I'll blame them for over simplistic and silly use of vague metric statistics used in a sport that most who regurgitate them don't have a clue about.Hey don't blame us for xG
What does that have to do with anything? And how you can disagree with something that is factual, like the xG table I posted, is beyond me.American yeah?
