xG Explained

[Zanjinho]

Obviously, I'm a curmudgeonly old get and routinely dismiss anything invented after 1971.
However, I said days ago that I can accept that these things might be useful to coaching staff, but as a consumer of the game I find it doesn't enhance the experience for me at all. I'm no more interested in what people think should happen than I am about having a detailed run-down of players' eating regime or toilet routine.

That's why you always dismiss everything I say....

I hate them too, xG, xA and whatever else. Make very little sense to me. By from what I can work out, they mean a great deal to our lads at Melwood and as long as our team keeps on moving foward, I'm fine with them using whatever the hell stats they want whilst I remain oblivious to them!
