What Can Game Statistics Tell You and Does Your CLub Collect and Use Them?

Its unlikely that many of our Premier League Clubs too muchin the way of game stats, which is a shame, because they can tell the Coach and player(s) a lot - about themsleves and their opponents.

Collecting stats takes time and analysing them takes more time. Then what to do with them?

How many teams in our PL take vidoe of their games - the good old hand held video camera will do? I don;t see too much of it around the grounds. Pity. I suspeect that many of our junior games have a more comprehensive record captures on video by enthusiastic parents - pciture and videos "go striaght to the pool room"!

This video provides some rudimentray analysis of the EPL season 2007. Take the time to see what it might have told you if you were a supporter, coach or player. Very intersting. Data collected by The Times and analysed by Phil Wymer.
