Also i dont know when XG was first made up, but when we won the league I doubt we finished top of the XG charts then either. We just happen to have very good players.
But quality and individual skill does play a part in games. XG alone is bullshit. A shot from 6 yards centre of goal with 6 defenders to block it on the line is worth more than an open goal tap in outside the box. Brighton have Maupay to sky it but we have Maddison to find a gap in tje first...
Perhaps a sign that we are currently 'too good to go down'
Shows progress in the long term but we need to make sure we arrest the slide. A couple more iffy signings and sales of our match winners could soon see that change.
I'm still happy to keep him. So long as we don't look like going down. Which we won't.
If next season starts just as badly then i think hes had long enough.
