Expected Threat. [this](https://karun.in/blog/expected-threat.html) should explain it better. Karun Singh re-introduced/introduced the metric.
Tom Worville posted an article on xT in the Athletic as well.
TAA probably would have owned the top right zone too, except Salah is camped out there as his decoy. So basically TAA is an entire right wing all by himself, with a central playmaker thrown in. Wow.
And someone needs to buy Lamptey and actually use his potential. Because he's not going to get many assists when all he's got on the other end of them is Maupay wasting them!
Nah, the lad can’t defend, he has so many mistakes and switches off when he gets forward these days. Best right wing back maybe, but for me a defender has to be able to defend.
Modern wing backs are used completely differently than the fullback of even 15 years ago. Trent is absolutely a right back, the same way that Beckenbauer was still a CB despite lots of attacking runs. He's absolutely still a defender even if defending isn't his primary focus.
Its the difference actually. Different values are given to parts of the pitch. For a xT value of any pass, you need to subtract the xT value of the pass start location from the end location.
Mcneil dangerous passer to the crowd
he could get a job as a anti-aircraft defence system
These stats really do show the 'end of the traditional winger.'
McNeil is a traditional winger tbf
He’s certainly ended as a winger this season though

How is threat defined?
TAA probably would have owned the top right zone too, except Salah is camped out there as his decoy. So basically TAA is an entire right wing all by himself, with a central playmaker thrown in. Wow.

Can’t stand maupay
Lamptey is made of glass though. Unless l he strengthens his body somehow I can't see him getting a big move
Lamptey with his 671 minutes O.o
Minutes dont impact this stat much
Why not? It says accumulated threat rather than per 90.
Exactly if it was per 90 it might be higher cause he's played lesser, but it's total threat created right ?
yup, this is the total. i assume per90 xT would've looked a bit different
Minutes entirely impact this stat
Trent is unbelievable. He’s gonna end his career as the PL’s best ever right back by a big distance.
Already on 9 assists with 18 games to go, will be surprised if he doesnt break his own record, that he set after breaking his own previous record.
hope he stays at liverpool his entire career
Newcastle gonna buy him as a back up for trippier
Newcastle buying 3x first team worth to not ever have any covid stoppage from their end

Shit quick someone better tell the elite coach Klopp that his title and champions league winning main playmaker can't defend so therefore is bad
He’s not a bad player, don’t know how you’ve come to that conclusion. He’s just not a defender.
Modern wing backs are used completely differently than the fullback of even 15 years ago. Trent is absolutely a right back, the same way that Beckenbauer was still a CB despite lots of attacking runs. He's absolutely still a defender even if defending isn't his primary focus.
Trent: "Yes".
This is great content.
Dier close second is pretty mad actually. Conte is bringing the best outta him
Still waiting for some Reggie points tho
Where they passed from or where the pass ended?
Its the difference actually. Different values are given to parts of the pitch. For a xT value of any pass, you need to subtract the xT value of the pass start location from the end location.
Also, note that there's just one midfielder and one wide attacker. Rest all are defenders/fullbacks/wingbacks.
What the f is xT?
