Re: Data analysis in football
I just posted about analytics in my OP on AC MIlan. It's super-important. I'm familiar with how it works at clubs like Spurs, Ajax and Werder Bremen through inside knowledge, and now reporting on its success at Milan. I'd love to know the size of data science departments at premier league clubs. It's a big deal in the US MLS.
I don't think people quite get the breadth of application within a club, at least what it ought to be... I'll tell you one thing though - get data science right and your on the road to being better than those that don't bother

Re: Data analysis in football
Despite the enormous amount of information gathered in each game, still there are people on here who refuse to accept or use stats during a discussion, instead claiming they prefer to use their eyes, I'm guessing because they don't understand the stats or don't want to understand them because it's cold and precise.

Re: Data analysis in football
The great thing about stats is that even the “experts” working in PL clubs don’t fully understand them, because there is no such thing as perfect understanding of a stat.
In football the question is obvious - what leads to winning a game? The answer is less obvious, there may be correlations with possession or passes in the box etc but there are thousands of variables so this can never be proven. I predict that some clubs have people really good at it, and others the opposite, and their bosses (CEOs etc) have no way of knowing if their staff are correct in what they are concluding. The best they can do is take collective responsibility for the outcome.
I would thus be surprised if stats folk in PL clubs don’t get binned at least as often as managers, they are just as crucial these days.

Re: Data analysis in football
I have tried to encourage such a thread as this for a few years now - I saw it developing in the same way as the MMT but could never devote the necessary attention to it that I did with that
it left us with this as a stop start thread

There are more board members who are interested in this subject now so it would be great if a few of you build a continuous thread on the general subject area - and this thread title is perfect for such a thing

There has to be some irony in here somewhere that someone smarter than me can work out but something along the lines of - More science and data is used to gain advantages to win football matches and yet there are more matches people aren't bothered about winning as the Champions League and premier league (reaching it) diminish the importance of other competitions.
Even Chapman himself said something along those lines that winning had become more important than amateur expression in football and he was sad to have played a part in that.
That's not to say it isn't an extremely interesting subject!

There are plenty of people who have fallen for the myth that Brentford are the most successful exponents of utilising Data - that required significant additional financial backing and not just to accelerate the returns. True money ball is not reliant on the input of additional funding - look at Liverpool but also ourselves until we employed Mike Rigg, that appointment was supposed to drive us further forward, instead it showed that one appointment (if wrong) can have catastrophic consequences for a club like ours

Re: Data analysis in football
Great read and one which I find is backed up by the eye test- I've noticed for about 6-7 years now that more and more top players are lasting well into their 30s (or even 40s with Buffon and Zlatan). Sport science keeps making advances year on year which is only going to further enable player longevity, and then you look at what they're doing in the US with stem cell therapy in sports & athletics and it's even more apparent.Chester Perry wrote: ↑Mon Jul 18, 2022 1:52 amanother article to keep this thread ticking along - from the Ney York Times - link to an archive copy avoids the paywall

I've said before and will say again that players remaining elite until their late 30s and lasting at high levels til their 40s is going to become much more common. I'd go as far as saying that the next Stanley Matthews is probably currently playing.
Also potentially puts Dyche's transfer policy in an interesting light given his own use of analytics. Less extinct dinosaur and more Jurassic Park, perhaps.

I know this thread is mainly discussing the purpose of data in football but may as well add some actual data to it!
Championship players this season: Set pieces per 90 & Key passes per 90
Basically who creates from open play, or who doesn't, or who's chance creation mainly comes from set pieces.
A certain Ian Maatsen leading the way.

Cheers. The FBRef stuff is nice and easy to pull into stuff like PowerBI. Lets you have a look at things like how good Muric is at stopping crosses (worse than average but the margins aren't huge and we don't allow that many crosses into the box) or whether Muric does play it around the most out of the keepers (doesn't make the most passes but on average makes the shortest passes).Mattster wrote: ↑Wed Oct 26, 2022 12:58 pmFBRef have swapped their data source so they can now offer free data for more leagues - which includes the Championship.

Nathan Tella seems to create next to nothing from open play if I'm reading it properly.
Re: Data analysis in football
That's what it is showing (and also creates little from set pieces). I would guess it is because Tella is normally the end link of our plays so is shooting more than creating. Although looking at shot creation assists (involved in the two offensive actions prior to a shot) he is doing OK, possibly as this will credit players with shots that they have created themselves.

As you allude to above we can all have long debate about the meaning of "shot creation" and then have a long debate whether the data accurately reflects the meaning of shot creation or just accept that data just offers a lens on reality - it is not reality itself.aggi wrote: ↑Mon Oct 31, 2022 2:53 pmThat's what it is showing (and also creates little from set pieces).

Re: Data analysis in football
There's one advantage of getting old, and that is experience.
I would hazard a guess at saying that if a manager was able to sign the top stat player in each position on the pitch , he would in fact have a poor overall team.
Taking our last two managers as examples, the available data would be interpreted in two completely different ways.
One piece of data that I'm sure of is that Brownhill should be nowhere near the next free kick.

Re: Data analysis in football
There is insufficient data on that graph for it to be very meaningful. Take Sam clucas who appears to be next to useless (as tella).
When at Chesterfield he had times playing left wing, full back, centre forward and central midfield. If you jumble all those games up, you'd learn next to nothing.
Brady is high up the y axis because managers for some reason let him near dead balls. He could occasionally do something special, but he was no better with most free kicks than I was.
How useless someone is taking free kicks would be useful data, but again, only if there was sufficient data and realistic parameters. How often is a goal scored from England players free kicks? Who'd be top? Well Harry kane, obviously unless you specifically disregard penalties.
I'd love to see data on diving.
Re: Data analysis in football
Obviously the main limit here is that it's random little graphs showing the odd discrete thing or two.
What the clubs are looking at is how you make use of all this data to get full pictures. They are hiring guys from Facebook and Google and the like with doctorates to do this analysis and interpretation. At the moment there is more data than there is meaningful analysis and clubs are trying to work out how to fix that.

Data has driven soccer to new heights. But narrowing the margins in matches might come at the expense of their true value: to entertain.

In football’s third age, old certainties have melted away and nothing is as it seems
No longer a game of territory or possession, the prevailing tactic is more complex – as Bournemouth’s kick-off routine shows

anyho, here are two articles from two of the more cerebral football journalists out there, both have a particular taste in the development of football tactics - not quite data analysis but close enough

Re: Data analysis in football
I work in an industry inundated with data and it is eating itself through misinterpretation.
Data is incredibly important but it relies on the user understanding what it is tellling them. I can show you data indicating increased sales of green underware from M&S leads to houseprices stagnating. It still needs appropriate analysts to accurately identify application of almost infinite amounts of numbers.
Hell! There are even instances of 'sprints' being abused when taking a throw-in.

Re: Data analysis in football
I’ve often wondered if the game could be in danger of becoming too mechanical or robotic owing to things like data analysis along with the coaching that then comes off the back of the data.
Is the game in danger of losing the natural flair and creativity of its attacking players in favour of set phases of play that are data driven? What does this look like in reality? Does it mean, for example, wingers don’t take on full backs anymore and instead opt to come back inside to keep the ball like Grealish now seems to do every time he gets it? The obvious comeback question I guess is why would or could that happen? Well, if the data presented a case to suggest wingers are statistically much better off recycling the ball instead of taking the full back on, then a coach may implement that accordingly, which I think is boring!
Another concern I have is regarding the already happening data-race that realistically will only be won by the so called bigger teams which inevitably grows the gap in performance standards even further. Personally, I’m already miffed at the chasm that already exists in the so-called greatest league in World Football, and this gap is only going to get bigger if a club like ours can only afford 2/3 data analysts as opposed to Man City’s 10 (I’m guessing on numbers here).

Re: Data analysis in football
One of the lamentable things about data analytics, is the uniformity of players and playing styles. They are almost athletes first and footballers second. That's a blanket statement of course that has examples of contradiction. But it seems very unlikely a matt le tissier for example, would find his way through the myriad of data points that make up the modern footballer.
I want to see individuals and individual expression. At it's best football can be a beautiful thing to watch. But far too often it feels like I'm watching supreme athletes run simulations or patterns of play in sequence. Data is great to a degree, but I think it stifles the potential for magic, which is why I fell in love with the game.

Don’t need analytics to show that VAR is corrupt

Re: Data analysis in football
I am sure that I have posted about this before - though it is now apparently becoming much more of the norm in contract negotiations

Re: Data analysis in football
Jonathan Wilson for The Observer with an interesting counterpoint to the over-reliance on data in game management
Jürgen Klopp is right: man-management skills are being lost in a rush of data
In the seasonal flurry, the process is over-prioritised and as the Liverpool manager points out, players’ emotions count more
