@Greg-Mitchell @Arran-Shackell this is how I understand it too, read “The xG philosophy” to try and get a better grasp of it.
-
I am no xG aficionado, but my understanding is that it is a measure not only of the shots/possession/goal attempts, but also the perceived quality of those.
So if you were not watching the game, then you may think having 20 shots means there must surely be a goal coming up. But if all of those shots have come from 30 yards out and there have been numerous defenders between the shot taker and the goal, then the chance of there being a goal is less.
-
I’m never sure what to think of the in play xg. Seems to be plenty of first goals scored when it’s <0.4 for a team. Happy to be enlightened though.

@Martin I agree there should have been a goal eventually but the stats for the first half made it look even more likely than the actual chances for me. It was very frustrating in the end as some good chances wasted second half too
Interesting conversation this. I wasn't watching the game, but keeping my eye on the in-play stats, and yes from the first half the shots tally was high, however the in-play xG for both teams was very low (less than 0.6).

Lecce v Roma SHG 1.35 with 21 goal attempts and 5 shots on goal in the first half!
Crikey! 37 goal attempts and 9 shots on goal 0-0
I watched this also, my advice don't watch the highlights you will not understand how thee wasn't a goal!

@Alastair-Todd I watched this game the stats painted a better picture than the actual chances for me

@Alastair-Todd my trades have been absolutely beasted in March, had a brilliant day Friday and Saturday and managed to get March back in profit, but having a shocker today, still waiting for results to come in tonight but what I made Friday and Saturday looks to have been wiped out, you're not alone pal.

@Alastair-Todd said in *****New Football Thread*****:
Well, what a day. All 5 matched trades lost and all 5 trades which I didn't enter because of rubbish odds won. More than wiped out an excellent day yesterday. Why can't these bloody millionaires score goals
Similar story here: 21/22 winners yesterday but half of that profit's disappeared in just 13 trades so far today and it could all go if my final two go tits-up. You just have to look at the long term on days like today and remember there's always tomorrow.
