But again I stress, not a single big chance from any of that lot, not a single chance that I would expect a goal to be scored from.
At this point I can say we were crap vs Norwich, Ben White had a good game, anyone criticising Lokonga's performance is blind, Odegaard was meh, AMN needs to give up ambitions of being a CM, for e very good thing he does, he will do 2 absolutely dreadful things. Tomi looked quality, Ramsdale looked good, Pepe was in and out, Saka was in and out, Auba was Auba - not a great game but you felt he would do damage given a chance.
There were 30 shots on goal - you'll just have to rewatch it ( ) as I am going to assume that all the major websites like Sky and BBC who also state there were 30 shots got it right).
4 good / decent chances listed above with video and time stamps.
26 speculative chances
You use the term 'expecting to score'. What does that mean???
You mean would NEVER expect to score? Would you NEVER expect ESR to have put his chance away, or Auba to NEVER score with his left foot with just the keeper to beat, or Pepe to NEVER score from 2 yards out instead of having his shot blocked??? (although 2 of those came after the 81st minute I think)
Or do you mean - on percentages you would expect a miss more often than a goal?
Name one chance where the xG is not accurately reflected.
Your player assessment is similar to what I thought from being there.
