Rui Patricio just picked up what unfortunately looks to be a serious injury from his own defender. That'll open up yet another can of worms with VAR. Lino would have flagged offside (he did when play stopped) but play was allowed to continue and opened the opportunity for the injury to happen.

Reacted well after they scored, another great finish by Adams, and a decent game so far. We’ve played well, hopefully we can keep that up the second half.

COYR!

Actual goals being higher than XG isn't always down to the keeper. In this case, looking at the goals, it was just good finishing as far as I can see.

Guh. Decent game, all our mistakes ruthlessly punished. Another day we might have got something out of that.

Just not ready for three games in a week after coming back from injury just yet.

Oooh... Good finish there... just offside.

Bloody hell where did that come from?

That was never in question. It's the slightest touch on the ball that's saved him. You can see there's a slight change in angle of the ball from it.

Basically it's shorthand for a team having more luck than normal with their finishing and having a higher number of goals than they would normally based on the chances they've had.

Oh they don't deserve that.

Oh FFS.

Ohhhhhhh! Could have been 2-1 there!

Hell of a shot by JWP there!

Did well to react and get the slightest touch on the ball there, but that was fine margins to say the least.

Blimey.

Gerrin! Certainly don't deserve to be behind on balance so far.

Penalty!

Ooof, decent effort there.

FFS They've had absolutely nothing before that.

Decent start so far?

Understandable team selection, all things considered, but looks like it might be a long 90 minutes this evening as a result.

Starting top think we’ve got a chance of catching Liverpool at this rate.

Liverpool Fulham actually deserve that as well.

Did what needed to do today, Sheffield United as poor as their position suggests. Excellent finish by Adams!
