Of course it was abnormal. But the abnormality didnt make it any easier to score goals, so I'm not sure why they should be forgotten (for him or others).
Like if it wasnt real, why celebrate a win?

That wasn’t a “win at Anfield”, no. It was a victory against Liverpool in front of no fans. The reason we haven’t won at Anfield since 1999 is precisely because of the fact we have to actually play in front of their fans and we can’t do it.
Because winning is winning. And you don't know if something is normal or abnormal until you have the advantage of hindsight. And looking back on that season, things happened that dont happen under normal circumstances. So that season is not a good reference point for anything

I said win in the derby mate, so not sure why you've put win at Anfield in quotes.
Should this win be erased?

Ok. But in terms of goalscoring, there was nothing abnormal about that season was there? It was a season with freakishly high goals scored.

I think it should be heavily caveated, yes.
I think there were more goals than normal, especially at the start of that year.
Behind closed doors professional football is not real football for me. It can't be compared to a normal season

There wasnt though. The previous season had more goals scored!
I agree, it was an abnormal season, that essentially discounted home advantage. But it played no discernible part in how easy it was to score goals. DCL did very well that season, and deserves a lot of credit cor doing so.
What are you nerds even talking about

Not Anthony Gordon, you'll be pleased to know ha ha!
Not sure tbh, I need to go to bed lol
That chance he missed was as easy it gets at this level. Either slot it home first time or go round Ward. The one thing you don't do is take a touch towards the keeper as he rushes out to block the angle. Just a bad decision and bad execution. You cant miss chances like that.
That's 2 games in a row he missed a real sitter

Hes a good option for going direct when fit. But he might never be able to play regularly in future which is a real shame. He definitely lacks of technical ability in front of goal though. I dont have confidence in him 1 v 1
