Shearer went on about Liverpool scoring like it was goal of the season but forgot to mention they are the set piece experts of the CL.
When we score a similar goal the media just drone on about “another set piece.”
Tbf to Shearer, I saw a clip recently and he complete rubbished the criticism we have received over our set pieces.

That Vinicius Jr. is overrated as fuck. Is La Liga a farmer’s league or what? He’s clearing 20+ G/As no problem there, but anytime he’s up against decent international opposition; he shits the bed.
He’s usually the difference maker in big CL games tbh.
Bit different since Mbappe arrived though, imo they don’t suit each other.
I’d hate to have him in my team. Seems like a moody little cunt. Always seems a bit sloppy in everything he does too.
Fairly positive Vinicius has done that only once in his entire time at Madrid
He did it 4 times in a row according to transfermarkt.
In the first hour he was Madrid’s most dangerous player, although that doesn’t say much considering how toothless Madrid ended up being yesterday.
The way he finished the game though you’d think he was the worst player on the pitch. Bradley was having a laugh defending against him towards the end.
Have said it in the past but this isn’t new.
The more you get under his skin and frustrate him the worse he becomes, and you can get him to a state where he’s fucking up without you even trying.

In La Liga?
He’s done 19, 20, 19 and 27 in his last 4 seasons so yeah think he’s basically done it 4 years in a row
Yeah, the one with 27(or close to it based on the mixed stats) is the one I remember. That was his best season at Madrid by a mile.
Weird that they have different assist numbers though, surely it should be based on the respective league / competition approved stats.
Can’t just add assists to the numbers based on a different criteria 
I was wondering if it’s just me that got bothered by it. I’ve checked fbref and it aligns with Sofascore.
Transfermarkt must be doing some shit where they count deflected assists or the preceding shot of a rebound goal as an assist.
I know some places count the person who won a penalty as an assist too, I think FPL works that way?

Transfermarkt counts penalties won as assists if the penalty is converted.

Which I think is right tbh, albeit a bit of a naff assist, the action created the chance.
Just bothers me that they make their own rules so you can’t fully rely on them.
Qarabag-Chelsea 1-1
And now a penalty
2-1
Hato is having an absolute howler
