They have even said if a club wishes to have alcoholic ones in the changing room then they are free to supply themselves with it as has always been the case. Many footballer don’t drink these days because they are athletes and quite simply it effects their performance to have it in their diet, and that is one of the reasons why the FA are doing this.

Disco Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 xG will always be somewhat lousy until it’s weighted by shooter which is nye on impossible as even then the best player is stil liable to a brainfart. Saying that it’s still miles better than shots attempted or shots on target though. As with all stats they’re worthless without watching the game. Possession being the age old example.
