KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Commolli's hand revealed?

The whole subject is mind numbing

or trying to be too clever? A good scout seemed to do the trick in my day.

Geoff Twentyman step forward please

Commolli's conned a few hundred grand out of FSG before they found him out so it aint all bad. I wish I had thought of it. Damn!!!!

Iv’e an idea. How about getting a clairvoyant to predict the opposition’s tactics then you could prepare all week knowing what they were about to do? I call this technique stanleywise. John I will do it for £400k a year on a three year contract and you can sack me after 6 months and pay me the rest. Don’t worry about the cost those dopy season ticket holders will bear it. But a word of warning I might cry if sacked (I am sensitive) so could I ask Linda comforts me in this event?

Kind Regards

Stanley

Watched the Moneyball movie and get the principles of the theory. IT makes a lot of sense ... but, you still need players with heart and connection to each other.

Moneyball works better in baseball when the connection and style in which players interact on the pitch is less important.

On that article. It's an interest read, and I'm not dismissing it's suggestions, but it seems a bit reaching for me to go from those stats to Commoli had a bigger hand in everything than we think. There's certainly not even half the amount of evidence required there for me to begin to think that was likely. I mean its all just circumstantial to say the least. I'm not saying its all wrong, just that it doesn't seem much more likely than before I read the article.

this thread is giving me a headache

the whole thing should be forgotten about..nothing to do with football and how to build a football team or club..its like something nazi germany would do ..you think barca scout youngsters or train them in their academy with loads of stats guys around. its truly disgusting, and should be left to american baseball.

Agreed.. what a load of rubbish. To think that we bought players on stats alone just seems riduculous. What the hell happened to buying players because they are clearly good and would fit a position, style and requirement for our team.

If stat man did use that stuff, i'm glad he is gone. Lazy [oops].

I always try to respect people's opinions and analogies that make sense in their head. But you have equated american baseball transfer strategy to Nazi philosophy...

its not the real world of football though..its spoofers trying to make money for themselves. the real world of football is run by people that know football and don't need stat guys around to tell them what they already instinctively know . its a joke
