    Player Watch - Tanguy Ndombele

    It seems like either club should be able to afford an Ozempic/wegovy perscription. Sounds like the nausea, distension, etc. would change the taste for a late night burger... Is it considered a PED?

    Let's All Laugh At... let's all laugh at United

    i only saw highlights. the first was intended, i'm not sure the second was... seemed a bit of luck both on the headed clearance going through and Amrabat being in no man's land setting the line. was just happy to "laugh at United" with Sanchez doing our bidding even when fully moved on from THFC.

    Gleison Bremer

    Not to mention also that the data seems fucked. FBRef has Dier with 2818 mins in PL last season with Bremer having 2634 (7% fewer...). Not nearly the discrepancy in minutes implied in the spider chart which seems to show something like half...

    Gleison Bremer

    Stats can kind of be misread though right? Say for example if Dier didn't attempt many tackles, he wouldn't have committed errors leading to a shot or gave away penalties (this is rhetorical btw), whereas if Bremer (who I never watched) played with a more aggressive defensive role, these other...

    Loan him and pay the difference in wages, else we're just falling into the sunk cost fallacy. Reminds me of an exchange from the movie Moneyball: (call me a yank all you want)

    You mean three intervals... yet Sarr and Perisic came on at the same time, same interval, so that was the 2nd after Romero. One should have remained, and two additional subs to make the 5. EDIT: at least per my reading of this article on the rules...

    He's on the full table just too far down... Onana let's in more than expected Vs vicario. He's the link and the screenshot starting close to where the last I posted stopped. https://fbref.com/en/comps/11/keepersadv/Serie-A-Stats

    Apparently 3rd in serie A keeps at saves relative to expected goals conceded. Not sure if comparable to PL, but it's a bit less than Raya but still at the edge of the top 6 in PL, which I think takes goalkeeping from a weakness to a semi-strength. Hard to interpret for me some of the...

    Manager Watch: Ange Postecoglou

    Ange himself said in an interview that he'd rather win 4-3 than 1-0, so I'm not sure he disagrees. The difference is do you concede more than you score / your win rate; and I'm sure he believes we'll do better than Leeds in that regard.

    Tottenham working on five summer deals as Ange Postecoglou holds first 'transfer meeting'

    Haha, the article about five signings mentions 2 CBs, GK (Raya), AM (Madison)... And nothing else. Has me second guessing whether I'm stupid for even thinking something's wrong here given how obvious it is. I guess I'm not the stupid one? Someone? Anyone?

    The Race for 4th

    You're last point is not obviously supporting your thesis, no better way to catch up to a team than beat them. I hope the squad doesn't have some of the attitudes on here :) we'd have lost before starting.

    I think that last question is what's actually wrong with the whole thing. That question is actually intentionally left out of the process. They're not there to judge if it's a clear and obvious "foul," but rather if it's a clear and obvious "error" by the official. So instead of VAR actually...

    Player Watch - Djed Spence - Genoa

    Another read would be that when he says pressure it's not the pressure in the game he's taking about but the pressure of potentially fucking up and having to get on with life after the game Lloris et al can digest and heal as mature professionals but perhaps he thinks the hit to confidence...

    Match Threads Spurs Vs Sporting CP

    I thought what he added is what we've needed most of the season. A direct runner/dribbler to take someone on. There's too much aimless crossing, interspersed with Son and Kane at the top of the box getting triple marked with 90% of their possessions getting tackled or shots blocked. Once the...

    .

    To me, it seems like Conte has been clear and it's obvious that WB rotation is his well worn practice by now once there's trust in fitness and tactical awareness. He's been especially likely to rotate Sess and Perisic, almost definitely with <1 weeks rest. Last game was Perisic, so this'll be...

    Match Threads Frankfurt Vs Spurs

    all the crying over shots on target. this is why xG exists. the dummy from son for Kane to flick on as a faux 1-2 where Son hit it wide was a very clear chance. that it doesn't count as on target doesn't mean it wasn't a strong chance. there were a good few of these in the game. on target...
