This makes no sense So in your world whoever scores the most goals deserves to win. There’s no such thing as a smash and grab in your reality. Chelsea vs Barcelona under Di Mateo… ahh yes Chelsea scored more so it was a masterclass. This just doesn’t make sense, Liverpool did play okay, but Newcastle win that game 9/10 playing how they did with the chances they produced. In my book that means they deserved to win as they were more likely to win.
Yes, I've heard of smash and grab. But, usually who ever scores the most goals deserves to win.
There's no point in having loads of the ball if you do nothing with it, Brighton had almost 80% possesion against West Ham and lost. Newcastle had a man advantage, were 1-0 up, fluffed their chances when they came, really dropped off in the second half and gave away shit goals.
If you don't take your chances and you don't score goals then you give away silly goals you don't deserve to win. Watching that game yesterday Liverpool played it perfectly when they went a goal down, took of an attacker, sat in, rode their luck a little and then went for it in the last 15 mins and took their chances. Thoroughly deserved to win it in the end.
