The man will do anything to claim moral victory. He knows he can't beat a Guardiola team in possession so he has to invent a new meaningless stat to show how great we are. Because obviously the expected goals are more important than actual goals. Everyone knows that.
The real joke is that we didn't even beat City in that meaningless stat :haha:
Look everyone we're 0.1 away from them! :bow:

Based on a number of factors including distance from goal, type of shot and number of defenders, the 'expected goal' value reveals the likelihood a specific shot will end in a goal; the higher the value, the more likely a goal should be scored from that shot
The 'expected goal' value of every shot in a game is used to calculate the 'expected goals' (xG) of a match
Not according to OPTA. We got an even bigger thrashing according to this new stat. Fake news fail. I wonder if somebody can check back to see if we have won the title in the last decade based on expected goals? Maybe we have. Maybe that's what he got the pay rise for. Maybe that's what Ivan meant when he said we've been giving our rivals a good kicking. Maybe we don't even need to play the games any more? If we already know what to expect.Quote:
