Don't know if you have data for this, but would love to know how much xG Jesus generates for himself each game. Like if he gets the ball on the edge of the box he could shoot for a really low xG chance, but he often takes it past 2 or 3 defenders and seems to manufacture a higher xG chance.
Also think this could contribute to his apparent underperformance on xG. He seems to manufacture himself decent chances but perhaps not be in the optimal situation to take the chance - like he's a bit off balance, or has to toe poke, or he's taking the shot on his wrong foot, which I think would penalise him from an xG perspective.
