RobinRobin 11258 Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 Presumably doesn't factor in the other team being fucking useless and lacking heart on the day. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holden McGroin 6581 Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 You factor in the old xH (heart) variable to get a more realistic value. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex 35059 Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 I think it’s probably a useful analytical tool. From a professional / academic pov. I’ve got next to no interest in discussing it much though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Gloom 21912 Posted May 12, 2023 Author Share Posted May 12, 2023 We are underperforming our xG, apparently. Make of that what you will https://theathletic.com/4510071/2023/05/12/premier-league-xg-scoring/?source=user_shared_article Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willock is the most wasteful. What's killing us is set pieces, we're creating so many good opportunities but our defenders haven't scored a single goal from them. In fact, our only goals from defenders were Schar's thunderbastard against Forest in our first game and Trippier's freekick against Man City in our 3rd game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't need spreadsheets and xG to tell you that though. Does this include corners btw? I can't seem to find any information on that and my memory for goals is shit. I did find we have won the most corners of any PL side mind, 249 of the bastards this season! Have we fucking not converted any of them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renton 21567 Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 I don't get it like. I thought all our goals came from scrappy set pieces, throw ins etc. But this implies we score mainly from open play like Barcelona, Brazil, or the mackems? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
