@UtdMicah They were both awful sales, no need to copy them.

[LuaLua @SlipsnFlips]

@IanM1st Carrick 2030 post united treble hopefully

[LuaLua @SlipsnFlips]

@cainsmithMU They were knackered, tuchel under-rotated all tournament... inevitable after bringing an imbalanced squad (6cbs 3 Fwds 4*cms etc) and refuse to trust backups/have no stylistic plan B to go too.

He said rotation was mega important pre tournament, barely did it.
Its all On him.

@StevenDonovan02 @Sp1thfc Agree we have far too many defenders in the box but as a cm you cannot leave that space loool there are currently three players on the edge of the box only marked by you.

[LuaLua @SlipsnFlips]

@StevenDonovan02 @Sp1thfc Anderson is the reason Enzo has a free shot on the edge of the box, goes to help out spence who doesn't need help, from game one he's been aggressively jumping out of position and leaving gaps and its cost us as good as he's been this was going to catch him out.

[LuaLua @SlipsnFlips]

@AndyForrester1 Love that.

So would you say roughly
73+ = Excellent
65+ = Very good
58+ = good
51+ = Reasonable

[LuaLua @SlipsnFlips]

@TheDevilsDNA Why was he worse last season? is it a big concern? haven't seen it explained (other than focus loss post Utd interest explanation)

According to gradient sports his second half of the season was noticeably better than first which is also encouraging re re-finding his best form.

[LuaLua @SlipsnFlips]

@analyzingfutbol Devastating just how perfect Carreras and Garner would fit into our squad.

[LuaLua @SlipsnFlips]

@StevenDonovan02 Andrey, Kone and Wharton would be a lovely blend.

[LuaLua @SlipsnFlips]

@TheDevilsDNA 1. That can be useful to identify
2. There are team style metric graphs on the site
3. All counting stats are normalised p90 read the glossary
4. Does show minutes played
5. see picture

Data is accurate, up to twitter users how effectively it can be explained with context.

[LuaLua @SlipsnFlips]

@TheDevilsDNA @TradePercentage So basically it shows what percentile the players are in for various metrics.
Metrics are all explained in their glossary.
Personally I don't think creativity can only be judged by key passes but goretzka does have roughly the same xA p90 as Vitinha lol.

[LuaLua @SlipsnFlips]

@TheDevilsDNA @TradePercentage The idea that these are misinformation is a mad exaggeration, they don't show the full picture (cm one more than others), & ppl misinterpret em (not dataMBs fault) but its a perfectly reasonable free source data starting point for a plyr profile indication no need to shit on em

[LuaLua @SlipsnFlips]

@louorns @Sxne19iv2 Not funny

[LuaLua @SlipsnFlips]

@Adroit_Cadet I'm not sure he's resting key players well enough for us to be that ferocious team come latter rounds that he wants us to be.

[LuaLua @SlipsnFlips]

@MC_of_A Its a longg tournament

[LuaLua @SlipsnFlips]

@LSeffz Stones (early in career) shaw n Maguire been slated so much & you either come out the other side broken or with confidence, exp & unwavering faith in ability regardless of form or circumstance. Guehi and Konsa haven't had that & you're seeing timid play as a result of context.

[LuaLua @SlipsnFlips]

@Scott_Geelan His box presence and last line threat has been kinda non existent. Obviously a nice goal but I kinda expect more.

[LuaLua @SlipsnFlips]

@Adroit_Cadet Yeah thats fair, hasn't been entirely synergistic. Kane (just scored) + Rogers's last line and box presence been poor tbh. But been a balls width away from so many big chances its exaggerated reactions at HT. Rashford been excellent.

[LuaLua @SlipsnFlips]

@Adroit_Cadet In what sense?
