The Numbers Game – 2014/15 Review – Man City

1 July 2015 1071 comments

Paul

Our series of members articles, assessing the season gone by, continues this evening with a look at Manchester City.

Manuel Pellegrini’s men kicked off the campaign as champions after finishing two points clear of Liverpool in 2013/14 but a poor Easter period, where they lost four times in six matches between Gameweeks 27-32, allowed Chelsea to clinch the crown with three fixtures to spare.

We take time out to delve into their data, assessing the performance of City’s key Fantasy assets in terms of their creative and goal threat output.

Jonathan Pearce - BBC's premier commentator didn't even twig the Japan pen was well outside the box, and no-one even bothered telling him in his ear. Amateur coverage by licence payer money stealers.

This Japan team looks a bit arrogant to me. If we can retain the ball a bit more and not play so many direct balls in good positions, then we have a decent chance.

These challenges make a mockery of all the excuses made by ex-pro's for Premier League players going to ground.

How many PL forwards would fight to keep their footing having made contact with a keeper rushing out? Naive it might be, but refreshingly honest and no nonsense.

      The temp has now just fallen to 24c here in London. I have taken the decision to watch it on the balcony. There is a slight breeze as I'm by the river.
      Work was one of the toughest things I've ever done. It might sound dramatic but I have a history of feinting in high heats.

The men's England team has never been great at keeping the ball and expressing themselves, and it strikes me that the England women's team has the same mentality. Coincidence?

    I've watched every game except the first group game, and while the performances have been getting better, we still lack composure at the back. I do think Mark Sampson's tactics are to go from back to front as quickly as possible but it would be great to see England get it down and pass it when Japan aren't pressing. It will also have the effect of making the direct ball more dangerous when it does come.

    What stopped him from finding the right one last season? The Sturridge injury certainly didn't help, but there were so much unnecessary changes elsewhere. But I agree that finding the optimal lineup is not a straightforward formula.

      His almost duty laden responsibility to play Gerrard was a big factor. I can see some tinkering at first to find his team but expect Cout and Hendo to play a big part. With a big squad rotation is always likely. The manager has to also keep players happy.
