Stats??? What’s The Point????

I was wondering exactly what methodology was used to calculate these and hoped lots of factors was taken into consideration. I suppose that, for every shot location, the more complex you make the calculation, the harder it is to find identical snapshots of that moment in time for comparison.

Who is our player that underperforms the simplest verstion of xG? I'm guessing Bobby Reid but not with any confidence.

I'm slightly surprised by that. He's scored some crackers for us in the past that would be low on the xG chart, while he's never appeared to be a player that misses lots of chances, because he's never seemed to me to be a player that is in a natural position to get on the end of them.
