How does Lampard keep getting jobs in the top two divisions?! |

Spot on. Said it elsewhere. The second stems from him tackling Willock when they were in a dangerous position.
Tackles matter.
You can transition to attacks when the opposition isn’t set when you make them.
We still don’t make enough of them as a team. Cardiff made more tackles and more than double the number of fouls as we did, yet they were only out of possession for 32% of the game.
We have been out tackled in almost every game this season. |

Shout out to Sam Field for the tackle on Willock, stopped their dangerous attack and started the move for our second.
Tackles, they matter. |

Exactly.
The second goal was encouraging. The first was obviously very good but felt like a touch/finish combo that does not go in 99/100. The second was the type of opportunity you have 5-10 times a season and he took it really well.
What I would say is the way they play, I’d still always be staying Frey and have Celar as the replacement for the last 20. I think Frey’s all round game is still miles better and his physicality will help us gain footholds in matches. Celar is potentially a better bet on the counter in the last 20, if we’re holding on. |

Polter was half decent. But what I meant is why not £5 or £10 or £7.50, even £4 or £6? Whatever! But £7.35 is niche. Your maths must be excellent. |

Thank God for this result!
Fair play to Celar. Excellent finishes. But we hung on there and we’re doing so by the skin of our teeth for much of that second half. And Nardi was our MoTM. Kept us in it.
Loved Field’s reaction at the final whistle. Literally jumped for joy and punched the air. |

Spot on.
We have lost all structure and any semblance of control we had.
Just attack vs defence this. It is CARDIFF. They are 21st. |

I don’t think it’s infallible though, is it? If digitally tracked how has every piece of action been defined? There will be errors and grey areas. It’s inevitable, and given the volume of the data points is quite low, any errors at all can change how you interpret the data.
If it’s a human, it’s very subjective.
I agree it is useful broadly accurate. But it is there to inform analysis not dictate it. |

Smyth is having a stinker of a match here.
Madsen’s corners keep hitting the first man.
Cardiff are coming into this. I think I’d bring on Morgan too. |

Thanks, E17.
Madsen Watch: 0 tackles and 0 interceptions. Varane and Field have 5 between them. They also have higher pass completion %s.
I would be incentivising our squad with tackle bonuses. We need to incentivise the right behaviours. |

You can’t help but think Saito would look like a perfectly good Premier League player if he was surrounded by Premier League players. Some of our other players wouldn’t look like footballers in the same situation. |

I noted that. Research must have consisted of “oh, look he’s tall…and Danish, you say…”.
He is such an infuriating watch Madsen. Good first touch and clearly has some technical ability. But he has no position on a football pitch. Too lightweight, lazy, and asleep off the ball to be a 6. Doesn’t run enough - sprints, proper sprints - to be a box to box 8. And he doesn’t get anywhere near the number 9, not carry the ball at his feet to be a 10. He’s not quick enough to be a winger. He has no position.
I think he’s the type of player who may be better suited to a slower, less physical league (Italy?) where his physical failings and softness would be less of an issue and his technicality something you could afford. But I’d question if his discipline off the ball would work on Italy. Most managers would lose patience with him. |

Hahahaha!
Where did that come from? Amazing if true. The lack of self awareness is staggering. |

Exactly. Lloyd was in the Conference and Morgan was in Spurs’ U18s.
Our problem is the quality of the squad and fitness/injuries, it’s not the manager. And who are responsible for the former? |

It is pretty clear he cannot stand Nourry, things he’s getting sacked, and does not want to go.
The little comment about “data” embedded in one of the answers was also telling.
Also the comment about him being clear to those above what we need, indicates a) he thinks the squad is poor and b) they haven’t signed what he wants (yet).
All in all, sad. He is clearly feeling the pressure - understandable given the situation - feels exasperated at what he can do with so many injuries and this squad, and does not feel supported by the CEO/DOF. |
