XG is such a stupid stat.

It's a technical version of the bloke in the pub saying "we could have had 3 today..."

Ange seems like a great bloke but his refusal to adapt from his system has completely fucked this team over.

They are all gassed, too many injuries, playing at full speed for 100+ mins. This injury crisis isn't a coincidence. These tactics take their toll. He never had the strength in depth to maintain this and every injury compounds the obvious issue. It also requires players returning from injury to be playing at 100mph which is unwise.

Teams that have success playing like this have much better squads and know when to slow it down or play defensively when necessary.

Villa played awful today and still won, Chelsea played awful against them and won 4-1, Wolves were able.to keep going for the full match and deserved the win.

It will be fun to watch, but without better game and squad management this team will be lucky to finish in the top 8.

What if he handballs it forward to someone in an offside position while fouling a defender...

The goal was farcical.

I've seen some quite terrible refereeing/VAR decisions lately and on the threads you inevitably get somebody arguing that "you think you know better than the referees, commentators and pundits who are ex professionals?!?!"

My answer isn't that I know better, it's that I know a fucking foul when I see one and I don't give a shit what Gary Neville says.

United's fall is incredible, it's like watching a porn star going from cheerleader to milf but being ran over by a school bus in-between.

Even when VAR isn't corrupt it's still shite.
