It can be difficult to tell whether players are getting injuries from being in the red zone without being privy to their data. Sometimes is bad prep or abnormal action that can cause them. But Liverpool could probably have issues from last season anyway, as they were shiiiit to start the season before playing CL. Weirdly they’re probably playing worse since coming back from the world cup than when they were playing CL matches, which I don’t think either of us expected when considering their lack of players at the world cup.
I wonder if clubs might make their data available for a proper analysis of the impact of playing a world cup in the middle of the season, especially teams in Europe, to use to try and stop it happening again. I’ve read that a lot of medical people already think players are playing too much football across a season.

Well where Liverpool are concerned I’m not surprised a team that were able to press better than any team in history for almost the full match, without injuries and with a million inhalers, has finally hit the wall as they’ve all got older. But some people might be sensitive to that
Good point. They probably won’t release their data actually because they’ll expose their ped use.

Think Utd are a little ahead of schedule, with some promising signs that if they continue to back ETH they'll do well. Wouldn't say it's been a huge turnaround similar to ours or Newcastle's.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
If you look at our record in the last 20 games it's title form. A poor start has basically cost us a title race which under a new manager can happen.
We are also in a cup final more or less, still in 2 other cups and we've definitely played harder games than everyone given we've played Arsenal and City twice already and nobody else has. City n Arsenal haven't even played each other yet in the league.
We are doing very well. Our manager is superb.
Performances have been very encouraging and results since City away very good. But our football hasn't been anywhere near as fluent, dominant or penetrative as Arsenal's - and we couldn't expect it to be, so soon into ETH's rebuilding project. Even with a continuation of the current trend, I'd imagine that by the end of the season we'll see Arsenal and City comfortably ahead of us in the table, and we'll look at this point of near convergence between us and City as a consequence of their sticky patch coinciding with our purple patch. One season in to Ten Hag's leadership, I'd be very satisfied with that progress.

Think it's been a decent turnaround from United, given that there were quite a few in the media and on social media expecting ETH to last as long as Frank de Boer, Lisandro Martinez was expected to struggle to outjump a toddler and Casemiro was seen a bit of a has-been plodder in the middle of a pitch that would be as effective as a traffic cone.
Arsenal probably the biggest surprise. The only team expected to get 50 point by this stage would've been City.

“Martinez was expected to struggle to outjump a toddler…”
Only by idiots who hadn’t read the most cursory of scout reports or bothered looking at the headline data for aerial duals in Eredivisie.

Arsenal have spent like £700 million in just three seasons. So why the big surprise?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I’m sure you were tipping them for the title in August, sandy.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
its also a load of pi$h
after this window there is a good chance that spurs have spent more.
over the last 3 years prior to this window just now
arsenal have spent about 430m
Spurs have spent 400m
dont listen to his pi$h , i know you prob werent !
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Sandy always gets upset by inconvenient facts, and the fact that Spurs, in addition to being financially doped by the tax dodger, are financially dopey with most of their transfers. Levy trying to save a few quid means they miss out on the best players and the ones they get often arrive so late in the window that they don't settle for months. Arsenal and Newcastle have outperformed expectations. Sadly, so have United, although I suppose it was inevitable that they would eventually improve if they spent enough money.
