Thanks, very interesting to see.

I suspect that Eriksen on his current form for a whole season would be much nearer Bale but probably short of Modric.

I checked the minutes played figures and discovered that Eriksen actually has the best key-pass rate of any Spurs player in recent years and is on course to surpass Rafa of 2011/12.

Holtby has been near the top for us these past 2 seasons but his figures are probably skewed by his impact-sub role when we've been pressing for a late goal, at Fulham his rate is 40 minutes compared to 29 with Spurs.

Huddlestone' rate of 53 minutes per key-pass for Hull this season is the same as it was back in 2009/10, when he last was a regular starter for Spurs.

Wow - I knew Eriksen was playing well but that really surprises me.

If we could get him to harry about the midfield and press like Modric did, we could have someone really special indeed.
 
The 2011/2012 stats are amazing. It also shows how more involved Bale became in our play as his game developed.
 
2011/2012:

Modric, Bale, VDV, Adebayor, BAE.

4 of those are gone and the 5th is unpredictable as hell. :(

I see Eriksen more as an heir to VdV but it would be great if he did develop into as complete a midfielder as Modric.

Thought I might as well calculate the rest of the KP rates for Spurs players who got into double figures... Does emphasise quite what a creative void there was following the sale of our top 3 key-passers in the summer of 2012.

Hmmm, how different things might've been at the top of the Premier League this season if Emirates Marketing Project' star forward had been as injury free as Liverpool's...

Aguero: 1,270 minutes played = 60 mins per goal contribution
Suarez: 2,693 minutes played = 62 mins per goal contribution
Sturridge: 2,072 minutes played = 77 mins per goal contribution
Dzeko: 1,568 minutes played = 105 mins per goal contribution
Negredo: 1,709 minutes played = 142 mins per goal contribution

Guess we'll see next season how the rigours of Champions League football stretches Liverpool' physio team.

strange season of non performance, would appreciate if anyone can find out "negative" stats e.g. player with the most failed passes/least completions that highlights weaknesses rather than strengths
 
Well somehow we spent the 4th most time in the attacking third last season... probably because we struggled to score goals early on in games and were often playing catchup which then left us vulnerable to the quick counters we used to specialise in :-k

WhoScored.com publishes territory info for each PL fixture which tells us which areas of the field play has taken place in.

...So, this tells us what percentage of play took place in the attacking, neutral, and defensive thirds of the pitch.

...With this information we can create a couple of visualizations that help us to get a better understanding about the information. The further right a team is on this chart the more time per game they spent in the attacking zone. The lower a team is on this chart the less time spent in their defensive end per game.

Under AVB we were a possession team, winning the possession percentage in nearly all our games (Liverpool was the first one I noticed we lost out). Even in the thrashing by City we edged the possession at the end and we were leading substantially at the half.

I was looking at the goal scoring by various sides. The league table for the top eight positions follows goals scored order except for United jumping a couple of places. The bottom seems to correlate better with goals conceded. Liverpool and City both scored four or more 11 times. Nothing surprising there.

What I found interesting is the efficiency of converting goals to points. We were the best. Our record when we only scored one goal was 7-3-1 (W-D-L). Only Crystal Pulis had more wins from a single goal but they also lost more (8-2-4). Again, when we scored two or more we were most effective at converting them to points as we only dropped four points (14-2-0). Palace and Villa also only dropped four points but from far fewer games. City and Liverpool dropped far more points when scoring two or more (ten points each).

In contrast, West Ham managed to lose all the games where they only scored once (0-0-10). They did much better when they failed to scored (0-6-9).

It is obviously not a revelation that goal-scoring was a major problem for us, but it does demonstrate the Jekyll & Hyde nature of our defence. When we scored it was very reliable but it was also liable to thrashings by the better sides. While you would expect worse results against the better sides, this gulf between how we managed against the top three and the rest is unusual. Contrary to gut feeling, I think this means there is the makings of a good defence.

Well at least we remain ahead of Emirates Marketing Project for another season...

We really should have won more league titles. Don't understand why we never did so after winning the League and Cup double in 1961. Even the likes of Sunderland, Sheff Wednesday and Wolves have won more league titles than us. Why did we went to sleep after the record-breaking season of 1961 ? How I wish we can win the league title for once ! But just can't see us winning the league title ahead of the likes of ManCity or Chelsea now.
