The Arsenal. SCOUTED. https://www.scoutedftbl.com/

Im still addicted to Twitter so spam on there. But I could not agree more:

Narrator: the Egyptian did not continue on the left and we did not have to wait until Rodri is back.

I miscast Pep Guardiola’s role in the emergence of the new modern football but I have been thinking about it all season. I wrote this in September when City were linked heavily to Jamal Musiala. If anything, signing Marmoush is an even clearer signal they want/need to adapt.

There was no Declan Rice analysis, but I used him to introduce the idea of trying to find a player that can do it all. Last night, he was a do it all Dinamo. 🥁

It’s no coincidence that Dan Burn and Deep Block have the same initials. He’s the final boss for that. Clears every cross. Blocks every shot. Absolute colossus in that situation. We are playing every game on the most difficult setting possible. Still should have scored enough.

This chance was HUGE.

It was not Lookman specifically that solved the problem (I had mentioned him in reference to Amad’s new role so it was a bit of continuity).

Plucked an average position map from a RF game (he still played most centrally).

Still found himself in the left spot but this forced him to work wide right.

Murillo is allowed one of these shots a game if he keeps being a brick wall.

If you are the centre-forward, you HAVE to just keep running and pull those centre-backs away.

Mbappé kills them both for pace every day of the week. Make the run, even if you don’t get it, that’s what you need to. Stretch the opposition.

As per @fbref.com, Martin Ødegaard played 130 successful passes into the penalty area last season.

Lionel Messi is the only player on record (since 2017/18) with more in a single Big 5 League campaign.

Franjo Ivanović follows up a brace in the UEL with a hat-trick in the league.

Three left-footed shots, three right-footed shots.

You cannot let a 39-year-old former winger drop this statline against your team.

Even if he’s holding up in the 1-v-1, get him moving and tracking runs. Ashley Young was laughing.

Incredible that Brentford have two players in the top six Premier League goalscorers this season.
December 7, 2024 at 3:54 PM
In the 2020 FA Youth Cup final, Morgan Rogers and Cole Palmer both scored, Liam Delap provided one (if not two) assists.

All interacting after Rogers’ goal last night. Just nice to see.

And so, it begins.

Hilarious heat map.

When was the last time Manchester United (+4)had a greater goal difference than Manchester City (+3)?!
December 3, 2024 at 5:15 PM
That should be a third kit.
December 3, 2024 at 4:39 PM
What’s nicer: new purple Arsenal training wear or this camera angle of Ethan Nwaneri’s right-foot finesse finish?
December 3, 2024 at 4:35 PM
That makes his latest SCOUTED Stats section even more pertinent.
December 3, 2024 at 4:33 PM
Thought it might be worth a quick look at their radars as well using the incredible @mclachbot.com app:

1) Dembélé's dribbling really is his superpower, that's the key metric

2) visualisation of the Gravenberch aerial duel stat mentioned in the newsletter

3) and 4) in the next post...

This week's Monday Night SCOUTED is about this guy.
December 2, 2024 at 11:00 AM
Mohamed Salah all of a sudden looking for another Golden Boot. Fair play to Brentford, too.
December 1, 2024 at 7:01 PM
I was just looking through some Cabellos matches, ended up looking at the Peruvian league. Noticed 3rd-place Sporting Cristal had scored 47 goals in 17 games.

25% came in a 12-0 win against Comerico. This guy provided SIX assists in 64 minutes.

Have you ever seen an assist double hat-trick?
