Evaluating match performance

I want to explain how to evaluate a match by looking at various factors like the xG timeline, shot maps, goalkeeper saves, and touches in dangerous areas. There are some interesting examples to consider, like matches with over 40 shots and no goals. It might not be uncommon for teams to have high shots but still fail to score. I should also note alternative reasons for mismatches, like time-wasting or strong defensive plays, rather than suggesting it’s rigged.Explaining statistical variance in shots

It’s important to highlight data illusions, like how blocked and off-target shots can inflate counts. I can offer a simple Poisson model, showing probabilities of scoring based on xG totals. For instance, if xG is below 2, it’s not surprising to see no goals. Also, if the user shares a link to stats, I can analyze further. I should also refrain from accusations and respond calmly to rhetorical questions. Let’s craft some points, including examples and insights on shot quality.
