A bit of a different piece; I decided to look into the idea of creating player profiles based on the types of progressive passes they make.

Jan Paul van Hecke goes into the international break as our leading top goal scorer in the Premier League (2).
He also ranks 2nd for xG (1.63).

Curious to see how Marmoush is used after the international break.
Of Premier League strikers with 360+ mins this season, he's had the 3rd most touches in the attacking 1/3 per 90.
However he ranks 4th bottom for touches in the penalty area and 2nd bottom for Non Penalty xG.

Sandro Tonali's recent defensive performances have been great, but I felt like he really struggled to get involved on the ball today.
Despite us having 61% possession of the the ball, he only had 46 touches, just 2 fewer than Bentancur who came onto the pitch in the 65th minute

Duels, we didn't win enough today.
Leeds won 61% of the ground duels (our lowest win % of the season) and 54% of the aerial duels.
"First of all, I'm sorry for the performance in the second half. We didn't play like a top team.
We played without the right spirit, the right character, the right physicality in the duels."
- Roberto De Zerbi.

Today's 7 shots is our lowest tally of the season (averaged 16 per game before today).
It was also the fewest shots that Leeds have conceded in a Premier League game this season (average of 14 before today).

Leeds won a lot of the midfield duels today, and they also won the ball high up the pitch.
9 high turnovers, the most that we've lost the ball this season (Brentford = 8).
Daniel Farke's cryptic press conference comments means it's unclear whether Calvert-Lewin will be starting tomorrow.
Regardless, I was already taking a look at some of his impressive aerial numbers earlier in the week (Thread).
If DCL does start tomorrow, I would imagine that he will try to drift towards van Hecke (assuming he starts).
When Leeds played Brighton in May, he won 4 of the 6 aerials that they competed.

Four Spurs (outfield) players now have more than 600 minutes so it's time to take a glance at their data.
82% of our goal kicks this season have gone short, compared to 66% last season.
Inspired by a similar style of post to @yureedelahi, I was interested to see who has possession of the ball, 30 seconds after a goal kick, and where.
