Might be a bit stupid here but….

Is there a metric that compares XG vs actual goals scored….if so I don’t think it will be very pretty for us.

  - Total xG so far this season is 17.8 compared to actual goals scored of 12. (n/m) (NCFC) - The Gaffer, Nov 4, 12:10:37
    - OK so tell me how many goals we SHOULD have scored. (n/m) (NCFC) - usacanary, Nov 4, 18:09:27
    - Bad team almost always underperform xG (NCFC) - usacanary, Nov 4, 13:27:50

- Let it go… xG isn’t perfect and some people over-emphasise it or use it out of context (NCFC) - The Gaffer, Nov 4, 06:06:10
  - xg is exactly the same as Polling pre election. It's mostly bollocks (n/m) (NCFC) - Lentil Weaver, Nov 4, 07:15:17

        Yes that's completely wrong of them. (n/m) (NCFC) - The Gaffer, Nov 4, 15:26:51
    - You seemed to miss the point where I said that xG doesn’t predict outcomes. (n/m) (NCFC) - The Gaffer, Nov 4, 07:19:47
      - Please tell us what it does show or predict then? (NCFC) - usacanary, Nov 4, 14:35:09
        
        xG was never meant to be a predictor. Don't come at it from a sports betting angle. (NCFC) - The Gaffer, Nov 4, 15:26:11
        
        Again, im asking, tell me how its useful, what can be gained from it. (NCFC) - usacanary, Nov 4, 18:06:58

        Life absolutely includes things numbers can’t capture but the fact we can’t quantify (NCFC) - The Gaffer, Nov 4, 08:02:33

        Why do you keep quoting league position. That's a single raw data point. it tells you (NCFC) - The Gaffer, Nov 4, 16:05:05
        
        Wrong totally wrong..... (NCFC) - usacanary, Nov 4, 17:53:21
