Just a quick reminder that, despite having a goal difference 27 goals better off than the next best... Ajax are currently losing a three way title race in ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ฑ

๐Ÿ‘€๐Ÿ‘€๐Ÿ‘€๐Ÿ‘€ Image
That's not meant as a knock on Ajax btw, but more about how surprisingly competitive the Eredivisie is this year!

๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ด Luis Sinisterra has helped Feyenoord this season with 10 G/A

๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ฑ Cody Gakpo also has 15 G/A for PSV
Let's not forget @AFHStewart 's adopted child, Mr Ibrahim Sangare ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฎ

The 24 year old has played at LCM at the base of a 4-2-3-1, and looked a level above himself from 20/21 imo
I recently knocked the Eredivisie for it's recent talent production. There's been some players who have had their value inflated there, left for a top 5 European club, and failed. H Image
However, is this a sign the times are changing? I'm going to be keeping a close eye on things, even if I do think Ajax will still romp clear.

Keep up with the news with @FootballOranje_ though, those guys are class + the home of Dutch football news! ๐Ÿ‘

The Arthur stuff is still just interest, but are Arsenal better placed putting their eggs in the basket of Bruno Guimaraes ๐Ÿค”๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡ท
Whoever gets Bruno is getting a helluva player. This season he has been a bit rash, and awkward in transition - I think that's more down to Lyons playstyle under ultra-aggressive pressing manager Peter Bosz.
Watching Bruno is like watching a defensive midfielder rolled into a playmaker, who then has the ability to make the final run + shot to score!

THREAD ๐ŸฆŠ

๐Ÿ”Ÿgoals conceded from set pieces since matchday two... no wonder Brendan Rodgers called them Leicester's "Achilles heel".

Well, here's the factos. Leicester are truly AWFUL from dead ball situations, and though the blame is shared, one man could be responsible...
BTW as well as data from FBREF and Sofascore in this thread, stick around for eye test too ๐Ÿ‘๏ธ

That said, I haven't watched every Leicester game, so take that into account.
"Is this just a freak hot streak that won't last?"

I don't think so. As you can see below, no Premier League side has had more dead-ball passes lead to a shot in the 21/22 season ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

Donning the jerseys of Barcelona and Juventus should be a sign of skill, class and honour๐Ÿ’ซ

Arthur Melo though is 25 years old and a conundrum ๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡ท. Over ยฃ90 million has been transferred on him, he's just a waste of money...or is he?

Guys, I know how to fix Arthur Melo... Image
Arthur is a Brazilian midfielder who came through at Gremio, before moving to Barcelona for around 40 million euros in 2018.

This came after Arthur made 50 appearances for Gremio, scoring 2โƒฃ goals and assisting 3โƒฃ.
So, let's first try and see why Barcelona spent so much money on him. Because, Arthur is 7th most expensive Brazilian ๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡ท league export of all time, more than:
Alexandre Pato
Robinho
David Neres
Bruno Guimaraes

All players who have been far more noteworthy in Europe so far ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ Image

With Spurs scoring just 9 goals in 9 games, plenty of fans completely disassociated with the side and #Nunoout trending every matchday....here's a data led look into the decline of Spurs this season...and beyond๐Ÿ“Š
DISCLAIMER:

All stats are from FBREF - I have watched Spurs this season a few times, but the numbers are just there for conversation - not completely for conclusions
"But...they're 6th? Nuno got manager of the month? ๐Ÿค”๐Ÿค”๐Ÿค”"

Yes, and this thread will not end saying Nuno must go. However, Spurs have been turgid at points this season;

-In the Arsenal game, their defensive shape was shambolic
-They lack ANY creativity

There's a lot going on..
