Squad assessment so far: Best performers: Lenglet, Perisic and Hojbjerg Done well: Lloris (would've been above if not for today's shambles), Dier, Davies, Bentancur, Kulusevski, Richarlison and Kane. Not done well: Sanchez and Bissouma (via lack of game time for him) Been poor: Son Would rather not see play for us if given the choice: Sessegnon and Emerson
Notable changes in performance for the season to date (games = 8) . Measures expressed as a % of the overall 2021-22 per game measures ... Spurs : 1. Clean sheets are down 40% . 2. Defence are down 50% at catching the opposition offside. 3 Red card offences = 1 (same as last season) Opposition : 4. Clean sheets = 0. 5. Off target shots are up 41% 6. Yellow cards given are up 33% 7. Red card offences = 0 (at last seasons' rate would be 1) . My suggestion for the causes of : - 2/4/5 is that the team is sitting deep in defence and in large numbers - 7 is that the attack is not getting into sufficiently dangerous areas to force the accruing fouls that get yellow cards
This one is not as "flashing lights" as the "season compass" is over a season. The end of season is where things will be very clear (although already we can see trends arising for certain measures) .

At this stage of the season, the goal diversity (both scorers and assisters) has been much better than last season. 3. Inducing opposition players into red card offences (single event or two yellows) has been worse. At this stage of the season on the "like for like" , the opposition would have incurred two red cards. 4. Assisted goals have increased notably. 5/6. The team is scoring headers / from corner kicks at > 2x / 9x the rate of last season respectively. The reason for this is evidently improvement in the quality of crosses. 7. Penalty kick The current penalty award rate is much better than last season. 8/9. OG The opposition OG rate is about the same, and none have been flukes. 10. Clean sheet The opposition are being significantly less successful in preventing Spurs from scoring. 11. Red cards Spurs have already incurred as many red cards as they did last season. 12. Opposition assisted goals have increased notably. 13. The opposition have a significant reduction in headed goals. At this stage of the season on the "like for like" , the opposition should have scored 3 headers, while they currently have scored only once. 14-16. Spurs have conceded no goals from free kicks. 17/18. Penalty kick The opposition current penalty award rate is better than last season. 19. Spurs have conceded no OG. At this stage of the season on the "like for like" , Spurs should have conceded one OG.
Notable changes in performance for the season to date (games = 14) . Measures expressed as a % of the overall 2021-22 per game measures ... Spurs : 1. Number of clean sheets is down by 33% Opposition 2. Number of clean sheets is down by 69% 3. Number of direct/assisted goals scored has increased by 50/48 % respectively. 4. Number of goals scored from corners is down by ~33% My suggestion for the causes of : - 1/3 is that the defence is sitting too deep in defence - 2 is that the Spurs attack is too potent to prevent scoring - 4 is that the Spurs defence is well-organised +/- the opposition quality of crosses is quite low
