1·1 year agoI think the graph above was when Jude was about 16/17, not 20 as it says on there. It was his 2019/20 season in the Championship.
This graph is Jude now. 😵💫
That comes down to coaching though, no? I’d have thought Ange would have him pushing up, passing forward and, yes, shooting too. I guess we’ll never know now.
I thought the stuff about risk v reward of playing individuals at various stages of injury was interesting, and how players have “superpowers” which they have grown to be robust within. Made me think of how Ange is transforming certain players and how those changes might fall outside the parameters of those existing superpowers and therefore more likely to cause injury.
Maddison can. 🙂
I suspect a large part of it came from growing frustration at how much the ref was letting go. He needs to not get frustrated like that, regardless. It’s just a shame that one incident led to such an unravelling. It makes the incident seem worse than it was in the grand scheme of things. A terrible ripple-effect on that one.

Ah, so he was being silly not serious? It came across in the article as having a bit of a dig. 😆

I was inspired to look at Romero’s record this season and was surprised to find it better than I expected. Have a look:
@mike @richardwoods @coys @spurs
Some data.
So we’re comfortably the most fouled team (numbers are per 90)
We’ve got second most number of yellows
But we’re only mid-table for number of fouls we make.
My guess would be frustrations in a hyped up game where decisions are perceived to favour the opposition and not us and a mounting sense of injustice, even a reformed and more controlled Romero is going to pop eventually.
Credit to him though, he’s been terrific most of the season.

A situation LFC and its fans are more than familiar with 😉
@mike @richardwoods @coys @spurs
My take is that the players were hyped out.
Add to that Bissouma’s loss of form, perhaps due to the yellows and suspension hanging over him: his lack of presence leaves the back line more exposed.
Add to that we are the most fouled team this season (Maddison now out until 2024 due to ankle kicks he’s sustained), with no PKs and most touches in opp box…
Add to that a lack of yellows against us, but plenty for…
Frustrations grow.
@coys @spurs Love the line about his heart bouncing.
