I am sure the data analysts can provide data that shows their data is vital in determining the outcome of games. 

Not sure their algorithms could predict the chalk n cheese nature of our Boxing Day performance.

I think sometimes they are over indulged with information and fear thinking for themselves. Hence the frequent  goalkeeper "injuries"

Like with any stats, there’s an argument you can skew their ‘finding’ to suit a narrative.

Just read that and it backs up my opinions of the current squad perfectly.  Our attacking stats are pretty good, our defensive stats less so.  The really poor record for clearances and blocked shots shows that we lack defensive leaders, and more generally, defenders who just like defending.
