Here is the xG from the N Forest game that sounded awful on the radio. This appears to be supported by the lack of big chances (just 1 for Kluivert’s tap in). We went ahead early with Sinisterra flicking on a Cook corner that was going in (rated 0.06) before Kluivert touched it home on the line (only rated 0.81, which seems low). That was pretty much it in for our chances for the game beyond some scrappy half-chances. Forest offered little more having a 1 in 7 chance from Awonyi in the 15th minute. However, just before the break, the fall fell for Hudson-Odoi after AFCB missed three chances to clear the ball and he finished well (1 in 30). At half time the xG was AFCB 0.99 N Forest 0.40). The second half was poor with only an effort from Tavernier in the 71st minute being 1 in 10 or greater. Despite AFCB going down to 10 men in the 83rd minute, N Forest only managed 1 attempt at goal which was a 1 in 50 chance from Gibbs-White. The final xG was AFCB 1.19 N Forest 0.46. Opta had the game as slightly better with xGs of 1.27 and 0.53 respectively.

The formation shows that Smith (15) and Kelly (5) played as high as Cook (4) and Christie (10). Kluivert (19) was the furthest forward with Sinisterra (17) and Solanke (9) either side. The first sub was like for like at right wing with Tavernier (16) coming on for Semenyo who had had a knock. The second change was Scott (14) for an injured Christie (10) and Philip (29) coming on for Kluivert who was dangerously close to a second yellow. Philip’s average position suggests he was more a central midfielder than a No 10 role. Ouattara (11) replaced Sinisterra and just before the red card Kerkez (3) came on for Kelly (5). Kerkez’s position was more central, and Ouattara may also have played more defensively once we were down to 10 men.

Your say…

A good example of the vulnerability of xG to nuances. We’d have lost the xG if Kluivert hadn’t got a touch and stolen Sinisterra’s goal. It’s confirmed what we all knew though… That second half was turgid. – To join the conversation, click here.
