what was their xg diff that year? And how much of that was due to underperformance on the offensive side (versus Aguero's systematic, ridiculous cheating of xG year to year, IIRC)
86 G, 70.07 xG. 26 GA, 33.78 xGA. We don't talk about this enough, imo. Spurs scored the most goals and allowed the fewest and didn't win the league. They had a better goal differential AND xG differential than the team that won it!
Nothing tops my british family talking to american friends who are spurs fans. The sort of horror and "but why would you do that to yourself?" look on their faces.
remember when Pep lost a title because he played Jesus for nearly a full season over Aguero? Pepperidge farm remembers
Claudio Bravo would like to have a word with you as to why City didn't win a title that year.

City:
-80 G, 79.5 xG (both Aguero and GJ were about even on G and xG)
-39 GA, 29.61 xGA
Chelsea:
-85 G, 61.80 xG (lmao)
-33 GA, 28.62 xGA
Curious what were Spurs that season?

I talk about it plenty. Chelsea stole our CL spot in 2012 and stole our title that season. Horrible!!
