Oh, thought this was going to be another EU debate.
So, essentially, more confirmation that you can't hit the onion bag with a spreadsheet and a probability calculator.
You know those post icons with the little blue and white shirts on.....

You seemed quite keen on quoting stats in the Harty thread.

Shots inside the penalty area, best %: Ipswich, Derby, Middlesbrough Worst: Leeds, Sheff Wed, Charlton
Action zones (most attacking): Norwich, Rotherham Least: Blackpool, Leeds, Charlton

Conclusion:
The Albion passing and possession game is extremely effective defensive tactic at restricting opportunities for opponents. But our defence can be breached easily and it is spoilt by wasteful attacks and poor shooting. And there is only average ability to get into the penalty area to create good chances.
I should have looked at the defensive abilities of the clubs.
It would be football suicide to replace Sami Hyypia. All it would do would reduce our strong points and do nothing about our dodgy full backs (especially when Calderon and Chicksen are playing) and failure in the attacking final quarter.

It is not so much the fullbacks are dodgy it is more the system means they are twenty yards further forward. And forwards low on confidence avoid the opposition penalty area.
Is the system getting the most out of the players?

Try telling Tony Bloom and his multi-millionaire team of boffins that...
That's making money spreadbetting, not scoring actual goals on an actual football pitch. The fact is we were one of the lowest scorers last season. The fact is, this season, in the league, our moneyball strikers haven't scored at all and CMS is the only forward that has.
