✅ This is the result of my data analysis on the specific play-styles teams employ in the PL this season! Plenty of interesting talking points up for discussion off this 🤔 If you are interested in my methodology for this study, check out the link in the follow-up tweet 👇

The difference between Havertz in CL and Havertz in domestic cups needs to be studied. It’s insane atp 🤣

So essentially a fan can fly a tactical drone above a stadium to get a game stopped if their team are under pressure in a spell of a game? Doesn’t sound right.

Olise based on actual performance had a good argument to win the whole thing (and it wasn’t super close either) and he came 9th lmfaooo man nuke this award

Not meant to be a slight on Kane btw happy for him and he deserved it (Mbappe winning it would’ve been a disgrace) But yeah this award needs to be scrapped and restarted by a different organisation who will arrange an acceptable voting panel. The current set up is a circus.

Just a sensational defensive performance by Gabriel.

This openness in transition over the last couple of games is the whole tradeoff. Playing vertical attacking football, passing through the middle, quick restarts, all that is risk that leads to ball losses and transitions. We actually have the defenders for that, so I’m not mad.

And at the risk of being Captain Obvious, this is so much more enjoyable to watch.

There is this narrative that Merino-Rice-Øde midfield doesn’t work because of a few bad results (lots of variance in these games) in 24/25, but people forget that we played by far our worst football of last season with Rice-Zubi-Øde in that January run.

That stale-ass 3-2-5 with Rice and Øde in the pockets will haunt me for life. The switch back to a double pivot saved the season (and the whole project).

People exposing themselves with all this Merino outcry. This midfield 3 works and in fact completely changed the game vs Forest when Merino came on in the end.

Merino will not be deep in the build-up, he’ll effectively be playing second striker. MLS inverting on his side and Ødegaard wants to drop deep all the time. Merino might not be the most conventional pocket presence, but he is effective in these spaces.

Man atp how do you even pretend to be hopeful of what comes next as a United fan. It feels like they’ve tried everything, process never been perfect but anything they do eventually turns to shit. Every good season in 13 years has unequivocally proven to be a false dawn. Brutal.

Don’t get me wrong the process has been awful most of the time but even when they’ve been sensible in their player recruitment and/or coach hiring, it never seems to work for more than one season, and even in those seasons they haven’t been remotely close to winning league/CL.

I mean I didn’t have super high expectations from this game before but you have to stick it to them with that lineup. Kind of a big test for Arsenal in possession, game is pretty meaningless so it’s a good chance to go for it and give a confident performance. Would be a big boost

Joel looks incredible man. Defense not looked like that in years. Cut the grifting turnovers down and we are cooking up an insane season.
