I have a bad habit of getting into these argumentative loops where the other person doesnāt understand the implications of their own claim, thus that Iāve already refuted it, so I just keep reposting myself in the thread in desperate hope theyāll catch on.

For one, Spurs are 10th in total touches in the attacking 3rd; two; you're using p90 bc Xavi only has 6.8 90s; three, his relatively high total final 3rd touches in a low-touch side if anything reflects well on his possession. Nothing you said here is evidence against my claim; some is evidence for.

I think this is mostly to do with the fact that heās in a system with no attacking ideas, especially through the middle, rarely sees the ball, and is underplayed. Not about āadapting to the Premā at all.

The main reason we finished 17th last season was catastrophic lack of squad depth. We fixed that this past summer. Now some of our fans are saying our players are shit so they donāt have to admit they were wrong about last season and about Frank. I see you.

HT: .07 xG and 0% cross accuracy. Perhaps try putting the ball on the fucking grass and passing it to feet fewer than 30 yards at a time.

You can fire the ball into Kudus at any height and he just kills it and holds possession. Amazing.

I'm sorry to be a jerk about this (not really) but I spent all last season fighting people who claimed 'the high line' and reckless tactics were responsible for our defensive woes, and now we have the conservative tactics people wanted and our defense is worse with better players available.

Is this very common cultural and political orientation for Nigerian immigrants, deeply seated in English imperialism, possibly a matter of US influence?

Seems pretty straightforward to me that weāve dropped a lot of points this season by not challenging possession in the edge of our box. We should know from Sonny that low-xG shots from distance are not so low for eg Morgan Rogers, Eze, Vitinha, Kang-in, etc.

Well after adjustments this turned out to be wrong. Yet another xG 'loss.'

As I've said, 'risk' vs. 'pragmatism' is a terrible way to frame and understand whether a manager has good tactical ideas and the nature of their tactical ideas, but it's not a bad way to frame and understand whether executive leadership have good ideas about how to develop a football club.

A consequence of the Premier League getting more competitive, particularly with post-Covid financial developments in world football, is that fans are overcorrecting from 'well actually [traditionally lower / mid-table side] are no easy game] to 'we shouldn't expect Spurs to control this game.'

I usually say 'US American' (USian is fine), but 'American' to describe the US is wrong and stupid, because the Americas are not reducible to the US.

Perverse to say this after the week we've had, but we actually outgunned them on xG, which I think reflects some intent to play foot ball.

From 'he's gone down very very dramatically' to 'potential red card check going on' because you're a troll instead of a match commentator.

Idiot that this kind of thing would ever be a penalty. Shot from point blank and it's the only way a human being can lunge to block the ball. The arm will always go into that kind of position. Pinging it at an arm is not worth a pen.
