Well, having a high xG is not a bad thing, so that is not why we've missed out. So, are you trying to say that we've missed out because we don't convert the xG to G? Are you trying to say that the reason is down to bad finishing?
If so, I'm sorry but that's not what the stats say. If you want to look at finishing, look in your table at "xG v Actual". On that measure, we aren't great, we're top half of the table, not great - but not poor either.
A high xG and a decent conversion ratio should be enough. That's not where the problem lies. The problem is the goals going in at the other end of the pitch.
For example, in comparison to Leicester, we have scored only one goal less than them, but we have let in 22 more. That shows the difference. |  | |  |

xG?
Am I correct in thinking another useless ‘metric’ or modern ‘stat’ ? |  |

The only stats that natter are goalks
Score more, concede less
We have that the wring way round
Our shots on target stat is atrocious and if we cant hit the target we won't score
I would love to see how many shots we have had against us on target that resulted on goals | | | |

What I think I'm trying to say is that like the XG table we're also way out on top in the possession table but like Saint22 said the only stat that counts is scoring at least one more than the opposition
RM seems to be deliberately over complicating the point of the game and playing in a particular way seems to be as important as winning. When it comes off it's great but it doesn't come off consistently.
I'd be all in favour of Saints going balls out to sign Kieran McKenna if Ipswich don't go up. | | | |

Makes sense as I thought I had seen SaintsRob quote some inane stat on this matter. | |
