Just seen the highlights, Mike Dean tries so hard for United doesn't he 
How the actual **** did Maguire get away with yanking down Mcginn?

We've made quite a few teams play shocking this season... funny that
Many factors to the outcome of the game, Brentford were very good but many of Liverpool’s issues (not least the goals conceded) were seriously self inflicted and a failure by Klopp/team to adapt to what Brentford were achieving.
Subs even made things worse tbh

Same reason Maguire wasn’t given a penalty in the next phase of play?
Incredible how the VAR doesn’t even intervene on either case.
It took a good half season during our first year in the Championship for sides (opposition fans) to realise it wasn't just them having a nightmare against us, and that we were well worth our point or three, as it kept on happening week in week out. I wonder how long it'll take in the Prem?
If you're playing a team with obviously better and far more technical players, you've got to beat them tactically and that's what we did. We overloaded the back post, Toney was dragging both Matip and VVD into duels, and beating them, Mbuemo was getting in behind, and we held our shape brilliantly.
I think you'd find we are equally disappointed with our defending for two of your goals as you are with three of ours, but sometimes you have to admit that the other team out-manoeuvres you at various points in the game. E.g. the ball over from Fabinho was sublime, and while I'm not happy with Rico Henry's positioning, it is a fantastic pass and run.
I'm just disappointed we didn't win
yeah I got a good chuckle out of those posts
Erm…I’m sorry, what?

Expected goals. Its so fans can say things like:
“but but but we should’ve scored 8”
“but but but we should’ve scored 8”

Spectacularly bad defending right there

Its a load of rubbish, it’s a fancy way of quantifying chances created.
A chance created for Werner and Lukaku have the same xG but I know who I’d want the chance to drop too.

Hot garbage from Southampton, they might actually go down this season.
The public get to see a very basic, vanilla type of xG. Those using it to assess or gamble have access to far more significantly quantitative data applied to individual players too.
Both the Brentford and Brighton owners have become almost/probable billionaires from using xG accurately... so it might not all be rubbish.

What has that got to do with anything. xG is saying "with the average player in this position you will expect to score X% of the time". Better players should result in a higher goal count than the xG and worse players will be the opposite. Either way, it tells you how many good chances you are creating as a team and how many you are conceding which is probably the most vital stat you can know. Shots and shots on target are useless in comparison.

This could be the worst north London derby for long time

Excellent from Saka
