Anyone who thinks xG is pointless because of our situation with it clearly doesnt understand the concept on xG.
All the professional gamblers who make long term profits use xG models.
The main reason we have done so bad on xG is a combination of a bit of luck so far this season (we most probably are currently overperforming), we sit back and soak pressure which can generate more shots from the opposition, but these shots usually don't rack up big xG numbers as they can be hit and hope type shots, outside the area etc. we have a really good goalkeeper that has saved us points this season and just the complete determination and desire not to lose games. Let's face it without our immense defence this season we would be comfortably in the bottom half of the table i think, in attack is where we lack and it shows on our attacking xG numbers.
