The season only finished 2 days ago. Hardly dragging things on. Disagree on his long ball distribution, which has been top drawer since Sheehan took over. I was indifferent about him leaving pre-Sheehan, with his improved all round displays I now think he would be a significant loss.

The reasons for Eom coming inside as a 10 are as stated above, because that's the role he was recruited for (odd that he hasn't played there at all really, I guess because of the lack of alternatives for the left wing), and because he's too good to leave on the bench. Inoussa is clearly going to...

Also interesting to note that all six games where he rated 7 or better on Fotmob were games he started and played at least 74 minutes. In contrast, his cameos off the bench rated between 5.7 and only 6.5 at best. Perhaps this is partly down to him being tasked with seeing games out, and playing...

Whether we like it or not he will very probably be still with us next season. There's no way he would command a fee, although I guess there's an outside chance he could get a multi year deal at a lower level if he's willing to take a pay cut. The data backs up the observations made above. In...

Eom will play as a 10. I see no reason to move him on. Unless there's a move in the pipeline already, which wouldn't be a surprise. He has Premier League quality for sure, which won't have gone unnoticed. There will be clubs thinking of coming in for him now rather than wait for the fee to rise...

https://www.theguardian.com/football/2023/nov/28/footballs-next-big-tactical-opportunity-jeremy-doku-and-the-jory-of-the-dribble Ironic that in a difficult season Man City's Doku still leads the way with over 100 successful dribbles with a stellar 65.4 per cent success rate. It goes to show...

A very impressive 97th percentile for headers won compared to other wingers. Ronald is also 94th percentile. Explains why Williams and Sheehan have persisted with long balls to the wings. However both win less than 50 per cent of their duels, so that's possession lost most of the time.

On the subject of Ronald I think he will remain consistently inconsistent going forwards. But there's enough good stuff overall to make him a decent player. Worth remembering that his defensive stats are stellar, comfortably the best for a winger in the league. A big part of our effective...

Kukharevych's goal was excellent. He showed a surprising turn of pace to run in from near the half way line, before finding the corner from a tight angle. It will be interesting to see how things pan out for him.

9.4 expected assists over the season, joint second with Josh Murphy behind Solomon on 10.3. Ahead of Dan James, Rudoni and Hamer. 81 chances created, joint second with Anthony, behind Azaz with 88. 15 big chances created, 6th. So basically his creative stats are up there with the best wingers in...

He's their top scorer with 10, the next is Adams with 6. I'd be surprised if they didn't bid at least a million for him. Perhaps one and a half.

"Moments after United keeper Jack Walton pulls off a stunning double save to deny Myko Kuharevich and Junior Hoilett, the former picks up on the half way line, makes a cracking solo run and smashes into the bottom corner." Hopefully can score a few more before the end of the season and earn us...

Ki doesn't look a day over 18. What's the secret?

Yes. I really should have said bums off seats, but I guess you need to get them on those seats first.

If we sign Wales and Inoussa we will be adding to the dribbling capabilities of the squad - on top of the capabilities of Eom, Widdell, Tymon and Key. The latter two are 93rd and 98th percentile respectively for dribbling success. Is dribbling making a resurgence? Palace in particular have...

48.4th percentile. Just below average. Eom 35 per cent, 90.6th percentile.

Fantastic servant to the club. A model of consistency. He will be missed.

To be fair, he's been injured most of the time, which couldn't have been predicted. But he was certainly never a congruent signing. I can't see us signing journeymen Championship players in future.

The only reason Joe may not have earned Legend status was down to Huw's biggest blunder (alongside his failure to bring Rogers back) in not bringing him back after Euro 2016. We might still be in the PL were it not for that massive mistake. Sorry to see him retire, but obviously he knows his...

He seems to like cutting inside a lot judging by that YouTube highlights reel. Clearly composed with his finishes.
