Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
it’s been exactly five years since Daichi Kamada ended Unai Emery’s tenure at Arsenal, and that’s what I’m most thankful for today.
Hopefully this time next year I can be thankful for the PL/CL we win this season.

Increased lateral freedom in the final third for our interiors seems to have been the main tweak out of the international break.
There were occurrences against Forest, but Rice is routinely sliding over to the right while Ødegaard has popped up on the left at times as well.

When your team can’t access the middle, doesn’t know how to execute attacking transitions out of a low block and can’t score a goal without getting a dozen set pieces, plus your captain actively makes your best player worse and you refuse to invest in a top-tier LW, but you’re just a chill guy

I’ve been on the Wilfried Nancy train since his first few matches in Columbus last season (@minimumwidth.bsky.social can attest), this is the latest in a long list of deserved accolades for him.
Most exciting managerial prospect on the continent — he should find success in Europe once he returns.

Deserved coach of the year win for Wilfried Nancy, whose Columbus Crew side played the best soccer of any team I've seen in MLS and competed in multiple competitions at an unprecedented level.
Really hope he's back in 2025 for one more shot after the disappointing playoff exit.

I doubt Antony (reportedly suggested by Klopp) was ever Liverpool’s preferred course of action at RW in 2022.
However, it does highlight the importance of:
a. Financial side of a deal
b. Maximizing the ability of a player
c. Not letting managers have too much say in direct recruitment

This post was inspired by the guy I saw using xG + xGA to profile a player and also evaluate their development.
Everyone is free to watch and think about the sport how you like, but I’d implore you to not do that, and I certainly won’t be having any dialogue with you if you do.

The misuse of football data in the is still one of the most infuriating things I see daily.
Aside from the misinterpretation and horrific application of basic stats, 99% of the meaningful data in the sport needs visual collection, and the remaining 1% yields a narrow, often wrong, perspective.
