Appreciate there’s scepticism about xG, but apparently we have conceded 5.6 goals more than expected this year, the worst in the league (Wildsmith twice as bad per match compared to Griffiths). Also underperforming at the other end (2.7 down - Price and Diakite worst offenders). On expected points, we “should” be 6th - only Southampton and Blues underperforming more.
Stats obviously say nothing about the lack of substitutions, lack of energy, Diakite’s inability to pass before the goal (after a good tackle in fairness), countless other errors, and refereeing errors. So Mason might say he’s unlucky, but if anything is consistent, it’s underperformance
