How many shots did you lot have on target? 3? Oh a real battering. Not that it's the be all and end all but xG was 1.90-0.82.
That said, I actually agree, rotating didn't necessarily harm your performance and those are decisions managers have to take. Thought it was a really odd one taking Salah off though at 1-0.
Yeah their expected goals was 0.82, because that´s the probability of a converted penalty. Take out the questionable penalty and it is like 1.9 to 0.02 or something. Everton were pathetic, but I guess they did what they wanted to do for their €200M investment. They tried to keep the game close and then fluke a goal from not even trying to fluke a goal. That was their strategy. That was not even a counter-attacking or set pieces strategy. It was like trying to win the lottery without buying a ticket....and then winning it.
