🚨COMUNICADO OFICIAL
The @CraqueStats podcasts are coming back. Did a mic test earlier this week to test the new equipment and see how I managed talking as I still recover from a flu.
Did it in the form of a self Q&A which I will post later today to get back into the habit of

If you enjoyed the self Q&A from @babuyagu and would like to see more solo episodes like this in the future, as well as the interviews / chats with friends content from last year, please let me know.
Apologies again for the hiatus, just glad to be back at it!

Update of my #podcasts list!
It has football related podcasts mostly but there are also cricket & business related ones also!
I really like listening to a good podcast!
If you have any suggestions, please do!
This is the first time Chelsea have given up 4 big chances in open play (OPBC) this season.
Prior to this, they had only given up three OPBC once before (Liverpool 2-2) and two OPBC twice: 0-1 defeat to City and 1-0 win v Brentford.

I pointed out on an episode of @Podcast_WFH as well as on the @CraqueStats podcast episode with @P_Lazaridis that the aim of sportswashing is to create an uncompetitive league.
Despite their financial inferiority and lower starting point under Klopp, @LFC the only team in recent memory to challenge City as an attacking force in the #EPL one team league. But people see no problem with this... @thetomkinstimes
The #CraqueStatsPodcast will be returning soon now @babuyagu has replaced his failing recording equipment.
Until then, here is Stephen on the @SempreIntercom podcast previewing tomorrow's match between @Inter and @LFC.
#INTLIV #LFC #UCL
Hey Everyone,
Was a guest on the @SempreIntercom podcast last night to talk about the game on Wednesday - why Liverpool are a scary team to face and where Inter could have some luck.
Our contribution to the 'Have things improved under Rangnick' debate.
Yes. Definitely. Their underlying levels were relegation-levels bad before so it wouldn't be hard to improve on that. Things are certainly better but still far away from those of a top side. But you need to
With so many games around europe postponed due to COVID, we thought it would be interesting to share our Points per Game league table.
It also lets you compare across leagues given that each is at different point in the season, or in the Bundesliga's case, playing fewer games.

My feeling on this is that Kelleher doesn't need to be this high here. He should stay deep to maximise his reaction times and give himself the best chance of getting a dive in down low. Although, of course, that means he has more goal to cover.
Craque Stats retweeted
The focus on this goal will be Harry Armoire again but if ever there was a team crying out for a #6 it is United. Look at the space here between the CBs and MF. This is what @hesbighesred and I were talking about in the podcast when we mentioned the space between the lowest and
What an assist from Wout Weghorst against Man Utd!

@Jhdharrison1 and I talked about this on a podcast. At what point as a goalkeeper do you catch sight of a ball on a FK? If you react when you first see it, is there time to start your dive? How do you solve this?
Clearly here, Pickford shows that no - there isn't time.
Craque Stats retweeted
Just to point out - I was highlighting how good Dalot's attacking play was years ago when AWB was being signed to replace him. It didn't make sense to me at the time to take a potentially top-class attacking outlet and replace him with someone who was dreadful with the ball.
Replying to @CraqueStats
So now we will look at it multiple ways. How many chances they are creating (blue), how many goals they are creating (orange), the expected goals value of those chances (green) and the number of big chances being created (red) per 90 from each players crosses.
