Norwich (H) Post-Match Thread

[balotelli's back pocket]

De Bruyne didn't assist Mahrez today. Their player backheeled it.

But he was robbed of an assist against Arsenal away this season, where he ran to the byline and crossed it low with his left for Sterling to tap it in.

But because the ball took a deflection they took it off him.

Fernandes was given an assist after a deflected pass the other week btw...

@SWP's back cheers pal, happy days. Owe you a beer for that one.

Did you get a piece of it mate?

 

[SWP's back]

He doesn’t get the last touch, comes off the defender

Such a bullshit rule that at the end of the day.

Imagine how good we’d be if we had Henderson instead of KDB.

I have seen so many peculiar VAR decisions this season I didn’t think one more in our favour would bother anybody.

I would think anything benefiting us would bother practically everyone in football. ;-)

Just out of curiosity, when did assists become a thing? I'm sure they never used to be.

The less mouth breathers during these times the better.

1999.

Opta was founded in 1996 and started doing Premier League statistics in 1997/98.

In 1999 they started collecting all these stats and at some point they rewatched all Premier League games from 92-97 to count them retroactively.
