Lost a tight game by a single goal against a poor side.

Can’t say I noticed Bagan too much to be honest, but I didn’t see Sang do anything particularly impressive and his effort for their second goal was weak.

Bagan did well and almost scored and I thought Sang had a decent game although not faultless by any stretch of the imagination. I can see we're not going to agree but I strongly believe 4/10 is way over the top for both of them

Very detailed breakdown of the stats, I've not seen that site before.
Not keen on the gallery format of presenting it, but the content is great.

expectd threat is a pretty interesting metric, and its great to see that broken down per player for passes and dribbles, with +ve and -ve shown.
It can be seen that Bacuna didn't have a very good game.

I did find it odd that they said that Bacuna started as a "false 9" behind 2 strikers - that's not my understanding of a false 9?!

Game state can also lead to misleading stats, as when one side is chasing the game they ten to do more attacking and have better looking stats, but I tihnk even accounting for that, on another day we could have left with 1 or even 3 points. Their shots almost ll went it, ours didn't.
