High-event games are actually good when you're the better team.

Arsenal deserved *at least* one title from this run. Once we saw Hincapie's butt, you knew it was over.

I wrote about this earlier in the week: Arsenal have just kind of stopped playing out of the back/being able to play out of the back. Maybe The Odegaard Effect, but it definitely showed up today. www.espn.com/soccer/story...

The two Liverpool-Wolves games — same teams, same locations, three days apart — were a nice little experiment to show just how volatile soccer is from a game to game basis, even when nothing fundamental changes at all.

From the "records no one other than me and maybe, like, 14 other people care about" department: Liverpool's win over Qarabag was the most lopsided Champions League match (by xG differential) since 2010.

Truly world-class xG harvesting by Martinelli. If he scores, this gets VAR’d and removed from the statistical record.

Every season in a Big Five European league since 2017-18, ranked by the number of times a team's goalkeeper made a defensive action outside the penalty area. There's, uh, one big difference for one of these teams ...

If you have a favorite MLS team, I contributed to our mega-preview with a number that says your favorite team is good, bad, or neither good nor bad. www.espn.com/soccer/insid...

That wasn't just the first goal of Myles Lewis-Skelly's career. It was the first shot.

The latest Premier League power rankings from me and @espnbillc.bsky.social are up. I wrote about Manchester City, a slow team trying to get faster, and Tottenham, an injured team with barely any experienced professional soccer players: www.espn.com/soccer/insid...

First real cold spell of the season for Liverpool: two open-play goals from 5.6 xG over their last five halves.

Ryan O'Hanlon @rwohan.bsky.social · 14/01/2025

Some strange stuff from this season: Spurs way outperforming their xG ... and they're bottom half of the table. Liverpool underperforming their xG ... and they're in first. Villa: almost the complete opposite of last season.
