Seems fair enough to me, certainly we as a team are unable to beat teams at the top so presumably we should not complain.
Our collective inability to shoot on target may have had an adverse effect on the selections and perhaps a little early for Sane and Jesus to be considered.
One of the weirdest rationalisations I've ever heard, I'm not sure the 3% difference in shot accuracy between us and the best in the league Liverpool is really what swung the votes...
