It's appalling. It's literally impossible to get the ball over the wall & down again so he can't score that side so keeper should stand the other. Absolutely basic. We've just allowed him a free shot at goal. Even more frustratingly, it's a clear dive for the free-kick too.

Agreed. New systems, new formations, new teammates & new styles of play don't just affect new players.

Remove set pieces from the chances created?

The fact a CB is preferred to him in midfield now & when Sheaf is fit he wouldn't even make the 20 man squad suggests the writing is on the wall for Kels.

No. Report is in. He has cited Kitching for Head to Head Violent Conduct. I would think we have decent grounds for appeal.

Dazn really is shite.

Yeah, it's a mistake, should have been a penalty. Difficult one for the ref, he's so focused on their constant shenanigans in the box he doesn't realise the ball is actually in play when the foul is committed. Could make an argument for a red card too for violent conduct.

Struggling to give Wilder a single round in that tbh

Superb. Not at our best but didn't need to be. If we'd used the ball as well as we often do that could have been a cricket score.

That looks nasty 😬

Beautiful

Because he did stop their attack?

Yeah, we are pushing very high. Dangerous game.

Well yeah if it's violent conduct or something but pretty logical that you can't penalise someone for "stopping a promising attack" when they failed to do so, we scored from it after all. As always, pundits, commentators etc. trot out buzzwords like "intent" & "professional foul" which fans...

What Law of the Game are you penalising him for? I'd like to see the non penalty award again, looked like the ball was in play before he blew to me.

Can't book him for stopping a promising attack because he didn't as we got the advantage.

Lovely stuff. Well done Wright - O'Hare - Saka Typical O'Nien, too busy trying to foul than play.

This is well on for us tactically with the counter attack if only we could pass the fucking ball!

One other point that's always overlooked is that in those days the games didn't all kickoff at the same time (or often even the same date) anyway. Tottenham, West Ham & Stoke were all involved in the relegation fight that season but had completed all their games the week before.

Have a quick skim through these: https://statsbomb.com/articles/soccer/metrics-and-explainers/ Generally speaking I'd say they're pretty much best of the best & lead the way in improving most metrics. The Statsbomb xG model is much more advanced than most for example...
