Absolutely. I don't think there are many suggesting xG give the perfect overview of how a game was "actually" played. Goals scored is very "black and white" xG just provides some gray into the mix.
Completely agree - it is a good addition to the other stats available and helps paint a picture. Just watching a game can be deceiving too. I watch a lot of games twice and am quite surprised by how much bias I had watching the first time around.
