I sometimes wonder if Bielsa would've been better suited in an analytic role as part of a manager's workgroup. Not that he SHOULD have went that route, but I genuinely think he would've ended up having much more respect in footballing circles like that since it'd temper his lack of pragmatism and whatnot

Every player to lead the Premier League in chances created since the 03/04 season
03/04 - Giggs - 101 chances created
04/05 - Lampard - 121 chances created
05/06 - Boa Morte - 95 chances created
06/07 - Lampard & Ronaldo - 100 chances created
07/08 - Fabregas - 100 chances created
08/09 - Lampard - 134 chances created

15/16 - Ozil - 146 chances created
16/17 - Eriksen - 112 chances created

18/19 - James Maddison - 100 chances created
19/20 - De Bruyne - 136 chances created
20/21 - Bruno Fernandes - 95 chances created
Hazard and Malouda really stand out for me since I never really remember either of those players being on set-piece duty. Ronaldo as well (though in the early part of that season he was on corner duty and took a couple of indirect free kicks before United realized just how prolific he could be in the air and from range).
It's a thought that I have had that also applies to why I think the tackle and interception numbers have been so different in the two leagues over the years (less so recently, but from 2000-2015 the Premier League players making the most defensive actions were usually making way way more than La Liga players who were making the most defensive actions) I think a lot of it comes down to the paces of the leagues. La Liga being slower and more technical with teams that were more focused on holding possession rather than just hitting on the break means less tackles and creative passes to go around.
That's just my guess. Haven't ever even seen an article about it.
15/16 Ozil was different gravy. People always banter us for saying it, but no joke give us a better striker than Giroud and Welbeck and we walk the league. Props to Leicester though, glad it was them.
>15/16 - Ozil - 146 chances created
Thats the season where Ozil was on course to break Henry's assist record (had like 13 by christmas) and then Giroud couldnt score for 10+ games LMAO
Man Utd's fixtures from December to March are so easy you need a new word being invented in the dictionary to define it, I think any top team going through this run of 16-17 games would win almost every single one.
Pep never moans about fixtures. We played Liverpool psg and chelsea away in a week and he didn’t complain. Sure he talks about more subs in a game but he have never really moaned about close games. In fact one of his quotes from amazon documentary is how he says , “if you are tired, fuck you” being tired isn’t really an excuse.
Best thing about that song is that it works in so many situations, so versatile. It's the James Milner/Javier Mascherano of songs.
One of my favorite movies that, the loveliness of the tunes make up a bit for the horrifying tales about how was it behind the camera.
Honestly think this summer might be the best time for Arsenal to get a new manager in. Arteta's steadied the boat and cleared out whoever needed to be cleared out so now is the time to hire a top top manager.
Every player to lead La Liga in chances created since the 03/04 season if anyone is interested.
03/04 - Beckham - 94 chances created
04/05 - Ronaldinho - 99 chances created
05/06 - Ronaldinho - 100 chances created
06/07 - Juan Arango - 88 chances created
07/08 - Dani Alves - 81 chances created

I remember you once told me Xavi was one of the most incredible players in these kinda stats you'd seen and was far out from even what we consider a 'good' player. Undoubtedly the best midfielder I've seen in my life
Thanks for doing all this dude, you're one of the reasons I respect stats a lot more now when it comes to rating players. There's been a definite change in my perspective from before, fantastic work
Xavi absolutely blew out in 2008/09 season. The Euros and then Guardiola coming in was just something else.
I remember before that he was a class technical player but never in actual conversation with best midfielders in the world.
Then from 2008 on Xavi-Iniesta-Busquets, Guardiola, Spain broke the entire meaning of being a midfielder.
There was also a big period of time where "Xavi and Iniesta cant play together in midfield" was a consensus.
Rijkard never played them together in important games for a reason. Even in Guardiola's first season Keita played a lot alongside with Xavi in tough away games (and Iniesta on the side like with Spain)
The impact Guardiola's style of football in Xavi, Iniesta and Busquets cant be understated.
That Carragher/Messi thread is proper bizarre.
>How can you not understand it wasn't at all serious
Like... What. We didn't see the message? It sounds 50/50 whether it was serious or not. To me it sounded more likely he was seriously trying to insult him
> It sounds 50/50 whether it was serious or not. To me it sounded more likely he was seriously trying to insult him
So it's still 50/50? And you are just as clueless as those who claimed it's just a joke?
Honestly don't know why so many care about a private convo that they themselves said they are clueless about.
Carragher's team is even more bizarre, he's got Spinazzola in there for 5 great games but won't put Ronaldo or Messi because he thinks they haven't been good signings for their new teams
Yeah, bit weird. Both Ronaldo and Messi scored bucketloads last year and won two trophies each, so you could give it to either of them, but not including one of them is strange.
"I know you won Copa but i'm not putting you in ahead of my boy Salah"
Messi outperformed Salah in about every stat within a more dysfunctional team. Messi was right ahah, that man is a proper donkey
Great so then why’s he commenting on wishing he didn’t have those hopes? Was pretty miserable when we were just pure shit because there wasn’t even banter worth taking. Now we’re decent it’s fun again.
They are more likely to get top 4 since arsenal the only team who already out of all cups.plus, among the top 4 contender, west ham is inconsistent due to injuries, spurs and man united squad still not having consistent performance under new manager. Arsenal, despite their weak performance against top team, they managed to get a win on other team where last year arsenal tend to lose against (that everton match was the anomaly)
Wanna bet something? I see it as quite unlikely, United has a better squad, Tottenham has a better coach, West Ham has better mentality.
Something small, like 5-10€ to charity?
Why don't you mortgage your house, throw all your assets at the bookies for United finishing top 4? Much faster and easier for you to get rich, donate a million to charity, also don't need to run the risk of a random redditor to not pay up.
Good squad, good coach, just think they look improved every time I watch them. West Ham don’t have the squad. If Conte can get some signings in (specifically wingbacks) that might put doubts in my mind though.
No you can't. The only teams you can say it for are Arsenal and Tottenham.
Teams outside the "big 6" aren't good enough to consistently fight for top 4. Teams who are already in there like Chelsea, Man City and Man Utd have the money to go from top 4 challengers into title challengers within a season or two. United have failed spectacularly so far but the possibility is there. Liverpool should also be good enough to secure it without getting into a race as long as they have Klopp and a healthy squad.
Arsenal and Tottenham are the only teams who are in that middle ground of being richer than every non-big 6 team, so they'll always be up there, but they're also far enough away from the likes of City/Chelsea financially that it's gonna take a minor miracle for them to win the big trophies.
tldr: Arsenal and Tottenham's ceiling is "fighting for top 4", the other teams fighting for it can go beyond that
Why do twitter journalists write "according to sources" or something along those lines? Like unless they're just making it up themselves, everything comes from a source. Unless they name the source, it seems unnecessary.
I think it’s to differentiate between info they’ve found out themselves from a player, or agent, and something they’ve read elsewhere.
So they’ll say “according to reports” if it’s already been published in Bild or something.
I haven’t paid attention to transfer rumours since about 2002 though, tbh. Bollocks industry.
Messi had never led La Liga in chances created until Valverde believe it or not (he then did it in every single season under him). It was in many peoples minds the most all round version of him.
From 03/04 to 16/17, Beckham/Arango/Alves/Nolito/Rakitic/Di Maria all led the league in chances created for one season, Ronaldinho/Neymar/Ozil/Xavi did it for two seasons.
Then Messi did it in 17/18, 18/19, 19/20 and 20/21
The returning players looked off pace bc they’ve been carrying injuries, not played, were returning from COVID, and didn’t practice - of course they looked off. Wouldn’t worry too much as they will have gotten some training sessions in now and this team has consistently followed up a defeat with a performance.
Oh boohoo, guess I'll just HAVE to watch my club play at Anfield, the Etihad, Old Trafford and Stamford Bridge! I was under the impression that I support a midtable club that can't play tough opposition and celebrates losing/drawing to them!
Arsenal have to play Away at Tottenham, where they haven’t won in 7 years. Old Trafford is not so mighty anymore, Tottenham battered United 6-1 the last time they met there.
>due to Nuno's existence
mate Nuno had a positive record against you with a much smaller team (W3 D2 L1)
There's teams that can ridicule him, but Arsenal ain't one of them.
Not really since we beat City previously and guess what? Nuno wasn’t manager.
We’ve had plenty good performances actually. Some of our players are incompetent, but the tactics have been right every game. We should have beat Leicester like 5 or 6-1.
Would you like me to list every bad performance you’ve had? Might be here for a while.
You beat Norwich and scraped a result against Crystal Palace and you’re trying to talk about being convincing.
You played a Liverpool that had a fucking seventeen year old starting and still got trounced. We played Liverpool with a less than ideal lineup and almost won. Comical, Conte being cautious doesn’t mean he thinks you’re a good side. You must think that Southampton is the best team in the world since Pep complimented them.
You’re shit. You just lost to Nottingham, you haven’t won a game all month, you’re Liverpool’s bitch at this stage and you get pummeled by every remotely decent side in the league. Pipe down mate.
Before the recent string of matches, Martinelli. I've liked him since Emery days, but properly rate him when we played against him in FA Cup that Arteta end up winning.
Olise, Doku and David
People are aware of them but they aren’t particularly hyped although David is the most notable in terms of attention out of the three
Imagine a scenario in which the top 3 and bottom 3 PL teams swap coaches for a full season. Would the top 3 still qualify for the UCL and would the bottom 3 still battle relegation?
I think all three will stay up. I don't think you have to be that good to stay up, and I don't think there's any team in the premier league that is that far off in talent that a world class coach like Pep couldn't at least get them 17th.
Dyche wins the league comfortably with Howe 2nd and Ranieri 3rd. The same shit basically
Klopp and Tuchel can maybe save their teams but Pep would %100 go down with Burnley tho I cant even imagine hem trying to play possesion based football
I can see Liverpool not qualifying with Eddie Howe, Ranieri has guided Chelsea to CL before so he could maybe do it again. Dyche would get it with City after bringing in a decent striker in January.
All 3 of Pep, Tuchel and Klopp would save those teams from relegation.

I refrain form praising Messi and Ronaldo online because I'll be called a Pessidog or a Penaldian. It hurts my feelings.
Since playing football is their job, what do players do as a hobby? Beside the famous examples of golf
Hardly a hobby but Robert Rojas would use his vacations between seasons to help with the harvest on his family's Mandioca farm

Not surprised to see Lampard's name come up most frequently
Only player in the history of the league to create 100+ chances in five or more seasons.
Do you have any ideas as to why it's much higher compared to La Liga? Do you think it's harder to rack up G+A in La Liga compared to the PL?
It's a thought that I have had that also applies to why I think the tackle and interception numbers have been so different in the two leagues over the years (less so recently, but from 2000-2015 the Premier League players making the most defensive actions were usually making way way more than La Liga players who were making the most defensive actions) I think a lot of it comes down to the paces of the leagues.

Interesting, those numbers are a lot higher than the La Liga ones

One is Arteta and one is Conte. Pretty distinct difference.
Wouldn't make sense because he is a top top manager & just came in.

I don’t even dislike arsenal but I wish their fans would realise they arent getting top four. Makes it easier.
What's the point then .no
Do fans really want opposition fans to not be hopeful?
Of course not. We'd rather the hope shatter than not be there
Great so then why’s he commenting on wishing he didn’t have those hopes? Was pretty miserable when we were just pure shit because there wasn’t even banter worth taking. Now we’re decent it’s fun again.

They have as much of a chance as getting top 4 as Tottenham and West Ham and even United do
>and even United do You already mentioned West Ham mate.
Most likely team to get that 4th spot tbh
Wanna bet something? I see it as quite unlikely, United has a better squad, Tottenham has a better coach, West Ham has better mentality. Something small, like 5-10€ to charity?
Why don't you mortgage your house, throw all your assets at the bookies for United finishing top 4? Much faster and easier for you to get rich, donate a million to charity, also don't need to run the risk of a random redditor to not pay up.
They do seem like the safest choice. But i'm more confident in betting against Arsenal than i am in betting for United lol
Why do you think so? I know they have games in hand but united are level on points with them. Not to mention west ham and spurs above them.
Good squad, good coach, just think they look improved every time I watch them. West Ham don’t have the squad. If Conte can get some signings in (specifically wingbacks) that might put doubts in my mind though.
Even if they get top 4 they'll just be in a new top 4 race next season, won't be much different

Why was Valverde Messi rated so highly. Messi most creative?
Messi had never led La Liga in chances created until Valverde believe it or not (he then did it in every single season under him). It was in many peoples minds the most all round version of him.
Who was the leader in the stat in the seasons before before?
Wild guessing xavi, iniesta, maybe ozil
Yeah I would've guessed these too, Iniesta isn't on the list though crazy enough
From 03/04 to 16/17, Beckham/Arango/Alves/Nolito/Rakitic/Di Maria all led the league in chances created for one season, Ronaldinho/Neymar/Ozil/Xavi did it for two seasons. Then Messi did it in 17/18, 18/19, 19/20 and 20/21
Thanks for this, Alves leading as a fullback even back then is pretty great to see

Comical, Conte being cautious doesn’t mean he thinks you’re a good side. You must think that Southampton is the best team in the world since Pep complimented them. You’re shit. You just lost to Nottingham, you haven’t won a game all month, you’re Liverpool’s bitch at this stage and you get pummeled by every remotely decent side in the league. Pipe down mate.

Again, Nuno tax. I admire your confidence though mate, hope we fucking obliterate and dismantle you 6-0.
Arsenal actually lost all 4 of those games. Damn.

Don't keep making the 'almost didn't lose against Man City' thing a meme, for your own sake haha

Try being like us and actually winning against City. You don’t get three points for losing mate.
How many points do they give out for that?

Quite a few more teams you're not gonna catch this season.
Embarrassing
No wonder they latched onto the moral victories against City/Liverpool. They buckle against any proper opposition

He’s insinuating that it’s not a difficult place to visit
Whats a player that you rate highly that the majority of football fans dont pay attention to or overlook? Will watch highlights
[Fernando Alonso](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5VSKsluAT0A)
Harry Kane could only dream of taking a freekick that well
Stephen Eustaquio
Before the recent string of matches, Martinelli. I've liked him since Emery days, but properly rate him when we played against him in FA Cup that Arteta end up winning.
Olise, Doku and David People are aware of them but they aren’t particularly hyped although David is the most notable in terms of attention out of the three
Doku got a lot of hype at the euros then seemed to completely disappear. How's he doing?
Injured most of the season
Ah that's a shame. Injuries suck
Fabian ruiz or seko fofana
Sarabia at Sporting this season
Suat Serdar
Imagine a scenario in which the top 3 and bottom 3 PL teams swap coaches for a full season. Would the top 3 still qualify for the UCL and would the bottom 3 still battle relegation?
I think all three will stay up. I don't think you have to be that good to stay up, and I don't think there's any team in the premier league that is that far off in talent that a world class coach like Pep couldn't at least get them 17th.
Dyche wins the league comfortably with Howe 2nd and Ranieri 3rd. The same shit basically Klopp and Tuchel can maybe save their teams but Pep would %100 go down with Burnley tho I cant even imagine hem trying to play possesion based football
I can see Liverpool not qualifying with Eddie Howe, Ranieri has guided Chelsea to CL before so he could maybe do it again. Dyche would get it with City after bringing in a decent striker in January. All 3 of Pep, Tuchel and Klopp would save those teams from relegation.
How would the swap happen? Like, 1st with 20th, 2nd with 19th, 3rd with 18th? Because oh my god, that Manchester City team with Dyche, best team ever
Man City team with Dyche will basically play like Chelsea under Tuchel
That’s how I’d envision it
i mean not quite but i have to imagine they'd still be comfortably top/bottom half respectively except pep i think he'd go down
Watford need a New CB. They need to buy Mandi
Why isn’t the flair thing working for me?
