They are doing a good job given the data they have to work with, trying to extend it

The thing is, many people understand the concept at which xG stats are trying to arrive, but most of them don’t actually understand how dangers are assigned, and what probabilities are assigned to various danger levels

It really is a good attempt but really ends up being a marginal improvement on sv%

Good thing you're never anything but friendly and polite when beating the hell out of your dead horse!
