As ever it all depends on how clinical we are in the final third, and how error prone we are in our own. Middle third of the pitch we’ve been pretty decent thus far. Based on our inconsistency in the most important two thirds of the pitch I could see any win from those games being a bonus, but...

Anyone got a full quote or clip for this? Does seem weird unless out of context.

Was Ralph happy with our transfers in, or does he believe that there are still any areas that may need reviewed in January?

Agree with your point fats, but disagree with the timescale. 30 seconds for me. I think the other thing that hasn’t been highlighted is that 30 seconds or even a minute in some cases is actually way quicker than some of the conversations that referees and assistant referees (Linos) have had in...

Was thinking exactly the same. It certainly becomes a lot lot less likely doesn’t it.

Agreed. Needs to get used to Hasenhüttl’s different systems also. Given that we’ve got some players who still can’t do that after about 9 months, it’d be a bit optimistic to expect KD to straight away. If I was RH, as much as I’d be tempted to throw him straight in based on the performances of...

Agree with this. The problem with xG is that it assumes that the quality of the player attempting the finish in each case is the average of players who have attempted that type of finish from that position in the past. Things such as the finishing ability of the player taking the shot, and in...

xG courtesy of @Caley_graphics Burnley 1.2 - 1.1 Southampton Be interesting to see if whoever does the BBC’s agrees with that later on. Trouble as ever is that we concede very big chances when individual errors happen, because otherwise for the first hour we would’ve been in control.

Genuinely, conceding less than we did today would be a right result v Liverpool. I'd take 0-2 now if offered.

So you think he's likely to be at his peak ability then? Weird, I thought the majority of players peak at about 24-28. Danso may genuinely have the potential to be the next VvD, but even if he is, he's not going to be at that level right now is he, or a club far bigger than us would have bought...

6 times. The last start of which was in November 2017.

Agreed. However, I'd just argue that Danso won't suddenly make us great - the same as Augsburg leaked plenty of goals when he played with them. It all depends on the combination of his own level (which will improve as he's young, however good anyone thinks he is now) and the players around him.

Trouble is, Danso is really for the future. If he's better than what we've got already, that says more about what we've currently got than how good Danso is. Danso is very young, and will make mistakes also because of that.

1st goal, Vestergaard. Was typing that while the 2nd went in.

Easy to feel sorry for players when an individual error happens, but when it's the same players that keep making them with great regularity, there comes a point that you just have to accept that they're error prone.
