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.
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.
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.

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.
