Christ, how hard can it be 🙄 You stated you had no issue with the xG attributed to Isak's chance/goal, that stat was 0.04 i.e. he only had a four hundredth of a chance to score - preposterous. Now, the position he was on the pitch may produce goals four times out of a hundred, but the circumstances surrounding his chance (defenders nowhere, keeper in no mans land) mean his xG should have been 75% at least.

So you agreed with Isak's xG (from the distillation of tens of thousands of games) but it's not about Isak specifically in the context of last nights game. Aye ok. It enhances my enjoyment of watching (or understanding) a game not one iota, it can also at the individual game level be thoroughly misleading for someone who didn't see it. (We weren't particularly clinical and certainly not lucky)

I do, sorry. Schar - the stat would suggest he'd score one time out of four. He was 8 yards out centre of goal in front of any defender, under little pressure, and meeting a perfectly pacey, flighted ball at perfect height. If he missed that 3 times out of four he wants shot with shit. Isak, His little blue star may be outside the D but he was under no pressure, no defender within 6 foot of him and the keeper was out of position/on his heels because ball was given away. The replay angle from behind Isak perfectly shows how much goal he had to aim at, to suggest Isak (or even Shola) would miss that 96 times out of a hundred is just not realistic.

Even god doesn't do that. 🎶 I can't remember if I sighed When Sky put up their xG slide But something told me that it lied The day the xG died 🎶
