If it was pure football by numbers you wouldn’t get player buy in. This is an analysis tool that helps managers by giving them real time data to back up their points when talking to the players. They all do it, Derby were one of the first with pro-zone, under Steve McC and Jim.

This is an example of how big data (which is an important revolution the world is going through) can be applied to football. 

Has no bearing on style of play or no flair. Managers still implement the style of football they want to implement.

Hopefully we do lose the lot of them to Stoke.. It’s a simple game clouded by crap and these guys and sports scientists are leeches who feed off the game.

Burn the witches, right?

So basically, they are interpreting data and making assumptions on what has happened and make recommendations... FFS how much does all that cost. What’s coding as welll?

Analysts watch the game and “code” events into the software. The software aggregates and produces output. It’s just a form of evidence as to what’s happening on the pitch but it’s more comprehensive than a single individual at a single viewpoint. It provides great insight into how the game is being played out. It’s all part and parcel of the game. And as @BramcoteRam84 explains it’s all part of the big data revolution. Supermarkets can now tell when a woman is pregnant before she’s told anybody else simply through her buying behaviour.

Perhaps they might do something like watch loads of games of the oppo and notice that the gk likes to roll out the ball to left cb who will then pass to the left back. The left back is then good at hitting it down the left channel to a good target man. If the left cb is marked, the keeper rolls out to left full back, who then finds the target man.

The team could setup different tactics here.

Mark left cb and left full back.

Mark left cb, but get another player to rush the full back as they know where pass is going.

Mark left back but leave left cb free to recieve ball from keeper.

During the game, an analyst pays particular attention to this to understand how the oppo are reacting to this situation and which approach seems to be having the best impact. They notice right cb seems slow on ball, so suggest that left full back is marked, then both cbs are quickly closed down after ball is rolled out.

We do this, force a mistake from right cb which leads to a goal.

Who needs software ? For most of the games since the new year - the space was in the oppositions half as we weren't there very often !

Seriously though, reading that article, why on earth weren't we set up 10 metres further forward because trying to absorb too deep was what cost us !

Purchasing a kit doesn’t mean somebody is pregnant of course. And Tesco doesn’t sell pregnancy testing kits ...so it’s not quite so straightforward but you get the gist...

Remove a weekly pack of condoms from regular shop, followed by removing alcohol and fags. Simples. Big brother knows all.

Folic Acid....?

Or maybe the man of the house does the shopping and a few months ago he stopped buying condoms.

Now he starts buying 'gentleman's literature' again as the tap that suddenly cane on..is now firmly turned off...?
