How many points do we get given for Xg again?
Oh that's it 0
Pathetic obsession with it the last couple of seasons
Maybe my eyes are telling a different story, but I’m just not seeing the abundance of clear cut chances we are supposed to be creating. Glaring defensive errors on the other hand are clear and obvious.
BTA at Norwich. There were 5 missed v Cardiff. That's a strong start to your compilation.I've decide I'm going to trawl through our highlights from this year and piece together the high xG chances we've misses this season into a compilation. Please leave below any suggestions (Slow day at work).

Yea clearly, we're Barcelona according to that metric yet languish in 16th placeIt's pretty obvious that it's a good barometer of performance levels
We're clearly an exception because the teams placed similarly to us are all in the top half of the tableYea clearly, we're Barcelona according to that metric yet languish in 16th place
The rest of the top of that list if the top of the league though. Same as it’s the best strikers at the top of the individual leagues.
I don't really get your point? xG is just a way of measuring chances created not a mark of success or an achievement in its self, nobody is trying to say that. We've just been shite in front of goal.Yea clearly, we're Barcelona according to that metric yet languish in 16th place

Anyone can see we have missed a lot of gilt edged chances and would be a lot healthier position if we'd been more clinical. something to work on at least.

Everyone wanks over it. Anyone I see here or on socials trying to make out we aren't shite this season starts on about XG
The cold hard facts are we have won only 7 of 26 league games, and are 6 points off the bottom 3 having spent the most money we have spent in the clubs history
XG can get to fuck

Haven't found that tag on Pornhub; I'll keep digging.
Seems like a pretty flawed stat to me. The only reason we look good on this is because we've had to chase so many games this season, which will always be conducive to producing a lot of xG if the opposition are sitting back defending a lead. Can barely think of any games we've drawn or lost this season where I've come away thinking we were the better side and deserved more.

Just since Lampard's been here we've had both Cardiff games and West Brom where we easily created more opportunities and drew/lost through a combination of deflections, poor keeping and poor finishing.Seems like a pretty flawed stat to me.

xG is fairly well proven as a better predictor of future results than actual goalsEveryone wanks over it. Anyone I see here or on socials trying to make out we aren't shite this season starts on about XG

I've got a season ticket and I think we are where we should be tbhxG is fairly well proven as a better predictor of future results than actual goals
That said, it's not the be all and end all. There's obviously things that don't factor in to xG that do contribute to performances/results. And I did read some quite compelling analysis that suggested a weighted average of 1/3 actual goals and 2/3 xG is an even better predictor.
I would argue anyone who has watched us can see that we are certainly a better team than our league position suggests.
xG shaggermiss gilt edged chances
You've literally just described the logical explanation of what is on that graph that you're dismissing.We leak goals, and miss gilt edged chances
Correct which is what our xg stats suggestWe leak goals, and miss gilt edged chances
Historically bad goalkeeping too.The chart reinforces my feeling that our general play has been decent nearly all season (bar a small number of poor games or horrible halves). The problems have been in both penalty areas, which obviously translates into points being lost. I actually think we've had more than our fair share of bad luck too.
Most of the doom-laden talk on here (both before and after the change of manager) has been way over the top IMO. We've gone from upper mid table (the last couple of seasons) to lower mid table, which isn't disastrous. A few tweaks to the squad and we have the potential to be a very good side.
Thanks for telling me that we're better than the two worst teams in the league. Couldn't have worked that out without that precious dataPlymouth and Cardiff both have spent more time trailing than Cov yet sit in the bottom left quartile, I'd suggest your conclusion is flawed.
Great, i'll take that over the detailed analysis that underpins xG.
The teams that make the most big chances miss the most big chances as a ruleThe rest of the top of that list if the top of the league though. Same as it’s the best strikers at the top of the individual leagues.
