[Papa Lazarou]

Another interesting piece of tactical analysis.

Actually, this is probably better - it covers the same stuff, but also analyses our vulnerability with the high line defence and the importance of Estupinan to Mitoma

Worth noting we have faced the joint-fifth fewest shots this season, 21 - as many as Villa. Only Liverpool (19), Spurs (19), City (17), and Forest (17) have faced fewer. The issue at the moment is that we've conceded 8 goals, or 38% of shots faced, about as many as Villa (9) but more than Liverpool (2), Spurs (5), City (6), and Forest (5). So we're defending well on the whole but struggling more than our peers to keep out shots the opposition does manage to take.

Following the turnaround against Spurs and our pragmatic display at SJP, our defensive numbers have improved somewhat. We now have the joint second fewest shots faced (24, as many as Liverpool and more than City only). On the other hand, we've conceded 10 goals (roughly 42% of shots faced), which is worse than eight other teams but still on par with CL side Villa - and perfectly in line with our xGA (10.04).
