This made me lol
TLDR - I haven't looked at something, but I don't like it.I'm like that geezer. Seriously don't give a sh!t about xg. I'll confess that I haven't really looked into the data that goes into - and I'm a bit of a strokes gained nerd in the world of golf but xg seems like bullsh!t to me.
I reckon Preston fans were saying the same when they were 2nd with one of the worst XGs in the league .. won 5 in 20 since
Also crazy how 7 of the top 9 in the XG table , are actually in the top 9 .
Re-read my post - 'I've not looked into the data that goes into it' - doesn't translate as 'I've not looked into it'.TLDR - I haven't looked at something, but I don't like it.

Does the fact that the xG stats instantly give you a better sense of what kind of game it was and who really deserved to win not mean anything to you at all?I'm with the guy in the video. There was a game a few weeks ago XG was 2.25 compared to 0.04 and the away team won 0-1
Means jack shit to me
It tells me without watching the highlights that the winning team have scored from 30 yards out and the losing team have squandered several 1 on 1s and/or open goals.I'm with the guy in the video. There was a game a few weeks ago XG was 2.25 compared to 0.04 and the away team won 0-1

I only care about getting results out there, all stats nerds annoy me tbh.
Apologies if any on here are said nerds.
Almost exacty what happened to us , and why people argued that depite not getting results , we were creating and it will come View attachment 33465
I think that’s PSxG (I only know this because someone mentioned Torp had good PSxG and had to look it up)I cannot profess to understand it but if you have a high XG, then assume you are likely to score more goals but what if those XG chances fall to Liam Kelly all the time rather than O'Hare - does the XG get adjusted for shit players in good chance situations? Can I also put XG in non caps xg or is that a crime?
Strong correlation between enjoying base level toilet humour and not being able to understand the xg concept.
Nope. 3 points do thatDoes the fact that the xG stats instantly give you a better sense of what kind of game it was and who really deserved to win not mean anything to you at all?
It's not designed for that in fairness.I'm with the guy in the video. There was a game a few weeks ago XG was 2.25 compared to 0.04 and the away team won 0-1

.Every single one of you is a stats fanny.
Irony is that Saddlebrains positively sucks the bell end off a form table.
Y’all look at the league table, look at the score, look at the number of yellow cards, the number of goals for and against and the number of points.
Before and after every single game.
XG is no different. A lot of folks have made a great deal of money utilising it.
So don’t slag it off because you don’t understand or are too ignorant to try.

I haven't got a clue how it works but if that means Hull should score about 1 in every 9 games on last nights evidence about right took a deflection to get that.(2 poor sides).If I watch games I form my own opinion .Mine last night was bar that lucky shot both would probably still be playing now and not scoredLook at Sunderland v hull . Hull won with an xg of 0.12 lol
