All these analyses, using split second images to show “right” and “wrong” options really boil my piss. If you play football you’ll know how hard it is to even spot one good pass, never mind instantly and correctly selecting and executing the best possible pass. Yes, these guys are so good you can expect them to get that sort of analysis right more often than not but obviously won’t do it every time. Chances are they don’t even see some of the passing options that Twitter experts thing they’re ignoring. It’s not physically possible to look in two directions at once.
8 of the 20 were due to Fred being Fred, abt 3 were Ronaldo directly. Another 3 were due to players trying to find Ronaldo instead of a better option.
Wasn't sure abt creating a thread but thought this shows how much of a difference Eriksen instead of Fred would have made.
When you're putting Fred on the edge of the area and expecting him to make the right choice or have a good shot, the problem is you have the wrong type of player in that position
That's a bit far fetched statement, unless next game a guy on twitter proves Eriksen sees and executes "the right pass" every single time.
I wouldn't read much into it. We had some good openings, not a lot of chances created. We need to do better. But we can't expect players to get it right every single time.
Very true. Who should have played instead of Fred then?
Thing is, you've got to know when to hold and give but do it at the right time, and you can be slow or fast but you must get to the line. If you don't, the opposition always hit you and hurt you, defend and attack, but really there's only one way to beat them, get round the back.
Ronaldo is the wide pass, Sancho is through the middle who shouldve received it. Though yeah Ronaldo still fecked it up.

He is definitely a good and balanced guy. Uses a lot of stats too. If I am not mistaken he uses the images because videos are harder to use with copyright and data limits. That's why he shows 4 images or so. Worth a follow imo.
Anyway his intention was to show how we generally played well and how much we got into threatening positions where our execution was lacking as opposed to him shitting on our players.
