North London Derby Video Data Preview

Hey Scott, excellent video, thank you. How does your analysis + prediction change with last night's performance and Xhaka missing for the NLD now?

Anthony H, no, it didn’t!

This didn't age well re: Xhaka :)

Anthony H

:o this is jaw droppingly impressive stuff Scott. I knew this game was going to be crucial for our top 4 chances but a potential 28% swing on the outcome of a single game is much more than I expected. When you think about how much top 4 means to us in terms of revenue, prestige and summer signings (plus the impact this game could have on us signing Vlahovic) could Sunday be the most important game for arsenal since the Europa League final?

Boy, would I have lived this data during my 30 year career as a youth coach!! The data we had was basically “She runs really fast” and “That redhead is mean!” As a business leader, I LOVE data like this. It really shows where an organization needs to strengthen and where it is most able to produce a winning product. What was most interesting to me about this was how it confirms what many of us already believed, which was Son is Spurs’ best player and Conte is a force multiplier…at least until his ego rips a club apart. Hopefully, with Son out, and Xhaka back in midfield, Arsenal will be able to exploit the more passive Spurs defense and get a goal from Saka, one from Martinelli and another two or three each time ESR shoots!! COYG!!

Wow this is so good. I'm getting to know about data online but you commenting, explaining them really helps this. So cool. Could you explain one more time how the percentiles work in those pizza slices? Or point me to a source that explains how a player or club gets its score. I really thought we where in a good place as Spurs still need to go to many big clubs away and we look really good at times. But what I've learnt here is, being solid also counts. Their potentially weaker but experienced squad might beat us to top4 as we look amazing, but also frail. Painful but insightful. Thanks so much!

Weighted XG diff is epic …. Love that

Well done Scott! That was really insightful. The eye test had me thinking Spurs are playing dreadful football, but the numbers tell us we shouldn't get too cocky just yet.

That was great, Scott, thank you! The fact that the odds are slightly against us will just sweeten any potential ***.

Nice job Scott, good watch from Melbourne!
