No, Wolves really shouldn't have scored 2. It would have been grossly unlucky for us if they had. I'm struggling to remember a clear cut chance that they created.

It's the Premier League. You're not winning every match 4-0. Liverpool have 2 points from draws with Fulham and Palace.

The header that missed the post at the end of the first half, but that was a half chance really, he did well to get it close.
We had an xg of 1.7 while theirs was 0.6.

Exactly.
We deserved the win yesterday and had the better chances over the course of the game.

If you are happy with our performances in the last 2 games then that is good for you.
No I'm not but i don't confuse not playing well with not deserving to win/pick up points.
You said we were lucky to win, we weren't.

We were, Wolves put a couple just past the post and should have scored when Jimenez practically walked through our whole defence.

Think people should look at all the results across the board before focusing on our performances - Leeds putting 3 past Chelsea, Liverpool drawing first 2, City 2-1 down at Saudi Sportswashing Machine (at time of writing) and them lot actually winning 3 in a row. Takes a month or so for teams to get into strides and find some consistency, for signings to embed and to review how teams are playing with the new signings. We are doing ok, wolves result and performance was good and rusty as expected but we picking up results, let’s see how we step up.
Shots that were close aren't the same as good chances - i don't think either of those were particularly glaring misses

Are you actually having a laugh? How are close shots any different to good chances?
Xg measure how good a chance was. We had an xg of 1.7, they had an xg of 0.6. We had the better chances.
I'll take it to an extreme to make the point - someone pulls off a cracking shot from 50 yards out that just sails past the post. Now that was a shot that was close to going in but not a great chance to score from
In fairness it doesn't measure shots off target, but I'm confident if the chances he is talking about were on target they wouldn't have drastically changed the xg rating of the game, neither were gilt edged chances
Didn't realise that. Thats a bit brick.

Xg is pointless in my opinion.

If they were on target they were in the goal.
