xG 13:11 - Nov 2 with 2356 viewsselondonblue23

I like xG. I think it’s a useful indication of the quality of chances you create, although obviously like all stats it’s not the be all and end all.

Very surprised to see though we registered 0.56xG from open play yesterday - the second Hirst goal alone is surely a goal 8 times out of 10. If not more. And the first one, albeit harder, I would have thought to be 0.3 perhaps. But for those two combined to only equal 0.56, and that’s before you factor in other half chances (Philogene volley, Egeli shot over the bar).

Can anyone more intelligent than me explain or is it just a not very useful statistic…?

I can’t really see how they’re at 1.55 by the same metric…

Anyway. Hugely enjoyed yesterday, sat amongst very disgruntled QPR fans who had to admit in the second half that we were very good.

Indeed. And there is a massive subjective element, inevitably.


The one thing it is not, is subjective.
