If I’m honest, I’m not even sure I understand the point he’s trying to make.

Never a good sign when they start spouting desperate nonsense. He’s not coming back from that point of no return. Time to bring in someone else, Allegri, Poch, Rodgers whoever that may be.

We literally have one of those stats geeks on twitter as a football manager.
What is he on about?

Thanks for explaining the difference between football and basketball Mikel. I was struggling with that, so very helpful. Hopefully he brings similar insights to the training ground, well worth his money that guy.

Who said anything about being sarcasm :pepe1:
He is right tho. The variance in football is huge. Thats why Greece won the Euro 2004. Variance going there way.

He’s not right about anything, it’s pure waffle. He’s misinterpreting the stats to mask terrible performances and justify poor results to save his skin.
His analysis of our performances in comparision to our results is outright deluded

Im talking purely about the quote. You guys hating the man doesnt make the actual quote wrong. Variance in football is huge compared to basketball.
Makes it wrong when you keep dropping points. It’s become an excuse.
The absolute bottom line is that we sit in 15th, a mere 4 points off relegation and it’s almost the end of December.
No amount of shit talking or percentage nonsense can mask this fact.
Our minimum expectation at the beginning of the season was top 6. Absolute minimum. Another 6th or 7th placed finish would have seen him under immense pressure.
We’re so far away even from that minimum that it beggars belief. We’re fucking 15th. We’re going on record breaking losing streaks. Worst start to the league in fucking DECADES. Can’t score any fucking goals. Ruining the development of our best youth assets. It’s astonishing how poor we are and he is overseeing this absolute clusterfuck.
He’s so far off our objectives that it’s hard to process just how bad things are…feels like we’ve entered some kind of fucked up alternate reality. Like we can’t believe what is happening.
But when you start looking at where we are and how we’re performing…this fucker needs to be sacked IMMEDIATELY. No excuses, no mitigation. Need to arrest this decline before it gets worse.

I took it as him saying that in basketball the best team, the one that attacks more and shoots more, will win every time, but that thats often not the case in football.

In a game with high scoring opportunities “upsets” can’t happen unlike football

Think he’s saying if you dominate a game of basketball you win, but if you dominate football but you can still lose.
The fact hes implying we dominate teams is hilarious… spurs gave us the control of the game because we are terrible. Give us the ball and wait for the usual suspects to fuck up.
