This is a beautifully crafted banter stat. Absolutely world class wordsmithing to maximise banter whilst still being technically correct
Here's the context:
VVD has made 4 errors total, 3 leading to goal (LTG)
VVD has also played more minutes than any other player in the league (7203)
7 other players have 3 errors LTG, 2 of them in 40% of the minutes
Obviously not all errors lead to goal, some just lead to shots which aren't scored
19 outfielders have made more errors
Willy Boly has actually made 9 with zero LTG (i.e. somehow he's got away with all 9)
Jonny Evans has 7 with zero LTG
Davinson Sanchez 7 (1 LTG)
If you normalise for minutes played, VVD makes an error every 1801 minutes (every 19 full games). 184 players have made errors more frequently
1615 Gomez
1585 Maguire
1439 Coady
1312 Zouma
1141 Tarkowski
1105 Mee
1013 Stones
924 Lovren
897 Soyuncu
807 Evans
602 Boly
368 P.Jones

The #lfc identity crisis continues. Didn't deserve more than a point today.
So many problems but biggest for me is physical condition of the squad and lack of intensity.
#lfc have been out run in every single match this season.
Minimum 1.7k fewer than opponent, max 7k, average 3.4k per match
Total 20km less than our opponents over the 6 games. In the corresponding fixtures last season we had 11km more.
That's a swing of -5km per match 😬

It's time for my annual update of #EPL shot trends. After 14 years of drastic change we may finally be starting to stabilise. THREAD
1) Shots Outside The Box. Actually increased slightly again last season.
4.4 per team per match down from a peak of 6.6 in 2008/09
Conversion stabilising at just over 1 in 20
2) Shots inside the box. No trend at all here, goal scored every 7.5 shots

If the ESL has been killed, this momentum needs to be used for more.
FIFA, UEFA, the EPL and FA all created the conditions for this to happen. It's their governance that has failed over 30 years, bankrolled by the Sky propaganda machine.
The whole lot needs a wrecking ball
FIFA corruption is legendary, culminating in the awarding of the World Cups to Russia and Qatar. Where was the united football front to force that to be reversed?
UEFA can't enforce its own rules and its Champions League is the primary source of all domestic league imbalance in Europe. Its new CL format is a worse version of the ESL

In a parallel universe where the ESL plan is not announced, todays focus is solely on the approval of UEFA's, frankly awful, new CL format.
A 36 team, single group stage.
10 matches each randomly selected by algorithm.
The 2 highest ranked teams who didn't qualify for CL parachuted in.
Winner plays 17 CL matches
100 extra CL matches overall (!)
That's what was approved today and frankly, it's not worth fighting for.

A reminder of the revised UEFA Champions League format that was, coincidentally, about to be approved today to start in 2024.
THREAD
36 teams in first phase, increase from 32 today.
2 of the places each season to be reserved for highest ranked teams that don't qualify through domestic performance.
Single group stage with all 36 teams playing 10 fixtures randomly selected by algorithm.
Top 8 qualify for knockout stage.
Clubs 9-24 play elimination matches to join top 8.
Round of 16/QF/SF/Final as today.

The closest we've come to a ESL in my lifetime was Media Partners in 1998.
Here's a look at their proposals, many of which look remarkably similar to what was published yesterday.
THREAD
32 teams in 2 ESL divisions, including 4 English sides.
16 "founder members" and 16 others changing from year to year based on league champions and 2nd-4th placed clubs in big leagues.
Founder members based on 10 year performance. NO RELEGATION for 3 seasons.
Minimum 15 games per season, with max of 22.
Matches played midweek with domestic leagues at weekends.
Teams guaranteed between x2 and x3 revenue vs CL at that time.
