UNEXPECTED LOVE

My family all hate expected metrics. I was also very dubious when they first started littering postmatch analyses, but they’ve become my new jam. Now, I don’t see what there is to dislike about xg & Co – they’re easily the best metrics to review any game at a glance; far better than the usual possession and shots guff trotted out more frequently. Give it a chance.
