I reckon, from detailed observations, we must improve at football.

It’s interesting to see it laid out like that. I must say I generally don’t look at stats as I can’t be bothered. I just watch (almost) every game and form opinions based on that. Seeing it laid bare though is quite stark.

Very interesting, thank you. We all know we were good last season, and bad so far this season, and seeing it broken down like that is quite damning.
The DOF should be asking Slot what the strategy is going to be to improve in all those areas. We have a squad that - if it ever gets fit and firing - should be comfortably top four, and with one or two moves (central defence, Salah replacement) should be poised to fight hard for the league for the duration.
Right now we are not getting anything like the performance level we should see on that pitch.
A win today against Sunderland and let’s try to keep going to get it back.

The club should be asking what the fuck the stats staff are doing. How that’s being communicated to Slot or not. Then what the fuck is Slot doing with that information.
It’s a quandary to me how we have dropped so badly since, what, February.

Diaz did often play a significant role in our set up when defending set pieces, so you can see how exchanging him for Wirtz would be something we’d have to accommodate by shifting around some other responsibilities. You could see how that would have some negative impact, but there isnt much else that has changed in terms of personnel that would explain that level of drop off.

Thought this was a very good tactical overview of our victory against West Ham.
