I’d say the right decision.
It’s one of those as a ref I just thought the movement looked suspect on first look.
I have no doubt probably not given a legit pen due to that but I didn’t think that was.
Anyhow woke me up.
Think I’m fine with a draw.
What a player Gordon is.

Pickford could actually collect that. It’s a rather tame shot and yet he does an odd flamboyant save.
Joe Linton not even close
Everton no intentions to win the game, will finish 16th or 17th.
Newcastle can blame Gordon for dropping 2 points, will finish 8th or 9th.
Another terrible game. 2 truly abysmal sides. Best league in the world…
…my arse.
Luckily I’m unwell and I didn’t move any plans to watch that.
They look all delighted. As a fan I’d be sick if I saw that.
Yeah, thigh injury a couple of days ago in training.

He hasn’t dipped, he’s reverted to the mean. He had a season last year where his productivity far outstripped what was expected based on his play and statistically he was never going to be able to repeat it.
I understand why he popped on our data models but I hope the reason we didn’t pursue that deal when Newcastle suggested it was because we saw through the noisey data to a limited player.

So, I’ve got a good mate who just happens to be a Man U fan. I know, but he really is a nice bloke, a great musician and a loyal friend.
He’s come and watched us a lot in recent years, Barcelona, CL final, and so on, and he’s always been fair in his comments about us and honest about his envy of us having Jürgen while they had Ole etc.
Anyway, I’m going to watch the MU Villa game with him tomorrow. Probably a draw would be good for us. Might be enough to keep ETH in the job, and any points Villa drop are a bonus for us.

Of the six teams in action today, Man U are the lowest in the table.
Bwahahahahahaha

Now that’s just mean…
Yeah. Some of them have become tolerable over the years.
I watched the 5-0 with him and by the end I kind of felt bad for him, he looked so forlorn.
Didn’t stop me feeling ace though.

Watched the 0-5 match with a cousin of mine who’s a United fan.
He didn’t even have the Ronaldo goal to cheer about (that was chalked out for offside).

Confirmed Manchester United XI: Onana; Mazraoui, Evans, Maguire, Dalot; Mainoo, Eriksen; Garnacho, Fernandes, Rashford; Hojlund
Low block incoming.
So much for attacking football and being a tactical genius.
Don’t blame him though, he’s utterly shit and has chosen to block his way across
Concedes 6 anyway.
One of the key things about our data analysis is we have a way of looking at data that doesn’t just identify who is scoring well, but estimates the level of confidence we have in that assessment. Confidence comes from the number of games we’ve seen (the “100 game threshold”), the competition level of those games, and the consistency of the data. The result is we can end up with a player right at the top of the quality metrics, but is not someone we would prioritize for a primary signing.
So, assuming it is true that Gordon had a big improvement last season, we’d almost certainly have viewed that in one of two ways
-
The earlier spells would have pulled down the average making him not score that highly
-
we’d acknowledge a trajectory of improvement, but then see the number of games of the better performances were too few to have enough confidence that was his real level, which would rule him out of being a primary target or one we’d sanction a big money bid for.
Those players in category 2 are ones we have taken a flier on (Shaq, Mini), but that is only when the impact of it going wrong are not big because of some combination of relatively low fee and it not being a role we needed to strengthen
Will be utter carnage if United concede in the first 15 minutes.
I suppose this lineup is to ensure that they don’t concede so much.
Rather like how Ten Hag lined up United at Anfield.
