2019-20 Season Poch v Mou - in metrics
So, bored already with the winter break, I thought I'd have a quick look at some of the X/G metrics and possession stats, to get a quick snapshot of how some of the basics have changed (or not) since Mourinho took over.
Under Pochettino in the first 12 games this season we averaged 55.74% possession.
Under Mourinho in the last 13 games we have averaged 49.35% possession.
Our XG (Expected goals) under Poch was 1.16 per game
Our XG under Mourinho is 1.45 per game
Our XGA (Expected Goals against) under Poch was 1.42
Our XGA under Mourinho is 1.36
Our PPG (points per game) under Poch 1.17
our PPG under Mourinho 1.77
So....
Our possession is down about 12%.
The big surprise really is that Mourinho hasn't really improved our Expected goals against (XGA) much per game, improving by a marginal 6%.
He has improved our Expected Goals (XG) per game, but not by loads, by about 25%.
The biggest gain is in our Points Per Game which has gone up by a pretty healthy 38%, but even that isn't spunktatsic, as if we averaged that out over the course of a season, we'd finish around 6th.
IF YOU FIND ANY OF THIS INFORMATIVE, please take the time to get over to the Off topic section and vote for an "INFORMATIVE" rating to be in introduced - then next time I do this, if things have gone to fucking pish, you can "INFORMATIVE" it instead of feeling uncomfortable about "LIKING" it.
