Personally I just see it as another discussion point really and can be used alongside all the other info available... Bingo. It's absolutely not a load of bollocks, it's just not the be all and end all. That's goals. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidcow Posted May 8, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted May 8, 2023 I'm still struggling with the pivot and double pivot. XG is beyond my imagination let alone understanding. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every conversation about football revolves around xG. It's useful in some areas and completely ridiculous in other areas. Also just completely dismisses that large parts of football matches are just completely random e.g. how many goals in a season are scored from bad backpasses or a ridiculous volley from 30 odd yards and then a game can suddenly turn on that unforeseen moment. With the xG metric those goals are deemed impossible and simply can't be scored but they frequently are. Players getting disposed from a short goal kick would be another, we've conceded 2-3 of those since Emery came in. Also a penalty massively inflates xG aswell given it's a free shot from 12 yards hence that Fulham-Leicester stat.

SuperTed Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 Just tuned into Sky and heard the voice of Martin O’Neil saying “to my eternal credit, he stayed at the club.” The bloke truly is an egotistical rocket polisher. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Rev Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 xG fails to account for game states too. You can basically declare when you’re 4-0 up and lose the game on xG, but then the main point of the stat is to identify trends over prolonged periods of time rather than provide context to an individual match. The trends thing will highlight good finishers (who will consistently over perform xG) and whether a run of good form can/will last or not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He always goes on “they lost but had a much higher xG” or “they won with a tiny xG” The penny will drop at some point I expect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 What a half arsed attempt from Maitland Niles to try to cut out the crossfield ball and then cross.
