It was what decided who deserves to win games until last night, according to Hafi.

Now it turns out Spurs' expected goal was higher than expected according to Hafi.

So it's actually expected, expected goals that decides who deserves to win.

Also if the opposition keeper makes some good saves then his team deserves to lose.

So 'x' stands for expected? Which clearly begins with an 'e'?

Why isn't it eg?

there are loads of examples like that though eg example isn't spelt egsample so why is it eg? You'd expect it to be ex, so eg actually has an expected spelling (xS) of 0.63.

What makes it more annoying is Spurs were so rubbish. They were letting us get chance after chance and we fluffed all 4 big chances in the 2nd half. They didn’t even defend well.

Were they chances you'd expect to result in goals? There is something I just looked up called expected goals (xG) and it says that we had an xG of less than 1. That means we weren't even expected to score one goal from those four chances. How do you feel about the xG stat that I have just introduced to you? Does it mean anything when it comes to who deserves to win matches?

The Hojlund one was so painful, just a few CM’s higher and it is a goal.😂
