Interesting statistical analysis on why Leicester's attack has declined so much this year. Wish we could see an analysis like this on the Quakes. 809764819825999872 is not a valid tweet id
This site has a graphical analysis for evaluating the manager https://experimental361.com/2016/12/29/introducing-long-term-trend-graphics/
The Quakes don't have an "attack" to analyze :-(. It would be like trying to do a chemical analysis on a vacuum. "In the desert, you can't remember your name 'cause there ain't no one for to for to give you no name."
It would look like this: Service to forwards: crap Possession in attacking half: crap Completed pass percentage: average Completed pass in attacking half percentage: poor Long balls: TFM Average number of players in offensive half when Quakes are in possession: 4 Tackles won: below league average Passes resulting in loss of possession: above league average I'm sure you can fill in the rest. (TFM = Too F-ing Many) Very disappointed!
This is a verrrry interesting graph. I don't fully understand it. Yellow = defender, blue = MF, green = forward? Where's Giovinco? What does it mean that Shea makes 2 key passes per game but they are only 72% accurate? Or does it mean that Shea makes 2 key passes per game, but in general only 72% of all his passes are accurate? Does this mean Sasha Kljestan and MPG are the best DPs in MLS? hahaha Does it mean Godoy is better than Alonso? What does all this mean and does anyone within MLS (coaches, pundits, etc) believe it?
Tommy Thompson, BTW, averaged 2.0 key passes per 90 last year, with an 82.2 passing completion percentage. He is somewhere just north of Gio Dos Santos and just south of Steven Gerrard on that graph. Compare that to Salinas (1.8 key passes per 90, with a 71.4% pass completion percentage). Tommy averages more key passes and completes passes at a rate that is over 10% higher! Quintero has 1.7 key passes per 90 and an 81.7% pass completion rate. Dawkins has about the same pass completion rate as TT, but only 1.2 key passes per 90. So on the basis of that comparison, TT is the Quakes best midfielder . Give the guy a starting job already! Salinas: 1.8, 71.4% TT: 2.0, 82.2 % Quintero: 1.7, 81.7% Dawkins: 1.2, 82.5%
Yeah, this is a graph that invites a nice, hefty article to go along with it. Not sure if there is one or not, but trying to glean anything from it simply by looking is a difficult task.
It's actually not that hard. You can confirm the data from whoscored. The Y axis is key passes per 90 minutes. The X axis is successful passes percentage. I don't know what the colors mean, but the placement is straightforward. I have an analysis of Quakes midfielders for these same metrics above.
Here something new to add to the metrics: https://www.newscientist.com/articl...-mental-tests-to-see-if-youre-a-good-athlete/ I bet Wondo scores very high in Executive Function.
Tiny sample size so far with only one game played, but americansocceranalysis has fired up their advanced stats pages if anyone wants to keep an eye on them this season: Team Expected Goals stats Player Expected Goals and Assists stats
Wow wouldn't this be a fun class to take? http://www.mlssoccer.com/post/2017/...students-dissect-how-climb-above-red-line-mls
Two tweets on possession... I'm very bored of people taking possession stats from one game and saying 'possession means nothing'.
