xg isn't static. If our attack improves we'll increase our xg
We only go into a slump if we revert to xg and we haven't improved it.
Early days. Very happy to be pinching points off Aussie sides away. I thought it was a gripping, entertaining game. OK, if you want to watch champagne football all the time, you might be disappointed. But there was actually some good stuff from both sides.
But if you're happy to see your team grind out a result in early season, with a new coach and playing style, against a current top side, and away in 28 degrees heat, it's brilliant. Hanging on for that point and stopping Victory getting 2 more was enthralling and delightful for me.
Half the headlines, which is what the bandwagonners are going to go on, are saying the Phoenix remain unbeaten. Others include "drama" and "controversial".
Muhammed Ali talked to the wrestler 'Gorgeous George' about how he was getting big crowds to his pro wrestling events. It was about being outspoken, outrageous and controversial. Ali adopted the approach. If you're outrageous, half the crowd will want to see you win, the other half will want to see you lose, Gorgeous George said.
The 'Nix have done something outrageous. They' ve got a result on a 0 xg against one of the top sides away. Outrageous. It' s terrific press. Kiwis love a side that pisses off the Aussies. COYN.
We'll all see it differently, but I think it's great. And that we'll likely get better. 🤞And if we keep doing this our home crowds will grow. Best season start for ages.
