The most surprising thing for me from that article is Pukki's expected goals stat

They are saying that its 1.09 over the first 2 games meaning you wold expect him to have 1-2 goals.

Whereas based on watching our games I would have put it much, much higher than that. I know that he's such a good finisher we just expect him to score and slightly take it for granted and that a couple of the chances he did take were harder than ones he missed but he missed a couple of chances i'd expect him to score on Saturday and one at Anfield (although that was possibly ruled out for offside).
