@HendrickD82@Mobyhaque1 I’m curious, if Ward becomes Sporting Director and we’re not doing the multi club thing…what would Edwards be re-upping to do? Unless he takes over from Hogan…🤷🏿♂️
Trendlines are a useful way to interrogate season-long performance. They mostly enable us to ask questions.
What questions would you ask about Liverpool and Arne Slot right now?
[Doing Variance Betting analysis, per usual.]
@DistanceCovered@emorgan1961 I think he’s laughing because mitigation is just a catch all buzz word people are blindly regurgitating cos the only mitigation that isn’t normal football adversity is Jota.
Disagree? Fine, but what other “mitigation” is there that only affects Liverpool and Slot?
@HendrickD82@mhartg1@BackseatsmanLFC@justyn_lfc Over a 38 game season his ppg equated to 100 pts in year 1 and 77 in year 2. 89 pt avg…I rounded up to 90. Point still stands, he’s elite. Enrique isn’t coming…so he’s the viable coach with the most credentials. If they prefer Cesc or Honess fine, but they’re NOT more qualified
@mhartg1@BackseatsmanLFC@justyn_lfc Well in year 1 they were centurions so a drop off was natural…unless your name is Pep or Klopp. Xabi averaged 90 pts for his time there. You might not want Xabi and that’s fine, but you can’t say he’s not elite!
@Mobyhaque1@HendrickD82 They can only mean Jota but of course they won’t say that outright. Every other “mitigation” e.g injuries, Salah declining, refereeing decisions etc is just normal football adversity that every club and coach goes through.
@mizgans Your last line hits the nail on the head. And that is the most terrifying part. If Slot stays it says we’re no longer a data driven club cos there is no data that supports the idea that he should continue…and not hiring Alonso will only be because of ego…dark times ahead.
@mizgans The idea might be similar but the competence and execution levels are vastly different. The real world is never ideal. Coaches need to be able to adapt. Alonso has delivered a 90pt run rate in every job…Slot has been delivering a 62pt run rate for 16 months now…that’s his level
