I did a full thread on Twitter if you're interested in the details

They haven't used the 4222 in possession much this season. But either way, it's a bit embarrasing to be unprepared for it either way.

What are Liverpool getting in Jeremy Jacquet? The £60m French youngster looks to solve the Reds' center back problems.

Jeremy Jacquet has been tipped by some to become the next great French CB. This week's post for @thetransferflow.bsky.social looks at:

Sometimes will be a straight reassessment of a chance or correcting a glitch too.

As a result, they often grade down a team's chance quality after running it through an algorithm to account for this.

Often what happens is that these tweaks are just the results of reassessments of sequences of shots where they have just aggregated chances in the same phase of play. Obvs you can't just aggregate chances in the same seq because you can't have more than 1 xG in a single sequence.

I think that the first half was some of the worst football I've seen from a so-called 'big side' in the PL for quite some time. I think after half time, Spurs made the game more competitive but were still fortunate to come away with a draw. But Frank still made the changes, forced or otherwise.

I assume a superstition thing from his playing days but have no clue

This is great news! Congratulations!

Across Pep’s tenure at City his teams have averaged just 2.66 matches per season where our share of possession has been <= 50%.

24 matches in 9 seasons. Last season there were 3 matches in 57 played.

As we enter the New Year this term, City have averaged <= 50% possession in 7 of our 27 matches.

Glad you got to see Pavlovic mate x

So last year
