Match Day Thread Premier League, Cups & Euro Watch

I don’t think united were great. They didn’t attack or defend well. But they got the job done. Fair play

They were such underdogs that you could have got 10-1 for a win for them tonight. PSG were 1-3 for a win. Lots of people would have lost loads today.

What were the odds on Ajax and United both going through ...

OGS has done a great job so far but their form / luck is not sustainable based on the below:

Goals 39
Expected Goals 29.8

Goals Conceded 13
Expected Goals Against 21.3

Games played 17
Penalties won 7

Absolute bullshit


Expected goals, expected goals against

Real life, goals scored, goals conceded

(penalty's all depend on how desperate the team defending are)

 

[carlthejackal]

That's why we need him to be signed on for 6 years before logic enters the decision

I think they have hit on a good match for them. All the so called biggies have been disastrous for them. Even a Pochettino could implode in the cauldron once he is faced with the expectations. They’ll be really silly not to appoint him.

 

[InBiscanWeTrust]

Yeah, it was first team "squad" players like Mata, Sanchez, Jones, Valencia and Darmian that make up the 10.

Thats why you have 25 man squad

Massive odds for sure.

 

[Matth_2014]

Keeping faith in the youth. Youth or not, United are not going to win in France.

About that........

Wouldn't argue with that

How has your injury list been this season?

 

[moreinjuredthanowen]

Lads the love in for ogs is only to be expected. Klopp got an absolute blowie of a welcome off the English press.

They always turn on guys.

Everything's gone his way bar the game with us where he had 3 injuries

To give Ole his due, if it were us playing our second string or youngsters we are inevitably dumped and get our backsides whipped. When Klopp played them in the League and FA cups he got his bottom smacked. We constantly have to play our best players otherwise we are in trouble

 

[moreinjuredthanowen]

How has your injury list been this season?

Average.

Ox still out
Gomez still out
Taa just back.
Lovrens out is a bonus
Matip was out
Vvd broken rib and an actual flu.
Firmino injury


So so in other words.

Yeah, he got lucky with the squad he was able to select this evening.

 

[moreinjuredthanowen]

CL wide open pretty much ... we have a very good chance of winning it

No we don't.




Have you seen Bayern hone record and our away record

 

[organic red]

A few of the MU lads over for a chirp

All at the same time?

 

[carlthejackal]

No we don't.

Come on. FFS haven’t seen what can happen if you have the belief? Madrid, PSG and Dortmund got dumped when no one gave their opposition any chance. Even the Spurs 3-0 at home was a surprise. We will beat Bayern, as no one expects us to!

I suppose it all depends on the player rankings on FIFA19 or some stat bod

The models are subjective but consistent. And provides useful insight into the quality of chances created and conceded.

United are currently outperforming these models which is impressive but is rarely sustainable.

Please enjoy this good period, and don’t worry about things you don’t understand

 

[The Ides of March]

PSG!! That was shocking!!! I hope someone can inflict a hammering on Manchester United pretty soon, otherwise their gobby supporters in Surrey, London and Hampshire are going to be shouting from the rooftops again.

Nothing would give me greater pleasure than seeing Messi and co. rip the backside out of them again. And if not Barca, then someone like Tottenham!!
