Elche CF vs FC Barcelona (1-2) Post Match Thread #FCBarcelona #LaLiga

1) Pass Network
Barca dominated most of the game, but there was a lack of wide outlet on the left due to Gavi playing as a false winger. Lot of chances created, scoreline could've been bigger for Barca.
2) Shot Map
Barca took a lot of shots, failing to convert a lot of easy goals. Elche too took a few many shots, mostly out of the box, compared to Barca who were shooting more from inside the box.
3) Attacking Sides
Barca were the most dominant in the middle third, completing 147 passes in the middle third, followed by the left and right side. Elche were less involved in the opp. third, mostly entering through the center.
4) Pass Cluster
Barca made the highest number of passes in the centre, mostly between the defenders, Araujo and Pique, and the midfielders, Busquets and Frenkie de Jong.
5) xT Generation
Elche's Fidel was the highest xT performer of the game, followed by Jordi Alba and Ousmane Dembele. Dani Alves, Adama Traore and Pique were quite threatening too, along with Kike Perez and Pere Milla.
6) xT Generation by Midfielders
Frenkie was mostly threating from the left, and Pedri on the right. Busquets was again a force in the center midfield, generating xT from almost all parts of the midfield.
7) xT Generation by Teams
Both teams' gameplan quite clear here. Barca generated most xT through buildup in the center, while Elche mostly tried long balls from the back. They also targeted the left wing, to take advantage of Alves.

THREAD: Analyzing how de Gea creates problems for Manchester United . #ManchesterUnited

With the topic of de Gea becoming a cause of constant division among the ManU fanbase, I decided to add my views on the subject, hopefully changing some people's views on the same. Image
As you can see in the illustration below, de Gea staying back at his line means there is one less man for ManU to build-up from the back, much to the contrast of other modern teams like Barcelona, Arsenal and their Manchester counterparts, Manchester City. Image
de Gea staying back at his spot when balls are played over/approaching him means the defenders have to lower the defensive line and thus lowering the entire team. It also means they lack a safe passing option under pressure from opponent strikers. Image

THREAD🚨🚨: Analyzing Arsenal's season up until now using data.

First of all, let's look into Arsenal's Pass Networks for the last 3 games. Even though they were doing good before, Xhaka made them much better, relieving Partey of some of his defensive duties.
#ARSWHU
Currently in the 4th place in the Premier League, Arsenal have 29 points to their name. This calls for an look to their xPoints performance. And, it looks like they're overperforming their xP by 3 points currently.
Looking at the PPDA stats, Arsenal aren't a high pressing team, with low successful pressures stats. However, when coming to the eye test, Arsenal have done quite good with high pressing in certain sequences, allowing them to win the ball in dangerous situations.
