United (H) Post Match Thread

[NorCalBlue]

Having just watched the highlights again... and again... and again
The dominance becomes more and more obvious. We have finished above them every year for the past 5 years and cant see them changing that for a long long time.

Tiny thing, but on motd it had united with expected goals of 1.06 when they had 1 shot on target. How does that work?

I use Understat.com for xG stats and they had United at 0.97. That site gives penalties a 0.76 xG score, because only 76% of penalties are converted. Martial had an xG of 0.81 from 3 shots, so his other 2 shots only amounted to about a 5% chance of scoring. Matic, Smalling, and Mata had the other 3 shots, but none of those was better than a 6% chance - basically, the few shots they did have were from bad positions with very little chance of scoring, and without the gift of the penalty, they never looked like coming close to getting a goal.

Yes pal. I got it on one of my dodgy football channels. It was bliss watching it not needing a shit, biting my nails to my knuckles and screaming like a lunatic. Bloody lovely. :)

Haha good lad always more enjoyable watching it back after a win.

Pl wont be the same without d silva, but i think with his physique and style of play we might see him play at this level for another 4 years. It would be a sad day indeed when he leaves.

When watching the games back, I always like the different angles you can get and I enjoy watching the players instant reactions when we score.
Players like Bernardo, David Silva, Walker, Fernandinho and Stones are always very animated when we score! Its great. They celebrate like a fan would to a goal. Arms in the air etc..
Sane, Mahrez and Sterling not so much they tend to just jog to the goalscorer but everyone has a different personality so doesn't mean they care less.
