Ah no, I think it’s generally pretty useful tbh. Just didn’t particularly understand yesterday’s figure / how it was so little. Felt like I knew the ball was going to hit the back of the net before it did for at least 3 of them!

I also don’t understand how QPR supposedly had 47% possession but there we are! (I imagine most of it was their CB passing back to their keeper at goal kicks)

Well, nearly everything that was on target. 19 shots total though, which shows how many opportunities we’re creating.

Most of their possession was carrying the ball back to the centre circle

I don't get the connection??? If I thought to myself, "That was an easy chance", I wouldn't make up a stupid meaningless statistic about it.

So what makes you rant to a forum at 3am when everyone else is asleep about Ben Sheaf, when no one has even mentioned him

Is that when we scored after 7 seconds or something?

Torp has 3 goals already so if he carries on that trajectory, he will be undroppable.

That trajectory gets him 46 league goals, so most definitely undroppable.

Think BTAs goal was the biggest chance and only one above 0.25 which I think is the cut off for big chance. Cant think of any better.

Yea, just watched the highlights back. Clinical and a shite goalkeeper combo

If we can reproduce Saturdays attacking form then yes I would expect a win, but let's give Oxford credit they will not roll over like QPR ! So don't get upset if the game is a pile of shite!

What does “easy” mean?

Means most people would score it? You just did statistics. XG is just a numeric version of “most” or “some” or “my nan an she’s been dead for years”

I do if you keep reading. All statistics is is putting definite point on what “easy” “hard” “likely” “unlikely” means. If you’ve used those words then you’ve used statistics just in a more imprecise way.

Met his sister at a parents evening years ago. She said he loved his time at City. Great story I know.

He was the only one who looked bothered. He looked ready to go at some of his teammates at some points in the game.

Just trying to do a bit of “maths isn’t scary really it’s just describing the world around us”. May still be in maths teacher mode form my kids exam revision sessions.

No offence meant regarding xg stuff. It's just that I'm starting my 62nd year of watching the city and football in general. (I'm now 72) Never have I, or anyone else I know, have ever bothered with these sort of statistics. It's the same watching a game on tv. I can't be arsed knowing how many touches a player has made or what percentage of the ball play a team has had etc. I just want to enjoy the game without the waffle and constant showing of ( to me), meaningless statistics.
Anyway, rant over. Enjoy the rest of the season. It's been an amazing start!

Big Chance just meant over 1 in 4 chance of going in. It’s totally arbitrary.
Click to expand...

Apparently Sakamoto had 0.7-0.8 xG over two chances v Hull, one chance being over 0.5 xG… I can’t recall 2 such chances.

It’s not an arbitrary measure, there’s clearly a mathematic formula behind it.
