Ameritoon Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 XG isjust another stat to add context, like every other stat Maybe people hate it because it's talked about way more than other advanced metrics, but that doesn't mean it can't be valuable to understand a match by stats Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sima Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 It’s no wonder Man City get away with those fouls high up the pitch because if you beat their press you’re through on the halfway line. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moreso for looking at trends than an individual match, though imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pata Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 2 minutes ago, Andy said: Particularly hate the phrase "they're over-performing their xG" as if it's a negative trait, when an alternative way of phrasing that would be "they have signed players that are clinical in front of goal" (and the opposite for "underperforming xG"). It usually is a negative trait though. If you keep winning games with wonder goals and by your opponent missing sitters, it usually means you are not going to win those games for long, like that Pardew season. Like the first half in this match, someone says what is Pep doing, Man City are losing to Man United at home. Or praising Ten Hag for getting it right. I'm more than happy to say that xG was 2.70 vs 0.19 and Pep more than likely got it right but was on the wrong side of variance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To try and reduce football to 'they should statistically have scored this many goals' is anathema to a lot of fans. There aren't that many metrics presented to fans during a game which are actually of any real value imo - you can count corners all you like but if they're all being floated to Mike Williamson you'd be better not having them Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
