he can’t keep getting away with this
#son heungmin#tottenham#football#he’s just been consistently outperforming his xG since the beginning of his career#also why imo the interpretation and the reliance of xG when it comes to looking at individual players is flawed#it’s a useful metric for measuring a system; we should always be looking to increase the number of shots we get off#and most importantly create dangerous situations bc high xG = more goals usually#but the players themselves are individual. sonny specifically can score with 0.02xG and has been doing it for years#which is why having him in your team is irreplaceable; he’s clinical in a way no other current forward in the world is#so xG applied to him doesn’t rly matter imo. that being said he masks a lot of potential issues with a system’s attacking threat#bc of how good he is. that was kind of the issue w mourinho and first szn conte; sonny and harry have always been xG cheaters to a certain#extent and them being hot in form disguised a lot of issues#anyway sorry abt the ramble#rahul.txt
