It doesn't tell anything new, everyone knew we had poor coaches and we didn't have a system.

Not that anyone said it, I don't think this old data is of much use this season.
100%. It's completely irrelevant now but it'll be interesting to compare the difference at the end of next season.

Exactly, will be interesting to compare
the passing map of 2022-23 vs 2021-22.

This is fantastic. Thanks for posting and providing a summary.

I think, from ten Hag's point of view, he'd be wanting to address everything we struggle at, which a lot of the things you listed, was clear to see. Whilst we obviously need players, a lot of our issues can be addressed by a structural change and tactical implementations. I look forward to seeing what that graphic looks like after ten Hag's first season.

This is damning because we got rid of Smalling for Maguire because apparently one can play the ball well and Smalling's a donkey on the ball.
Maguire is good on the ball, though, especially when driving with it. My question is, do we set up in a way that maximizes his abilities on the ball?
