Excited to launch @JamesTactics | your go-to source for in-depth football analysis. I'll be sharing tactical breakdowns, insights on Sporting CP & Manchester United.

lmao @JamesTactics didnt u just tweet this like yesterday 😂😂

And you just know that If the raw data was bad they wouldn’t be adding any context. They would just use it to bash the team/manager

I rewatched the first half against Chelsea. I think we were very good. — Extremely fast start. Chelsea had no answers whatsoever. Created 3 dangerous situations in the first 4 mins. One of those situations led to Sanchez red. — Maresca folded and made many defensive subs. — We kept the pressure and kept on attacking. The attack was very good and Chelsea hardly had any attacks of their own. — Scored 2 goals and there could have been more with a bit more clinical action in the final third. — Casemiro unfortunate red card ended the first half. Ref should have done better. Poor decision from the ref. — Even when we were defending in mid block, I noticed that we were compact. That led us to win the ball and start our transition attack. Great to see.

When the data favours us there is always a context behind it but if the data had favoured other teams the same people will use that data to attack

I genuinely think if Amorim came in this summer and the team pulled performed like this..the word around him would've been very different. It's just that people have already made up their mind regarding him and can't come to terms with any sort of positive stats from his team

🟢 Supporters involved in 2018 Alcochete training ground invasion return to Alvalade: “We Are Back” Last night’s fixture at Alvalade marked the return to the South Stand (“Curva Sul”) of a group of Sporting supporters who had previously been detained in connection with the notorious events at the club’s Alcochete training ground in 2018. The group, many of whom faced legal consequences and lengthy stadium bans following the incident which saw ultras storm the first-team training facility and physically confront players and staff made their presence felt by unveiling a banner reading: “We Are Back.”

Back when I was a kid, I used to watch GIFs of Ronaldo before my own football matches. There was this website or blog called “c-r-7.skyblog” or something like that. I’ll never forget this GIF vs Ashley Cole

Every time I drop the raw @premierleague data (GW3 & GW5), accounts always appear out of thin air to “contextualize” the numbers, with the sole intention of downplaying any optimism and steering the fanbase toward pure negativity. The data is raw, and it’s compared against 19 other Premier League teams, each with their own context, game states, sample sizes, and all the other arguments people use to diminish positive metrics. Everyone who watches the games knows the raw data never tells the whole story and there’s still a lot of work to be done. Use the data as you please, but I encourage everyone to actually watch the games as well. I see progress both in the data and on the pitch. Hope this helps.

We still believe in the fairytale that Ribery deserved the 2013 BDO over Ronaldo?

VIKTOR 🫱🫲 GYÖKERES Com 63 golos em 58 jogos pelos Leões, @viktor_gyokeres conquistou o Troféu Gerd Müller, que elege o goleador do ano na gala do @ballondor 🏆

Multiply his Ballon D’Ors count by 4x, because this organization hates him to the bone. Against all odds. Against everything and everyone. Cristiano Ronaldo dos Santos Aveiro. 🐐

Fairs

Football truly fell off

Don’t know if it’s true, but we’ll take it We got a genius gaffer

I did my Uefa licenses with Amorim and he was by far the best on the course. He understood the game on a level that was different from everyone else around him. Man Utd do not have a truly world class squad. Give him time.

Per @OptaAnalyst, Ruben Amorim’s team had the most difficult fixtures with an average opponent rating of 94.7. That context alone says a lot about @ManUtd still dominating a lot of metrics in the Premier League. 3 points off second place & 2 points off European Football. Next-up: @BrentfordFC
