CIES Football Observatory n°262 - 13/05/2019 Performance Production champions: Napoli, Olympiacos, Leeds, and who else? http://www.football-observatory.com/IMG/sites/b5wp/2018/262/en/ Issue number 262 of the CIES Football Observatory Weekly Post presents the three best and worst teams per league in terms of points that they should have achieved according to their pitch production. Virtual points were projected according to a statistical model including shots taken and conceded (both on target and from the box), as well as the percentage of ball possession. With respect to the indicators selected, Napoli and Atalanta should have achieved more points than the Italian Serie A champions Juventus. However, Massimiliano Allegri’s players were much more efficient. In the Greek top division, both Olympiacos and AEK Athens had a greater pitch production than champions PAOK. Marcelo Bielsa’s Leeds United tops the production rankings in the English Championship. According to pitch production, Lucien Favre’s Borussia Dortmund should only have ranked fourth in the German Bundesliga behind Bayern Munich, RB Leipzig and Bayer Leverkusen. The Ruhr team was thus particularly efficient. In Turkey, İstanbul Başakşehir virtually outranks Beşiktaş and Galatasaray. More data is available in the CIES Football Observatory Performance Atlas powered by InStat data. Virtual number of points per match according to pitch production Season 2018/19, domestic league matches until 07/05/2019

Rudiger just had major knee surgery m8, he is not remotely ready for months

If we renew Higs loan (for TWENTY-NINE MILLION QUID IN FEES AND SALARY I might add), I predict Sarri will be sacked before xmas. Thank fuck we cannot buy Kovacic. Also, if Alonso is played regularly, you can move the Sacking of Sarri up even sooner. If those 3 formed a jazz band, it would be called the Tits On A Bull Trio, as that is what they are as useful as. I NEVER want to see any if them on the pitch for us again. They can go play for newly relegated Ipswich Town in League Two. Zappacosta looked like Cafu compared to Alonso and a club-footed dwarf would have scored that sitter Higs missed. As for Kovacic, he is the electric car of MFers, as he leaves zero trace he was even on the pitch.

Best EPL GK ever, no one else is remotely close

UEFA's idea of how you travel to Baku:

I miss Arsene Wenger is a 'specialist in failure' - Jose Mourinho https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/26188451

But UEFA have now explained the reasons behind the tiny ticket allocation, claiming that the host city of Baku cannot cope with an influx of more than 15,000 fans. why the FUCK did they chose that shithole then?????????

Chelsea secure third place in Premier League with goalless draw at Leicester https://www.theguardian.com/football/2019/may/12/leicester-chelsea-premier-league-match-report snip It was a strange match, in truth, and more like a pre-season friendly at times. The biggest cheer of the first half, certainly from the Chelsea fans’ point of view, was when it flashed up on the scoreboard that Manchester City had gone 2-1 up against Brighton. Cue a series of anti-Liverpool songs.

with a fully fit (Kante, Rudiger, CHO) side, we would be favourites, now if we have none it will take a massive effort Kante in gives us hope we HAVE to be clinical they have a truly HORRID back 4, so we will deffo get shots Giroud needs to pound a brace in, and Eden for the coup de grâce 3 2 knock those NoLo cunts out of the CL

I would rather have https://www.chelseafc.com/en/teams/women/magdalena-eriksson?pageTab=biography at LB than fucking Alonso Eriksson arrived at Kingsmeadow following a four-year spell at Linkopings in her home country, where she captained the club to the league title in 2016 despite only being in her early twenties. She made her senior Sweden debut against France in 2014 and was part of the squad which reached the quarter-finals of the 2017 European Championship. Immediately looking at home from the moment she joined our growing Swedish contingent, Eriksson marked her Women’s Super League 1 debut with a powerful headed goal against Bristol City in a thumping 6-0 victory. Her set-pieces in the attacking third, often whipped in dangerously with her left foot, proved to be a regular source of goals throughout 2017/18, but her most telling contribution in the attacking third came when we faced Everton in mid-April, when an early goal settled a tense game which proved vital in bringing the WSL1 title back to the club. Eriksson also started the FA Cup final and both legs of our Champions League semi-final against Wolfsburg, which helped take her tally to 31 appearances at the end of a successful first season in England, with Emma Hayes highlighting her as one of the unsung heroes of the squad.
