@markrstats It’s not just that the changes were defensive, we moved multiple players position in the defence and had zero out ball with no legs upfront
Certainly a bad outcome but I don’t think the changes were close to an optimal strategy- most xG based models say press for a 2nd goal
@FantasyLeague Please change these rules for next season.
Hall’s deflected cross was more of an assist than Foden hitting a speculative shot that gets palmed into Savinho’s path
Or more of an assist than Bowen crossing it into a Bournemouth players hand resulting in a penalty
Thanks 😊
@FantasyLeague I’d go with the objective personally otherwise you’ll get more passionate idiots like myself hassling you for points 🤣
Love the game and am now a fan of the pod.
I’ll still cross my fingers you overturn your decision🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
@FantasyLeague But OPTA don’t ever give assists for own goals. So that can’t be a reason to not give the 2 points
So objectively…
1. OPTA say Diaby touched it
2. The Premier League gave it as an assist
Subjectively
1. Neil thinks he missed it
