Our expected goals against, the purple line below, suggests that we're either facing a lot more shots or a higher quality chances over the last two seasons than we have in the previous season, and it's trending in the wrong direction.

I really love this type of analysis. For me it shows that we never replaced a fit Wanyama or Dembele at the base of our midfield. We used to have so much control of the ball. We used to concede the odd good chance but never let teams like Palace get 8 shots on target at our own ground! It was funny watching Benteke shooting tamely at the end on Saturday, but we gave him two decent shooting opportunities from the edge of the box that better players could have scored from.
