I really appreciate the existence of this article, given that I love to watch football, and read football discourse, but when it gets too technical I feel left out. So, thank you so much, Grace.

Thanks for the explanation Grace. Can expected goals tell us useful things about goalkeepers?

The answer is "sometimes, and it depends on the model". I'll cover it in the second stats explainer article.

most people's introduction to expected goals seems to be The xG Philosophy on twitter and as far as i can tell that isn't a very good thing
