I have no clue what "expected goals" means.

e: apparently it's an insanely convoluted stat which means "good chances"

it's a convoluted way of analysing chances so you can tell if the score is representative of the performances. Which you can also find out by just watching the game

actually scoring goals isn't important now, it's the opportunities that you had to score in but didn't that truly makes a great team

The actual opportunities created is a bit blunt, we should use expected opportunities instead imo.

I hadn't really seen many of their games this season, did Bilic just completely poo poo the bed or what? I thought Arnautovic, Zabaleta, Joe Fart and Chicharito weren't terrible signings for West Ham - shows what I know.

When was the last time a manager relegated two different teams in consecutive seasons?

Arnautovic has been entirely the bad part of his reputation, no goals and a really stupid red card.

He's been very much 4th choice, he's alright on the ball carrying it out of defense but doesn't like to put a tackle in and gets caught out a lot positionally

Chicharito and Zabaleta have been good, but Hart is no better than Adrian was and Arnautovic has been entirely anonymous in every game he's played. Bilic is a great motivator but a terrible tactician and coach, so we kept losing games until it came to a 'must win' and then he'd get the players fired up enough to win it and buy himself another month pretty much constantly

Hart has always been a match of the day keeper, no better than al habsi as a shot stopper and was found out once kompany went on the Arsenal style injury list. Adrian was arguably better imo since he at least expected the defense to drop a bollock. Hart believed his own hype.
