XG is the biggest pile of wank as a metric for measuring performance.
Every single news report reckons Southampton won the match easily, as I do myself. This is from the BBC:
The final scoreline flattered Villa, who only sporadically showed the form that earned them a full 12 points from 12 at the start of the campaign.
This is from the sun:
In truth they won this one by a country mile as they underlined why they are the Premier League’s away experts as they clocked up their NINTH win on the road since their 3-1 win here four days before Christmas.
Every single news report says the same.
As did i,and those reports are bollocks.xG measures the quality of chances. If you're using it to measure performance then it's no ones fault but your own for being too stupid to understand it.
If you're browsing the Sun to find your football opinions you can keep them. I watched the match start to finish.

We all know,as seen in our own match ratings and reports,that these clowns clearly don't watch the games in their entirety,or more probably anywhere near.
First there is no such thing as an expected goal, it does not exist. Also the quality of any chance does not take anything into context. A big chance may just be a lucky ricochet from a corner, which falls to a centre half 2 yards out and he fluffs it.xG measures the quality of chances.

Do you think Grealish is better than Le Tissier was?As did i,and those reports are bollocks.

My mistake, you said title challengers and not title winners.Flavour of the last 18 months.
If he ends up at the Swamp,with a manager who isn't clueless,then they are title challengers again.
Potentially.Do you think Grealish is better than Le Tissier was?
I also said.....with a quality manager.My mistake, you said title challengers and not title winners.
He's nowhere near as good and it's not even close.Potentially.

Xg is a totally pointless metric and something devised for the Fifa generation. Football is not cricket and it an not be defined by any stats apart from goals scored or conceded. Even assists is pretty pointless really as it does not take anything into context.
