Xela Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 Yes. Shut us down. I can't believe we haven't spent eleventy billion quid today on 9 new players. What is even the point of Villa. Just liquidate the club. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Davis, Trez, El Ghazi, Luiz, Sanson possibly going it could be 0 net spend. Should we be worried? Absolutely. With only 2 months of the window left before it slams shut we are quickly running out of time. We can barely put out a starting 11 unless we field of team of players over the age of 14. Total disaster. Close the club, sell up, and put us out of our misery. Everybody OUT!!!!! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What’s interesting is she’s shared a tweet from April last year where she basically announced grealish to city. Grimes is pretty spot on, usually. She's not a journalist, but works in the industry (on the legal side I think). She tends to call it before the main outlets as she's ITK but because of that things can change between say an enquiry and a transfer actually happening. She strikes me as pretty legit rather than attention seeking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRO Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 Rumours of Nathan Ake should just fade away, with the Otavio ones. We have enough lightweights.....thanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, some people argue that it actually makes it easier because you would presumably have more options to pass forward to than if you were playing further forward yourself. However, the way fbref calculates progressive passes means it ignores passes if it's from too far back so the effect is somewhat complicated. 2- I have a good feeling why Luiz had a higher metric in the first season with us. Mcginn was injured for large parts of that season meaning he naturally had to take on some of his responsibilities in progressing the ball forward. If so, it may be true that Luiz is capable of being more progressive, but he simply isn't instructed to be. Rather his role is more to play safer passes whilst the likes of Mcginn and Ramsey take more risks. Another reason why stats can be misleading, we don't definitively know what the specific roles these players were given. Yes I agree, the intention of my post was to show data that highlights exactly those things, he’s shown better progressive numbers when tasked with a different role under a different manager, despite predominantly operating deeper it would seem, which as previously mentioned probably skews progression numbers negatively on fbref.
