There's nothing much that an Albion fan wouldn't know. What it is do is look at other leagues across Europe and finds that we're the team with the biggest gap between xG and actual goals on the entire continent.
Oh, and there's a cliched reference to Harry Potter and his magic wand too.

Time for one of the great jokes of all time.

What do you call a Frenchman wearing sandals?

Nothing new, no. We’ve all had our fill of xG discussions for a while now.

But it is good to see our club name and brand being discussed in a premium platform like L’Eqipe. A sign of how far we’ve come.

Looks like the French like NSC style comments as well. Plus ça change

If you play the game, rather than unlucky one could say clumsy or ineffective maybe?

It produces play but it takes a little stability. But Potter too often changes players from one game to another.

I know some pseudo football connoisseurs who prefer that their team play well but that it goes down ... Let the coach die with his ideas...

I quite like the aphoristic quality of hoodoo35's comment below. It could have easily been made by the French absurdist philosopher Albert Camus, himself once an aspiring goalkeeper, and who famously said, 'Everything I know most surely about morality and duty, I owe to football'.

No. Whoever has played football knows very well that the one who touches the post is unlucky, not clumsy
