Shows how pointless xg really is.
The Situation

The infestation of Leeds fans on here after they win a game is unreal like. Like clockwork 
You're 8 points (9 with goal difference) and 10 places behind us. Have a day off FFS.

Ah xg the most pointless thing ever. However did we manage before that shite?
Same way we’ve flown past Leeds with one transfer window.

2 reasons. It's almost as if xG can be misleading or even worse for all the stat fans out there, a load of shite. And also, we're friggin class mate.

Because being solid defensively and getting the overall balance right is as important as one offensive metric taken in isolation?

How close are we to winning the Possession Cup or the Corner Count Shield?

Surely that says more about how much others are getting everything else wrong?

Scoring actual goals instead of relying on pointless internet stats like xG.

A combination of fantastic mentality, never giving up, great defending and goalkeeping, and a little bit of luck.
It’s also true, i think, that counter attacking teams generally outperform xg. The chances the opposition get are less likely to score than the average because of the deeper defending; the chances we get are more likely to score than average because defenders are out of position.
We have also tended to sit back after scoring - once we are ahead we are therefore not creating much xg

How about Villa being 34 points higher in real life than Wolves but almost the same in this xG BS?
