xG is a really good stat. I think a lot of people just brush it aside as ‘nonsense’ because it’s new.
A penalty is between 0.76 and 0.79 xG, meaning there’s a 76-79% chance of a goal.
The stat above stands us in really good stead.
As for the Atletico striker, that’s quite damning
Only in a very brief Club World Cup context, he scored 20 in 35 La Liga games last season which ain’t bad! -

So how is the xG for a striker calculated? Getting in the right areas? Or receiving the ball in the right area? Genuine question because one could mean he’s missing sitters, the other could mean he’s doing his job but the delivery is poor.
How is a teams xG calculated? Same types of scenarios as above.
I honestly don’t know but suspect the xG stats could be widely open to interpretation.
As I understand it, every shot attempted gets added to the xG figure. If Grigg has a 6 yard tap in with the keeper in no mans land, that might have an xG score of 0.96 meaning 96 times out of 100 you would expect to see a goal scored in that scenario.
Team xG is every shot attempted by a team during the match. A team xG of 1.53 means we should be scoring that many goals per game based on the quality of chances we are creating. In terms of individual players, the best ones tend to outscore their xG. -

That centre forward for Athletico Madrid had the highest xG in the Club World Cup but didn’t score a single goal.
Yep cos he kept missing sitters, so those stats suggest we create plenty of goalscoring opportunities, we just don't take them often enough. A finishing problem rather than a creativity one.
Can I just say those stats, if true, are tremendous given we seemed to have half our squad out injured for half the season. What a job Paul Cook and the #BloatedBackroomStaff do. -

You could call them freebies, or you could call it good business sense. How many of those kids who have attended on freebies, enjoyed and pestered their mum and dads to take them back as paying customers, possibly choosing us as their club instead of being armchair Liverpool fans, and becoming paying customers for years.
They can sneer at it if they want but we still get bigger crowds than them if you take them off, and at the same time luring in long term fans. Win/win
They're just a bunch of thick bastards who can't understand relatively concepts like forward planning, and not fucking their sisters. -
