[Albion] Welcome back

[Arthur]

Because they were both presentable chances that you'd expect to score (roughly) 60% of the time for Maupay's one (so 0.6xG) and perhaps 50% of the time for MacA's (so 0.5xG). Add a few more little chances and get to the total around 1.7. No chance is a whole xG. Even a penalty is only given as 0.75 or something.

Both goals I would expect a professional to score from every single time. Maupay was inside the six yard box and just had to let it hit him. McArgie had a free shot from roughly around 6 or 7 yards out if that is only a coin toss that he scores then its no wonder we have problems in front of goal!

5 goals and 2 wins in the stripes so far.

I think the OP is onto something.

Just taken from another thread:

Welcome back proper stripes. Please can we never EVER go back to that all-blue (well, crappy pin-stripes) shit again? They are shit shit shit SHIT.

As you correctly predicted last year, our poor run of results and our massive under-performance against our XG was entirely down to that shitty kit. Covid saved us.

And yet last season we found out that expectation does not correlate with reality

Lots to enjoy in this thread.

"What's this new fangled xG stuff all about?"
"I would expect those chances to be scored 100% of the time"
Plus of course [MENTION=232]Simster[/MENTION] is correct that it's all down to ditching last seasons terrible kit.
