Definitely should subtract the 0.02-0.03 seconds of air travel time for sound waves at typical surface level air density from Oliver to Trossard as well.
Jokes aside, personally I’ma just choose to believe he isn’t so stupid that he’d rocket the ball into outer space to stall, but rather either didn’t have time to react or was planning a pass to Martinelli or thought the half was over or something, and that’s that for me. Onto the next one.
edit: well techincally not to the next one.
because he will be banned for that one.
but the next one after that.
It’s all an illusion when he comes on as a substitute, without doing any research whatsoever and going by assumption I think his goals coming off the bench were divisive goals so stood out more.
I think you’d want to look at mins per G/A when starting or being subbed on to be a more ‘fair’ comparison, but I don’t think anyone’s got the time to do those calculations
His g+a per min would probably be better as a sub, but that’s because he’s quite effective from the bench. ‘Hopeless when he start’ is a bit over the top though.
Man simply cannot stop contributing to goals, it’s kind of weird, are we getting to a point where he is even a bit underrated?
I still don’t think of him as particularly lethal or anything but numbers kind of have been showing a different picture for quite a while now, it’s getting hard to deny.
I thought he or Havertz should’ve been subbed off at some point because it was looking like neither could get one past Hermansen in the second half.
Both did in the end though, with some help of course.
