    Has data’s impact on football been overstated?
    2024/09/19
    This week, we’re focusing on the world of football data and whether it’s had the profound impact on the game — on and off the pitch — that everyone thinks it has. So, has data actually changed football?

  • Why were there so many goals this season?

    Why were there so many goals this season?
    2024/05/23
    In this episode, The Athletic’s Michael Cox, Mark Carey and Liam Tharme join Ali Maxwell to talk about why this Premier League season has had an unbelievable number of goals. The number of goals being scored in the top division of English men’s football is at its highest rate since the 1960s. But what has caused this? Are goalkeepers not as good as they used to be at keeping the ball out of the net? What has VAR done to the game in the context of goals given or denied? And are players shooting more and better? This and much, much more on the final Tactics podcast of the 23/24 season.

  • Alternative Team of the Season 2023/24

    Alternative Team of the Season 2023/24
    2024/05/16
    In this episode, The Athletic’s Michael Cox and Mark Carey join Ali Maxwell to put together an alternative team of the season from the 23/24 Premier League. Mark and Michael are allowed to choose one player from each of the teams in the bottom half of the Premier League to make up their side. The mathematically minded amongst you will clock that only gives them eleven players, so from one team they get two picks. This episode really illustrates the truth held within that famous internet aphorism from E.M. Hudson: “Dudes can literally just sit around and name old sports players and just have the best time.” Hosted by: Ali Maxwell With: Michael Cox & Mark Carey Produced by: Steve Hankey Learn more about your ad choices.
