From the start of the game Brighton built with a 2-4-4 and Spurs pressed with a 4-1-4-1 using Solanke to divide the pitch and go aggressively man to man in wide areas. Image This generally forced Brighton to go long and Spurs would normally win the second ball in midfield. This occured in the lead up to Spurs opener. Image

Summer 2023 Squad Analysis

Was really hoping to do this in video form before I'm gone but planning/preparing for two weddings and a honeymoon has taken away all my time. I've changed my mind a little bit on how I see us lining-up under Ange next season since my initial ideas. Image

With it now clearly established that Spurs are overly reliant on Dejan Kulusevski and a back-up is sorely looking we can start looking ahead to the January window. We can build a profile the ideal Conte advanced playmaker by comparing Kulusevski with Eden Hazard.

First we can say wow, Hazard was absurd even in a season Chelsea finished 5th.

But then let's name the metrics both players are above 75th percentile for. Image

Post-Shot Expected Goals - Goals Allowed is, conceptually, a brilliant metric for measuring a goalkeeper's shot stopping ability and, for the most part, passes the eye test pretty well. Image But it also seems to swing quite a lot from one season to the next for a given keeper; suggesting that there's either a fair bit of luck involved or perhaps a couple of extreme games can warp things heavily.

Aaaaalright let's talk about Dani Ceballos.

What type of player is this?

To me Ceballos profiles mostly as a controlling/progressing CM.

Which is a role we just spent like 60m on.

That's not to say we couldn't possibly take on more players there. We're only one injury from trouble & hey, we could always sell Sissoko while his stock is high.

With so many eyes on the World Cup this summer women's football is in a really interesting place, developmentally, and it reminds me a little of the rise and fall of female mixed martial artist Ronda Rousey. Back in the early 2010s women's MMA wasn't in a great place.

Essentially the sport is mostly dominated by a single promotion, the UFC, who at the time had no female fighters. Again, and again, UFC president Dana White insisted he wasn't interested in creating women's divisions.
