Utd making hard work of this again.

But it's Ok because it's heritage said Jose in a 12 minute speech.

A player called Everton came on tonight against Juventus.

Just sayin

It's not todays football as such.But i was delighted to see our friends Lyon get dumped out of Europe a few days ago.The Lyon fans were pretty confident after winning in Moscow.But CSKA Moscow turned them over in their own backyard to go through.

Seems Andrew Robertson had another decent game.
Hindsight is a wonderful thing, but surely knowing we would need to replace Leighton sooner or later, just how did we not pursue our supposed interest in the lad.

Analytics used in conjuction with scouting.

An article i read on him was when Silva took over Hull halfway through the season Robertson's stat numbers almost doubled on chances created,running,sprints,tackles etc so if clubs could see him standing out in a awful relegation team then it was done on analytic data.Silva probably told his FB's to play higher up the pitch than Mike Phelan did so his stats shot up considerably that saw the RS scouting/analytics that he could fit into Klopp's system.

We have Steve Walsh's dated scouting which is rubbish as we know,seems to be old fashioned with a network of scouts going to matches and the R/S and Spurs use analytical data that shows stuff on a player that scouting doesn't,The R/S DoF used to be the head of Spurs Analytical department not long ago.

Son,Eriksen Vertonghen Dembele Rose Walker as examples the last 5-6 years were under the radar signings that bigger clubs missed out on and were scouted using analytic data,no surprise Spurs have a fantastic well balanced squad and pound for pound one of the least expensive in the league.

Pains me to say it, but Salah has been absolutely awesome for them. Where do you get a player like that for just £36m thesedays? That's coppers in today's market.

Just hope he suffers from the dreaded 'second season syndrome'.

Neil Warnock, who I'd never get tired of punching in the face, has just been on Sky accusing Derby of unjustly calling their game off today.

He openly claimed that it's because that Derby don't want to play Cardiff today due to how their playing and it's nothing to do with the weather.

To be fair to him, Cardiff were safely at Pride Park and the Sky reporter confirmed the weather and roads weren't too bad in the local area.

How did that Mark Hughes get another job, I wouldn’t have him in charge of the under 10’s

Clubs dont call games off do they? Like, the final decision isnt theirs.

I know it is still scoreless, but the way a league one team are utterly dominating Southampton is mad. Saints look completely devoid of any threat or quality.

Usually a keeper of Leno's quality wouldn't fap at a ball like that until after he signs for Everton for 40M.

Gabbadini having a mare

 

[Rook]

considering they are in last place Koln's fans are fantastic

Gabbadini having a mare

Did his prem career is turn Jelavic-ish?

Leno and the word quality should never be spoken in the same sentence.

An overrated myth.
