LOLz .....Thank you for making my point.

Corners conceded is an EXACT stat.
We know exactly how many corners a team conceded.
No dispute.

xG is a subjective stat based on the OPINION of a person grading it.

Just bizarre.

    - 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
