Trying to write about football. Mostly stats based analysis of players with a slight Leeds United bias. Blog site below

Ffs look at that challenge in real time and tell me that’s a red. Noones even notices that pre VAR. And if thats a Brentford player they don’t even go to VAR. Ridiculous

If Doncaster don’t get promoted, I’d @BenWhiteman17 going to a championship or prem team?

Gutted to see a top 5 uni work procrastination tool go 😢 was a quality resource as well

Sad to report that https://t.co/N06kPQN31n will be taken down today at 8:00 PM UTC, for reasons that are not in my control.

It was fun while it lasted 😁. Thanks to everyone for sharing/using the site!

What a load of these people on Twitter are saying the mRNA vaccine does (genome integration etc) is pretty much what the virus itself does but you won’t see them wearing a mask to stop getting infected 😬

[George Westwood @averageanalytic]

Cheeky plug 🤷‍♂️ Been superb the last 2 games, can see him being a £40/50m player in a year or two

[George Westwood @averageanalytic]

Raphinha, £15.3m. 9/10
Great player, Great potential, Great price. Neymar, Di Maria and Payet the only players to have more Shot creating actions than him last year in ligue 1. 6th in xA too. Don't understand the sale from Rennes, but superb business from Leeds.

[George Westwood @averageanalytic]

Not sure if anyone knows exactly what Marcelo Bielsa looks for in players but as mentioned in the report he’s pretty versatile. Good cheapish option for Leeds in Jan/next summer in the 8 role? @AllStatsArentWe

[George Westwood @averageanalytic]

Been watching and enjoying this lad recently and this report sums him up really well. Not the youngest anymore (24) but feel like he could be good at a lower-middle table prem team. Some rumours (not sure how reliable) suggest he’d be pretty cheap at ~€4m too.

Profile of Angers utility man Angelo Fulgini - once linked with AC Milan, Man United, Real Madrid, and Liverpool - who might now be ready to make his next move. For @GFFN https://t.co/tPqU54uMxA

[George Westwood @averageanalytic]

@aelodrrgiedge @LUFC Think he’s a brilliant player, but I think Leeds payed just over market value. I think there were better deals to be made for the same/less money

[George Westwood @averageanalytic]

@LUFC's transfer window rated by player, a thread.
Senior players only, values from TransferMarkt. With a total spend of £93.78m, are Leeds 'doing a Fulham'?
#lufc
Including players on loan last year.

[George Westwood @averageanalytic]

Overall I'd give the window a 7/10 from Leeds' point of view. Think January/next summer, targets should be a CM and left-footed LB as playing Dallas there has certain limitations because his left foot is weaker. All data from @fbref

[George Westwood @averageanalytic]

Meslier, £5.85m. 10/10
Orta masterstroke. Think he's an average premier League keeper already at just 20, and cost so much less than other young(ish) keepers like Pickford who are objectively worse. Could become a very valuable asset.

The search for an on target non-goal shot from Newcastle is truly riveting

[Sky Sports Statto @SkySportsStatto]

⚽ Newcastle have scored with all 4 of their shots on target in PL this season:
🎯 Wilson v West Ham
🎯 Hendrick v West Ham
🎯 Wilson v Tottenham
🎯 Saint-Maximin v Burnley

[George Westwood @averageanalytic]

Rinse and repeat, just another team in claret and blue

[George Westwood @averageanalytic]

THAT game, then Newcastle v West Ham. Have Sky heard of saving the best till last 🤔

[George Westwood @averageanalytic]

Sky get given the gift of a superb football game to analyse but still manage to fill half their post-match coverage with hardly controversial handball calls 🙄🙄 #MCFC #lufc

[George Westwood @averageanalytic]

Bielsa doesn’t know the difference between Manchester City and Birmingham city and I’m so there for it #lufc
