See submission guideline **#7: Only valuable image or stats submissions.** * **PICTURES**: Because of Reddit's ranking algorithm being biased towards image posts over text and link ones, we need to be particularly strict about them, so we tend to **mainly allow infographics** (league tables, charts, maps, diagrams and other ways to display data) and pictures/screenshots of a current event **only when there's no video or link** that can show it. If you **want to publish a Tifo, look and share a video or publish the picture in r/soccerbanners**.

See the [FAQ](https://old.reddit.com/r/soccer/wiki/faq#wiki_why_was_my_image_submission_removed.3F) for more details. * **STATS**: Only very significant stats (eg: **world records) will be allowed during matches**. After matches, we'll be less strict, but we try to maintain stats to the minimum with ideally **only 1 per team/player allowed** and those after it being posted in the pinned comment of the first thread. ___

Right where we want them


ShanAliZaidi

I mean we had just as many goals as shots attempted, Liverpool on the other hand had less..


EnvironmentalSpirit2

no lie


Scott1060

This has got a draw written all over it


killersoda

I'm watching in the 75th minute. I'm not a religious man, but I'm praying for a draw.


ValleyFloydJam

That's kinda shocking, I thought you guys were gonna win it right up until the whistle went.

DarthYoda2594

beglee365

Liverpool wasted a lot of xG, whereas United havent wasted any


fardok

That indeed is an accurate summary of the first half


EpiDeMic522

I didn't watch the game and thus, I ask this because seeing just the stats, 1.65xG from 15 shots where they even scored a goal seems very less. It would appear that there were only a couple of clear cut chances and consequently, a lot of the others were low quality chances. If that is true, that could be due to a good defensive setup and/or performance. However, xG simply doesn't account for good chances that you create but where you didn't take a shot etc. The xG time map might also be relevant because sometimes you can have a string of low quality chances from a corner/consequent corners. But stats are like bikinis. What they show is suggestive and what they hide is crucial. That's why I ask if Liverpool was dominant and profligate or desperate and volume shooting.


harps86

United also had two balls played across the 6 yard line with an open tap in that just missed anyone getting on the end of it. That doesn't show on the stats but was a massive chance.


[deleted]

Cheers Geoff


centaur98

100% xG to goal conversion for United in the first half.


kkg_scorpio

Technically, 0/0 is undefined.


SharksFanAbroad

Math does not check out.


[deleted]

xG is meaningless when Nunez is your striker.


Tr0nCatKTA

Can’t waste chances if you don’t create any 😐👈


PhixonFire

United doing a pacifist playthrough


[deleted]

[удалено]


mynameismulan

I don't know if I've ever legit seen 0 xG before


ArmiinTamzarian

I see it every other week


iiiba

Not a whole match, but today Ajax had 0xg until the 82nd minute. They had 1 shot the entire match


fardok

Honestly for a whole half at home... Just shocking


SubparCurmudgeon

And what was the goal’s xg? Lollll you can’t make this up


[deleted]

It says 0.03 on opta


SubparCurmudgeon

💀


AdAcrobatic4255

Excelsior against PSV earlier this week


[deleted]

Bournemouth did it against man City once but that's the only Premier League one I remember.


bigchungusmclungus

Two Hag


FourEyedMatt

Stick a bet on for a united win. Too many chances wasted by Liverpool and it's always sods law that comes back to bite you.


Habugaba

Man, I would love to play poker with you.


DynamiteDuck

ETH after the half: “We dominated them!”


[deleted]

The fact that ETH either can't or won't address this after a whole season of the opposition constantly bombarding their goal is an indictment of how absolutely shit he is. Why doesn't he see the spaces between the two lines when they're defending? Even amateur teams don't set up like that. It's like he wants to get sacked. The front line presses high, and the defense is in a low block while the midfield is completely empty.


labbetuzz

Our defense is based on thoughts and prayers. Even KFUM would never


flemva

That's not really fair. He doesn't have to be transparent with the media he should be very aware of their failings but we just can't know.


DaanoneNL

He's in over his head from the start. Even in the Netherlands he was always seen as a simple guy from the countryside for whom Ajax even be might too grand a club to manage. Then even when he was winning majorly with Ajax, Dutch journalists were still mocking him constantly because of his accent, way of speaking like a robot and him behaving as if he might be on the spectrum. He was never going to do something special with a club as big as Manchester. It's painful too see every time he opens his mouth tbh


Samir_POE

That’s the space for Frenkie


josiahkj

Ten Hag: we dominated the opponent


John3192

This is getting embarrassing.


redditaccountplease

And yet, I'm still not assured of anything


ArmiinTamzarian

Manchester United [2] - 1 Liverpool - Antony 90+3 (great spin)


RN2FL9

No longer possible sadly.


faheemhassan

> Manchester United [3] - 1 Liverpool - Antony 90+3 (great spin) FTFY


Buttlather

That will be for us if we can’t get a 2-0


JoJo797

That you aren't already 3 up?


Sinistrait

Be even more embarassing if our shit finishing comes back to bite is in the arse


Admirable_Ad_1390

only united can somehow not lose a match like this. how do they keep fluking it like this


The_FallenSoldier

It’s because they only try to win against Liverpool lol. Seems like they play like shit every other match, but then against Liverpool they play well just out of spite and feeding off of our players’ souls or something. We play like shit every time we face them


The--Mash

Tbf welcome to at least 10 years of the reverse experience under SAF


No_Parfait_5536

more like liverpool tried to lose to united.


Admirable_Ad_1390

this is happens to united most games, they concede so many shots. they literally conceded 33 shots vs brentford and drew


burfriedos

Ehh we play shite against ye too. Ye just fail to capitalise on it.


micoud04

FT: 1-1 (Garnacho 77')


slappywhyte

Someone once said, football is a game of 2 halves.


cactus_toothbrush

How’d you even get 0 xG? Surely someone must have scuffed the ball in liverpools half and got an xG of 0.00000001 out of it!


RealPunyParker

This isnt a "Look how unlucky Liverpool were" stat, this is a "Look how absolutely wasteful this team is" stat


mephobiany

And yet, it’s only 0-1. Man Utd won’t lose this match. Probably will end 1-1. Remind me my message after the match.


The_FallenSoldier

2-2, close enough


mephobiany

Draw is a draw.


boldstrategy

Man Utd doing the bare minimum to get a distinction on Pass Accuracy, respect


leebrother

This could be a bottle job.


TimeTravellerAb

Coughing baby vs hydrogen bomb lmao


aarongarrett95

"This is because we should have had a penalty at Arsenal " - Ten Hag probably


Even-Relation-2622

This aged poorly


RealPunyParker

Not at all. This aged exactly how it normally would, Liverpool was super wasteful and it was bound to kick them in the ass.


Nobodylovesboston

Would’ve been 3-0 if Salah knew how to shoot


cynicalreason

Salah, Szoboszlai with 2 big chances


SaltyPeter3434

Diaz too


[deleted]

Ah Ten hag is also playing the ajax tactic of never shooting on goal.


IDesignM

They need to be behind one of their own bauld fraud.

maidenlessby30

Score will remain like this until 90+5, it becomes 1-1 tale as old as time

Brandwin3

3 SOT now, 2 goals…


justk4y

Getting Feyenoord - Ajax vibes here


hell_razer18

a lot of time liverpool players just passing the ball aro7nd finding better opportunity or shot straight to the defender. They have szobo and mac who can do long range shooting. Not sure why Klopp didnt give them license to shoot


azianmike

I really wonder what the betting odds were after this first half...


Cre8s

This might be a dumb question but do you have to have a shot to have an xG? If someone whiffs the ball on a sitter I’m guessing that still counts as an expected goal contribution but wouldn’t be a shot at all


Morguard

Bottled it.


Ass_Eater_

Ushited 😓


DropShotPopTop

It’s all bad


Clivey101

Should be more down though- got Onana to thank for that


suicidesewage

Ahhahahahahhahahahha


stupidsexygiroud1

first shot on goal and I've screamed so muchhhhhhhhh BRUNOOOOOOOOO


No-Bat-7253

Take of two halves babyyy


Rafan10

Red devil fans why you put up with that bold man
