The player that stood out for us on xG plus and on expected shots is Erling Haaland, the striker for Norway, striker
00:00:06
for Manchester City, well-established reputation of being able to take extremely acrobatic shots
00:00:13
and get shots off where other players couldn't. If you looked at his expected shots, he would take way more shots than
00:00:19
his expected shots would indicate. So that residual would be very high, which is to say he is creating more shooting
00:00:25
opportunities or he is shooting more often than we would estimate and we consider that a very sticky skill.
00:00:31
That's a skill that we would expect to stay with him because of how consistent it is year to year. We're finishing
00:00:37
variability, that's a little bit, you know, less consistent making and missing shots, actually getting to take those
00:00:42
shots and you know, as a team creating those shooting opportunities, that is we find should be more predictive than just
00:00:50
pure shot making ability.
