ALBION boss Graham Potter has admitted he is not overly concerned with the expected goals statistic.

The expected goal stat, or xG is a metric used to represent the probability of a scoring opportunity that may result in a goal.

Since Potter has taken over as manager of Albion there has been a common theme in a lot of the team's performances and that has been a certain wastefulness in front of goal.

Even this season there are games that people can point to and wonder how Albion did not win them due to the sheer amount of good chances that were created by the players on the pitch.

The Argus: Neal Maupay's goal against West Ham was scored with an Xg of 0.11Neal Maupay's goal against West Ham was scored with an Xg of 0.11

For example the match against Leeds in which Neal Maupay missed two clear chances, which could have easily won the game for Potter's side.

Albion ended that game with an xG of 2.07 to Leeds United's 1.35, which suggests the game should have ended in a 2-1 win.

General football fans have become fascinated by xG since it started being popularised as it is can show which side should have scored in a game.

When asked if he is focused on the metric, Potter said: “Not really. Well, yes and no.

“It’s a piece of performance data that can tell you something.

“But you have to be careful as well. It doesn’t tell the whole story.

“It’s not the truth. It’s just a piece of information.”
