When did he say that, was it during the 17/18 season when NT started this?[/quote]
No - and try doing your own homework ffs !!
18/19 season
"In the big events, especially in the Champions League, we need to be more clinical in this situation because sooner or later we are not going to win."
He then said in his post-match press conference: "I still feel we have a lot to improve."[/quote]
Look at the opening post, he started this the season before when we were the most clinical side in the league.[/quote]
Every team's fans hopes/wants/expects their team to score every time they have the ball. We are no different. However, that almost always doesn't happen. Opta do analysis of how many goals a team should score (or concede) based on an "expected goals" model. After analysing over 300,000 shots, expected goals (xG) measures the quality of a shot based on a number of different variables. The metric gives an indication as to how many goals a team should have scored (or conceded) on average based on the chances they have had/given up. Last season, when we couldn't defend properly or score for toffee, both xG for and xG against were within 1 goal of what actually happened. So either xG is a shit metric and our finishing and defending really was crap, or it's pretty accurate and we're just a bunch of moaning twats that have got too used to scoring for fun and can't believe we're now scoring "normal" numbers.
