overview for hallenbeck

It would be a more fair reflection of Messi if we were to remove his latest three seasons. If you take only his data between 17-18 and 20-21 then his over performance is 36%, not too far *behind* our Sonny.

Is Son one of the best finishers EVER? Let's look at some data. 👇 by hallenbeck in c/[email protected]

If he carries on at current rates, he's on for a year broadly similar to his golden boot winning 21-22 season.

It was their way of saying sorry for Nuno.

Yves Bissouma must be THE most annoying player to defend against. Opponents have to hack him down to stop him. by hallenbeck in c/[email protected]

I thought Porro was also great. He was playing as an 8 most of the time. Extraordinary given he's a fullback. I love how fluid and adaptable the system is, but their Achilles heel is very clearly a dug-in low block. Can't help but feel we will miss Perišić.

Unquestionably signing of the summer - James Maddison is a diamond 💎 by hallenbeck in c/[email protected]

Also worth noting, of the top 5 passers into the box this season, three are Spurs players.

[BBC iPlayer] Lineker Meets Postecoglou by hallenbeck in c/[email protected]

ANGEBALL:

Lineker: Are you a manger that looks at the players and then decides on a system, or do you have a system and then decide what players fit into it?

Ange: I don't have a system but I do have a way of playing. Because systems change, mate. Again, I've used every system under the sun. [...] But they've all been under the premise that we'll have the ball, and be really aggressive in our approach.

@coys

If I were to buy a shirt with a name and number on it would be ROMERO 17.

A lot of players seem to be getting serious knee injuries these days. Anyone know if it's on the increase, or just a recency/availability bias in my head? by hallenbeck in c/[email protected]

@football

Shit, and now we get this news today:

> Ivan Perisic has suffered a complex Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) injury in his right knee

Ange hints at how effective Sheffield's disrupt-and-frustrate tactics were for a "we don't stop" Angeball team by hallenbeck in c/[email protected]

@CoolerPseudonym

Yeah, it's reasonable to have a plan to exploit weaknesses. What else are they supposed to do? Look what happened to Burnley.

I'm not sure it's _entirely_ valid though. The officiating seemed muddled. Should referees just add more time or dish out more cards? I'd like to see more second yellows for such blatant timewasting. I'm not sure what the rules are though. There seems to to be suggestions refs will only hand out a first yellow for wasting time?

Best start to season since 1965. ✊🤍 by hallenbeck in c/[email protected]

@Guy

I was pretty calm to tell the truth aside from a raised eyebrow over starting Son in the middle. The way we played was good. Our intensity was excellent. I was preparing to be disappointed, but not with the team or the setup - more with the officiating, the dark arts, the bad lack. We played Angeball and got unlucky (our xG was 2.12); no complaints. Apart from maybe that we should have started with Richarlison.
