Just been playing around with this new football Ai, takes detailed football stats and feeds it into a ChatGPT style bot. Interestingly the things it comes out with using the stats matches up with what a lot of us have said.
Hull City is relatively strong in general play but has specific areas of weakness, particularly in offensive efficiency and certain defensive style aspects.
Hull City's goals per 90 minutes and expected goals per 90 minutes are mid-table, ranking 11th and 12th respectively. A significant area of concern is their non-penalty xG per shot, which at 0.09 is below the average and ranks them 22nd, indicating a lack of quality in shooting positions.
Additionally, their expected assists (xA) from crosses per 90 minutes is one of the lowest in the league at 0.16, ranking 23rd.
6th for successful dribbles per 90 minutes, which is a highlight in their offensive play.
3rd for total passes per 90 minutes, suggesting a preference for ball retention, but their long ball ratio is low (20th), indicating a less direct approach to attacking play.
Defensively, Hull City is more efficient, with their xGA per 90 minutes ranking them 4th, and goals conceded per 90 minutes ranking them 7th.
However, their defensive style metrics reveal weaknesses, particularly in Build Up Disruption where they rank 21st, indicating a struggle to disrupt opponents' passing. Their Pressing's Passes Per Defensive Action is also low, ranking 18th, suggesting less effective pressing. (This could be intentional due to playing style)
Hull City's main areas for improvement are in creating higher quality shooting opportunities and enhancing their crossing effectiveness. Defensively, they need to focus on disrupting opponent build-up play more effectively.
