In football analytics, the gap between xG and xGOT is essentially the “Finishing Tax.” It measures whether a player’s technique is making a goal more or less likely after the ball has actually been kicked.
## 1. xG (Pre-Shot): The Quality of the Chance
xG (Expected Goals) tells you how good the opportunity was before the shot was taken. • It considers: Distance, angle, defender positions, and the type of pass (e.g., a cross vs. a through ball). • Essentially: “How many times would an average player score from this exact spot?”
## 2. xGOT (Post-Shot): The Quality of the Execution
xGOT (Expected Goals on Target) tells you how good the shot was after it was hit. • It considers: Where the ball ended up in the goal frame and the power/trajectory. • A shot heading for the top corner gets a much higher xGOT than a shot rolled slowly toward the keeper’s feet. • Essentially: “How difficult did the player make it for the goalkeeper to save?”

I support city anyways, I’ve always fancied light blue over dark blue since 2022
