[Albion] Premier League 4-6/3/23

Soft penalty to Brentford

2/1

Fulham’s xGA (expected goals against) is mind blowing.

On the below calculation, whilst we’ve let in 1.88 more goals than we should. Fulham have kept out 15.35. Teams just miss easy chance after easy chance against them.

They score the most set-pieces too. Spawny gits.

When the difference is that big it suggests the measure isn’t perfect and Fulham have a ‘way’ of defending. Much like how we’re much closer to xgf under RDZ

Soft penalty to Brentford

Struggling to see how that was awarded

 

[Javeaseagull]

I would be absolutely fuming if that had been given against us. So soft.

Just watched replays. What am I looking for here?

Exactly

 

[Weststander]

I wonder if Fulham will be interested in time wasting?

Bit like the Fulham free kick leading to their goal. The way I saw it was the Brentford player was looking at the ball and was about to connect at around hip height when the Fulham player ran across him almost from behind.
Did he get a yellow too?

Bastards, eh?

That was brilliant from Toney, unlucky

If any one of our dozen chances had gone in v Fulham then we’d have done them by 3 or 4 IMO, as soon as they can’t ‘low block’ and break they look very limited.

Nice punt.

 

[Albion in the north]

Brentford will struggle for goals "if" Toney gets banned. Theyve 6 games in April and 4 in May. Hes scored nearly half of their goals this season. Not the worse if Brentford win this for sure.

Fulham are very limited when they are behind and can’t revert to shithousing, they will fall away. Brentford, who we still have to play are much more of a threat imo. Come on Fulham, get lucky again please
