You can’t fall back on stats all the time to defend yourself. Chelsea weren’t good enough today, and no numbers will change that.
But Frank Lampard complained about his team’s inefficiency in front of goal after the game, and his sentiments were backed up by the expected goals map of the game.
And to be fair, it is ridiculous. We had a final xG of 3.38, to Arsenal’s 0.56. We end up at 2-2. To score and concede that inefficiently
That’s nobody’s fault but ours of course. The error to allow them a 1 on 1 after our corner was dire
You can see it all in the image below, where a Twitter user defended the manager with the stats:
