So it's silly season, and we're discussing where the direction will be angled in terms of future transfers.
It won't feel like a spursy transfer window unless we obsessively collect another midfielder that we don't need, but what about defenders?
It's been more than an obsession this season that we need a left-back. Watching the video of Lloris saves (and only the saves, scarily) shows that we, generally, had a back four like a bunch of headless chickens who had just taken acid before chopping their own heads off.
With this in mind, I've managed to complete my spreadsheet of this season's 54 games, each with full lineups and substitutions for every game (along with other stats). Using the starting lineups, I've finished off a series of charts that were used in the Maff's n Stats thread.
Rather than try and say these show anything, I'm just going to leave them here. Might be an interesting focal point for discussion, might end up dropping off page 1 within an hour, but here you go.... (click to enlarge on some)
And to counter the snidey comments before they manifest themselves from the usual corners, here's "Prem" only.
If anyone spots any mistakes in the stats, let me know. There should be none, I've been over it countless times. The 19 different PL back four combinations should be accurate, and I can't see any duplicates, so more a scary thought than mistake I hope.
Have fun!
