I remember when Liverpool played United in 2016, and Can dispossessed Pogba a bunch of times in that game.
I hope Max does the right thing and plays Can. He's the only one on our team who has played Mourinho's United.

There's statistical evidence Khedira had a great season last year. If you want to take xG and all that BS and believe it to be true for teams, you have to do the same with Sami. Giovinco had 15 goals and 15 assists one year, such a great year right? I told you before and I'll tell you again - xG and specific stats are good only for individual players comparisons who play the same position or have similar roles - for example looking at what kind of chances strikers usually have, their conversion rate etc. You cannot fit an entire team into that. There's way too much space for error and variation from player to player within a team, let alone with other teams included.
When you realize football will never be able to fit into statistical parameters and judged by it like American sports you'll be better off. It's a game of instincts and as such you can throw stats out and just watch and enjoy the journey.

Stats can and should be used in soccer. You just need to include more variables and understand stats. Using two variables to come to a conclusion thinking it's statistically significant is way too common in this sport.
