Hi Guys,
We've done a piece looking at the impact Davinson Sanchez has had on the Spurs team.
"We’ve also taken a look at expected goals against (xGA). This stat weighs up the high quality chances a team concedes and puts a number on it. It’s a way to judge whether you’ve been fortunate over the entire season or whether you have a mean defence.
The xGA for Spurs during the 2015/16 season was 37.08 which works out at 0.97 per 90 minutes. They improved last season with the xGA90 coming down to 0.88. Pochettino’s managed to improve his defensive unit this time around even without being able to call upon Alderweireld and Wanyama. The xGA90 so far for this campaign is 0.81. For further context, in the games Sánchez has played the xGA90 is 0.72."
Sanchez right at home in the Spurs defence
Cheers,
Sam
