Yes, but that was at home with us having no DM playing after a disrupted pre-season. Spurs had 10 other players on the pitch, most of whom were rated above Skipp, who is a very good DM, but not a world beater on his own.They failed to score but put 5 past us and Arsenal.
You're like a jilted lover , Skippy is brilliant & you know it .Yes, but that was at home with us having no DM playing after a disrupted pre-season. Spurs had 10 other players on the pitch, most of whom were rated above Skipp, who is a very good DM, but not a world beater on his own.

Mildly interesting, long passes per 90, comparing Normann to all midfielders in the top 5 leagues in Europe. Somewhat of an outlier! And a style of passing we rarely see in Farkeball. Perhaps helpful in feeding Tzolis/Rashica/Pukki on the break?
The Normann compilation on YouTube gives a good idea of his long passing and through ball skills.Great stat. I’d say more helpful feeding a flying Aarons/Williams/Giannoulis/Mumba - a few times we have narrowed the game well in the centre of the pitch and created space out wide, only for the ball not to get to Aarons quickly enough. It’s not an easy one, but this should help.

No head scratching needed. Have another look at the Y-axis scale!According to that, we have one of the best defenses in the PL? Is everybody scoring against us on attempts with 0.1 xg ? I'm scratching my over this.

Wishful thinking!Ha! Thanks Robbie. I was reading the y-axis as if it started at zero at the bottom.
