Wow Thanks! I should have been working but devoured these statistics instead. Explains why Bielsa wants this Gelhadt kid even though so young. Explains why Bielsa was willing to part with Roofe. The one metric that I absolutely did not expect was that of Bailey Peacock-Farrell who appears to have been (in varying degrees) at fault for many of the opponents goals during his time as 1st team goalie. I have commented here that I thought his positioning for various set pieces was not great but that he did have genuine shotblocking skills. From these metrics it appears that he wasn't great from any sort of shots outside the box. I simply don't remember that.
thanks MrsO very interesting read.
With better players MB can do more - simples!
Think that White is the key to ev rything. One player does not make a team but he is the cornerstone
Looks like we have harrison for another season
If anyone wants an interesting read - inverting the pyramid is very good and it deals with tactical evolution over the years!
