wolves had more than enough chances to win this just bottled most of them.

Nuno the egghead just killed all of their attacking vigor by subbing on vietinha. wolves have been useless since the 2-3

Yeah xG is joke stat. Based on nothing. 

xG, chances created and attacking involvement... I don't take those seriously.

Do you not use the 'chances created' thing to bash Mount's creativity? 

[NikkiCFC 8,089]

City, Inter and Bayern congrats on titles. 

It's going to be very interesting in Spain and France.

No, actually he is perfect example why those stats are so misleading. He is apparently good in chances created.

the stadium was 80k tho before they unscrewed some of the seats

Also it is obviously a track and field stadium. the crowd is too far from the football field.

Stadiums in EPL are tiny all over still. For such a highly funded league those guys should be on nfl level. even bundesliga stadia are somewhat bigger.
