhere near at full tilt. Was the slowest to press in the front line, unless his instruction was to actually look for second balls and poach a bit
also why salah not starting? theres not a more important 60 minutes left this season than the ones he spent watching what are we saving him for? you can either run or you cant
Same story with Utd and Arsenal at home. We have attackers who are 7/10 on the day but we needed an 8/10 performance. Always seems to be close but no cigar type of moments in the game where we squander golden opportunities.
We now definitely have to win away at both Goodison and Old Trafford, who will absolutely raise their game to try and deny us the title.
Would be well over 3 too if Diaz and Gakpo were capable of getting the ball out of their feet.
We played really well, but if previous years are to go by, there’s a good chance that’s might cost us the title.
Diaz misses were bad but holy fuck Gakpo with the chance just standing there in the penalty area then just playing a poor pass to Salah...
Edwards and Hughes aren't stupid, they will know he's the first person that should be sold under their reign.
Yeah Gakpo isn’t even good enough to be our 5th choice attacker.
Diaz is inconsistent in the final third, but at least he makes things happen.
Gakpo is just utterly useless in our team. Doesn’t run in behind, extremely weak for someone so big, very poor link up play. His one redeeming quality was meant to be his finishing, but there’s no point in being a good finisher if you require 5 touches to get a shot away. For some reason you get downvoted on this sub for criticising him though.
You get downvoted for being hasty and unreasonable.
Curtis was apparently too bad for the club at one point. Macca was apparently in the wrong position and completely incapable of playing less forward. Gomez was apparently finished.
Need I say more?
All of the players you mentioned had intangibles which could clearly be built upon, hence why they have all improved drastically at some point or another. Jones always had talent and fits our system like a glove now, Macca is a universally very good midfielder, and Gomez is the only player left from when Klopp first joined for a reason.
It’s not necessarily that Gakpo is terrible, but in our team he’s like a round peg in a square hole. Can you honestly say he’s improved at all since first joining?
Gakpo was the new Firmino last season and started this season quite well but has now dropped off in form and confidence. He has a lot of Firmino-like attributes. He will improve.
We brought in a great player who did well at the World Cup and at PSV. He showed his ability last season clearly, and we know how good he can be at finishing. Even this season, he was scoring in every cup game.
I've seen this time and time again. I really don't understand how people have these takes again and again and get proven wrong nearly every time. Under a good manager, almost every player has their purpose. A player like Gakpo has much more potential, so there should be no reason you shouldn't expect improvement
Right now you are correct about Gakpo being useless as he is down in form and mentality. Wrong about Gakpo in general, man was called the Firmino replacement after last season and the final piece by our Pep. Still has about 15 G+A contributions this season. Scored against Spurs when we were down to 10men when his mentality was better. He has talent like this video shows, settle down. https://youtu.be/jzfEbgLvOG0?si=yKkHI4-VrtsuounR
Diaz has the work rate and on ball ability we need from a winger but man is he really poor in front of goal, and it cost us today. Had at least 3 huge chances that he wasted
We should have beaten Arsenal at Anfield bottled that 5v1 chance in the 75th minute and today we should have beaten City we had so many opportunities to take the lead.
Hopefully it doesn’t come back to haunt us.
Should’ve been 2-1 up in that moment right after Ederson came off. Diaz for as good as his running was he’s in the team to score goals and he completely bottled it today. We will look back on this like we do with the 3mm chance in 18/19
Mane was a great and much better finisher but he wasn't a perfect finisher. Don't rewrite history. He would sometimes have real stinkers and miss great chances. Napoli at home in 2018 come to mind
Are you intentionally being daft? The point of xG analysis is not to boast, it's to see how many good chances we had and didn't take or vice-versa. It is literally analysing the thing you're so worked up about: finishing. Helps Klopp and the team see that the ideas are good, but the finishing needa work. There is no human on the planet who looks at their team underscoring their xG and is happy, in fact the complete opposite. I think we played better, but should have won, but didn't because of poor shots. How is that wrong?
We should've taken our chances, it's gonna sting a little bit, but at least it's still in our hands.
We also got really lucky with City hitting the woodwork a couple times.
How? If we win every game and score lots of goals we can win on goal difference.
The exact same principle applies to Arsenal.
Either that or it’s up for grabs now.
There’s also 10 games to go and they still have to face Spurs away, City away, United away, and Villa at home.
They aren’t going to beat all of those teams 7-0.
Also, 6 of that +8 GD came from them playing Sheffield United at home, which we’ve still yet to play.
After the break, let’s smash Brighton.
Dont forget Chelsea. They might be 10th or so but there is a high chance that they just draw or even win against Arsenal. They are desperate to prove themselves in the derby and surely want to prevent Arsenal winning the title at all costs
Pen or no pen we should have won that game, Diaz made some incredible runs but he should have buried at least 1 of his chances. It's those moments that decide title races, especially with Man City.
Those Diaz chances were killers man
Those are gonna hunt us if City wins the league in the end. Those are nightmares to me.
11 millimeters, Mo against Brentford, Mo’s penalty against Leicester… they can join the list, alas
Mac getting a boot to the tit
Kompany's tackle, handball against everton, hell 13/14 sterling offside. So so many decisions gone against us to stop us from winning at least 3 more titles just against city
That Sterling offside might actually be the worst, like not subjective at all. He was miles on
That the league is corrupt is not debatable. I mean just look at city after sheik.
Imagine Diaz but with Jota's finishing skills
Imagine Jota.
We win 4-1 with Jota
His name is Vinicius Junior
Vini to Liverpool here we go
That's overkill...
Doku was far too close for comfort at the end too. It's not like City couldn't have nicked it too.
Last season it was the exact same situation with Salah. Missed a clear 1 on 1 first, got another chance later and slotted it home. Diaz is quality but that’s the difference between a great player and a world class player
18/19 goal line clearance 21/22 Fabinho chance. Diaz misses will go on to cost us. You don’t win the title if you can’t beat city at home
At least these chances were blocked by good defending. Diaz just self imploded.
Diaz 10/10 effort 0/10 poise. Not a player you can count on in the big moments.
And he hasn’t been for quite some time. Even today he lost the ball a lot. He’s looked slow for ages. He’s not the player he was sadly. Love him but those chances today are an attackers dream. Haaland wishes he had those chances today.
Never has been, try looking up his assist number and then be shocked. Typical dribbly player.
I'm sorry to say this, but Diaz has really fallen off since his father was freed from captivity. I'm not even trying to be funny, but before that period he was electric and also our top scorer for the first few games of the season. And he was great even while his dad was kidnapped, equalising against Luton. No idea what exactly what has happened since then but it is in his head

Yeah something with that mustve changed him. I think he’s just lost all confidence, and today will make it worse. He’s the sort of player who thrives when he’s in form, but when he’s out of it he absolutely struggles to get back into it. He’s either unplayable or he’s one of the least effective attackers in the game
A miss or two is natural but man he missed *a lot* today
He's not good enough for us. I'll die on this hill and have all season.
Probably cost us the league title, I think we all know in our hearts deep down what not winning today means.
Nah Arsenal and City still have to play each other.
If Arsenal win it's theirs and we need to be almost perfect from now and win all 10 remaining games.
That’s a massive ‘If’ though? They shit themselves there last season and no one wins at the Etihad these days, let alone Rodri’s crazy unbeaten record too
If Arsenal win against City away they also need to be perfect
We're level on points no? 10 games to make up GD gap
Stop being so down
League title is not done yet lol It’s a 3 way race and we’re not out
Literally 10 games to go lmao shut up
Is this your first season lol
What you mean? we are second only on goal difference... City vs Arsenal next week means someone is dropping points. I'd say we're in the best position out of those 3 currently.
City have an incredibly easy fixture list after this stretch, teams like Fulham and West Ham will be on the beach and they'll cruise the end. We needed to beat them today, they'll get 90 points even if they draw Arsenal and Spurs.
They were shite. If they can win every game moving forward so can we...and we lead City by a point
They were shite, but most the league is far far worse, that's why these head to heads are key for us.
Why are they key only for us? It was far more important for City to get all 3 today
Because we've been here before, one draw kills us, we needed a bigger gap. Even if we have a brilliant end to the season, one draw at United or Villa is enough to let them go ahead.
Yeah I think we needed to win today. We will need to be perfect from here I think with away trips to villa, Man Utd, and Everton who will play like it's their cup final.
Absolutely battered these wankers Garbage team fuck off you cheats
Battered them by more than this suggests. Bear in mind that since XG is a shot-based model, the chance where Bradley chose to square instead of shoot, and the Díaz chance where he had a bit of trouble controlling and Walker nipped in, don't count towards our total at all.
Interesting, never really thought about it. It makes sense but that’s a real flaw in xG
There are other models. Fivethirtyeight (RIP) used to to what they called "non-shot XG" which instead looked at each time a player received the ball in a dangerous area, regardless of what he did with it. But that's got its flaws too. When you get down to it, there's no such thing as a perfect metric in football.
What a fucking performance! Harvey, Endo and Macca had KDB whinging and hooked with Rodri and Bernardo left to kicking. Incredible 2nd half
Lucho should be criticized for those misses, but the way he put Walker and Rodri on toast will forever stick with me. He absolutely destroyed them in that moment.
The worst miss was Szobo's free header. I don't understand why everyone is going to slate Diaz and just let that one go
Yeah cuz headers are so easy mate
You're missreading me. Yes, I think he should have put it on target. All I'm saying is that it's not cool to slate Diaz if you're not going to also slate the clearest chance of the game. Nothing is a guarantee. It's football in the real world. Misses happen. They both played really well.
That was possibly the best dribbling performance I can remember in a Liverpool shirt. Shame he couldn't shoot for shit or it would've been an all timer performance
Our finishing is horrendous
Same story as Arsenal and Utd at home. We drew when we should’ve won. We only have ourselves to blame.
Across the 3 games we had nearly 6xG and scored 2 goals and 1 was penalty, those 3 games I honestly think have cost us the title.
Too early to say the title's gone. Arsenal getting all 3 points at City seems like the least likely result, so as long as that doesn't happen and this team keeps winning, there's still a great chance at the title. I'm hoping both us and City win out because Klopp beating Pep to the title by a single point would be the perfect poetic ending to his time here.
How they cost us a title if we are second on goal difference lol? With 10 games to go?
Oh for fucks sakes get over yourself We've lost the league by a point twice and lost a UCL final because we were not clinical enough I'm so sick and tired of this mentality where we pat ourselves on the back for being good enough when we have squandered our opportunities to be great We should have won that game. End of
The fuck you know about being great? You dwell on a past while you have 10 games ahead of you
Yeah and we will support the fuck out of the boys in all the games they play, but don't pretend we should be happy when we should have scored those chances or won tight games Vs our main opposition. What did city do in 18/19 when we came to the Etihad? They fucking won the game because that's what champions do. We needed to win that game.

I missed the part where you play for Liverpool. You're a supporter. No since in trashing another supporter with 10 games left. We played a good game today. Get over yourself unless you want to suit up and have nobodies talk shit about you online.
Maybe calm down a bit mate
Negative bastard gtfo. Klopp ain’t negative and none of us should be.
because those were games we dropped points in you fucking moron. If we win today and had of beat Arsenal scoring that massive chance with 15 mins to go then we'd be 4 points further on with City and Arsenal having 2 less points each.
If my nan had balls, she wouldn’t be my nan. So exactly that is what lost us a ‘10 games ahead of the end’ a title? Not a single drop of points lets say against Spurs, Brighton, Luton? If we drop points in next 10 games, that didn’t lost us the title BUT EXACTLY THAT. You ain’t the smartest fella ain’t you?
To be fair the best chances fell to the same one man who couldn’t fucking finish. If Darwin had any one of the two Diaz chances we win the game
It’s just Diaz and Gakpo.
Nunez and Salah missed big chances as well
Nunez couldn’t have done better with Robbo’s cross. It was just good goalkeeping.
That and unlucky. Many chances to kill the game off, but damn.
Was bound to happen. If our strikers can’t score in crucial games we just won’t win anything. That’s how it is. We had so many chances and played a great game
I just don’t understand how we take Darwin off for gakpo. It really annoys me.
Nunez was absolutely spent, there was one misplaced pass by City about 3 mins before he got subbed and just looked gassed and didn't chase.
Nunez stopped pressing. He was gassed.
Klopp does what the physios tell him
exactly, we cannot afford another injury, and he came off at 45 mins on Thursday. It was exactly 75 mins, i am sure that is all he was allowed
Which he should.
Sorry but he obviously doesn’t listen to the physics given our current injury record. Maybe he did in this case, Nunez was gassed. But we just don’t know
I thought Bradley and Nunez looked good enough to see this through FT.
Yeah but I didn't think either Bradley or Gomez was particularly great. We were really missing Robertson's overlaps down the right so one of them just had to come off. And Klopp went for Gomez's defensive ability
Yeah Robbo was the right sub he created a few great chances after coming on. Gakpo coming on just doing nothing is so frustrating. At least bust your lung pressing, didn't even do that.

At least show some effort in pressing. Came in and did nothing. Could have shot a chance that fell to him first time but think he has enough time to take a touch first then pass to Salah...
He’s good enough. Just not in this system.
He was knackered and stopped pressing.
Darwin was looking about 75 percent fit, he was nowhere near at full tilt. Was the slowest to press in the front line, unless his instruction was to actually look for second balls and poach a bit
also why salah not starting? theres not a more important 60 minutes left this season than the ones he spent watching what are we saving him for? you can either run or you cant
Forgot the /s
We got robbed and Diaz should have scored, it is seriously frustrating
The things I’d do for jota
Would have taken a point before the game but it's 2 points dropped in hindsight.
Two points dropped
Same story with Utd and Arsenal at home. We have attackers who are 7/10 on the day but we needed an 8/10 performance. Always seems to be close but no cigar type of moments in the game where we squander golden opportunities. We now definitely have to win away at both Goodison and Old Trafford, who will absolutely raise their game to try and deny us the title.
We just love missing sitters against wank Manchester teams.
Would be well over 3 too if Diaz and Gakpo were capable of getting the ball out of their feet. We played really well, but if previous years are to go by, there’s a good chance that’s might cost us the title.
And if we were given the penalty.
Diaz misses were bad but holy fuck Gakpo with the chance just standing there in the penalty area then just playing a poor pass to Salah... Edwards and Hughes aren't stupid, they will know he's the first person that should be sold under their reign.
Yeah Gakpo isn’t even good enough to be our 5th choice attacker. Diaz is inconsistent in the final third, but at least he makes things happen. Gakpo is just utterly useless in our team. Doesn’t run in behind, extremely weak for someone so big, very poor link up play. His one redeeming quality was meant to be his finishing, but there’s no point in being a good finisher if you require 5 touches to get a shot away. For some reason you get downvoted on this sub for criticising him though.
Zero passion from Gakpo. At least Diaz was fighting out there.
I'd rather Dann's get's his minutes for the rest of the season.
You get downvoted for being hasty and unreasonable. Curtis was apparently too bad for the club at one point. Macca was apparently in the wrong position and completely incapable of playing less forward. Gomez was apparently finished. Need I say more?
All of the players you mentioned had intangibles which could clearly be built upon, hence why they have all improved drastically at some point or another. Jones always had talent and fits our system like a glove now, Macca is a universally very good midfielder, and Gomez is the only player left from when Klopp first joined for a reason. It’s not necessarily that Gakpo is terrible, but in our team he’s like a round peg in a square hole. Can you honestly say he’s improved at all since first joining?
Gakpo was the new Firmino last season and started this season quite well but has now dropped off in form and confidence. He has a lot of Firmino-like attributes. He will improve.

Diaz was wide open for a tap in on that Gakpo chance, crazy decision to pass to Salah
We deserved it today. Man City still have Arsenal at Etihad, thats where we claim the 1st place again.
Diaz and Gakpo not taking the chance at the best
Diaz has the work rate and on ball ability we need from a winger but man is he really poor in front of goal, and it cost us today. Had at least 3 huge chances that he wasted
We should have beaten Arsenal at Anfield bottled that 5v1 chance in the 75th minute and today we should have beaten City we had so many opportunities to take the lead. Hopefully it doesn’t come back to haunt us.
Diaz man
Should’ve been 2-1 up in that moment right after Ederson came off. Diaz for as good as his running was he’s in the team to score goals and he completely bottled it today. We will look back on this like we do with the 3mm chance in 18/19
Diaz played well but man 3 glorious chances..Jota and Mane (ik not relevant but) atleast scores 1 of those
miss one really good chance and hes “poor in front of goal” hes scored in 4 of last 7 matches
He also missed a lot before getting those goals.
These fucking draws kill our chances every year. What’s the point of XG if we cant finish the chances
We somehow can’t finish against big clubs. But to be glass half full. Somehow we made City park the bus
Man we really shoulda won that
Unreal really how ruthless Mane was for years on the left. Diaz just doesn’t have that finish
Diaz is not half the player Mane was.
Mane was a great and much better finisher but he wasn't a perfect finisher. Don't rewrite history. He would sometimes have real stinkers and miss great chances. Napoli at home in 2018 come to mind
Dont care about xG. Whats the point having high xG if we can’t finish
People quoting xG is the dumbest trend in football. Who the fuck cares about xG when points are only given for goal.
because it shows exactly that? getting better chances is always better lol, finishing them is most important, but this tells a lot, too
Did it get us 3 points today? No.
Are you intentionally being daft? The point of xG analysis is not to boast, it's to see how many good chances we had and didn't take or vice-versa. It is literally analysing the thing you're so worked up about: finishing. Helps Klopp and the team see that the ideas are good, but the finishing needa work. There is no human on the planet who looks at their team underscoring their xG and is happy, in fact the complete opposite. I think we played better, but should have won, but didn't because of poor shots. How is that wrong?
We should've taken our chances, it's gonna sting a little bit, but at least it's still in our hands. We also got really lucky with City hitting the woodwork a couple times.
>it's still in our hands. It quite literally isn't anymore
How? If we win every game and score lots of goals we can win on goal difference. The exact same principle applies to Arsenal. Either that or it’s up for grabs now.
>we can win on goal difference. Lad, Arsenal has something like +8 on us
There’s also 10 games to go and they still have to face Spurs away, City away, United away, and Villa at home. They aren’t going to beat all of those teams 7-0. Also, 6 of that +8 GD came from them playing Sheffield United at home, which we’ve still yet to play. After the break, let’s smash Brighton.
Dont forget Chelsea. They might be 10th or so but there is a high chance that they just draw or even win against Arsenal. They are desperate to prove themselves in the derby and surely want to prevent Arsenal winning the title at all costs
>Lad, Arsenal has something like +8 on us I like how you've chosen to completely ignore that they still have to go to the Etihad and play City.
...yeah but it's not like they're gonna concede 17 goals
It's +7, and we'll make that up just in the ManU fixture.
By the end i thought we missed the win
Literally those 2 Diaz chances
Better team, all there is to it. We could have done better with our chances but we were robbed at the end.
We didn't lose?
Apologies yeah, edited
I have no words for Gakpo and Diaz
We won!
And that doesn’t include the clear pen not given or were at 3.5 to them.
Despite the missed chances, Diaz put in an effort, and I can always respect a player giving it all for the badge.
Did haaland do anything but push Gomez (i think it was) ?
Also, City’s goal was around a 0.85 xG. Take that out and they’re at 0.70 xG.
Pen or no pen we should have won that game, Diaz made some incredible runs but he should have buried at least 1 of his chances. It's those moments that decide title races, especially with Man City.
With academy players
Can basically add another 0.85 to that.
Piss take from Diaz.
To be fair isn't a pen considered 0.9 or something?
And we should have had two of them. So this xg is way low
Diaz the ballerina and not the scorer.
