I kind of agree with him only I don't think people are looking for perfection, I think they are looking for things to be more predictable.
I'm saying this as someone who has spent thousands of hours analyzing data and video for other sports... but we over value analysis and analytics, especially as fans. You can analyze a game and look at expected numbers after the game and say that's why something happened but it really wasn't. There are so many different factors and most of them are impossible to accurately measure i.e., the physical condition of the players on both teams, the emotional and psychological condition of the players on both teams and then to a certain degree, luck. And those things change during games.
Take the scum game last night for example, if Mateta and Hughes take their pretty easy chances early in the game, the emotional and psychological conditions of both teams are drastically different. And that's just scoring chances so it's easy to see but in reality, making a few good or bad passes early in a game can have the same impact on both sets of players.
Sometimes it's better just to enjoy the game.
