Vrancken settled on a selection much more aligned with what I have been worrying he'd eventually get to.
Be interesting to see if Guendouz at #10 + Braga at striker suggest Hearts will be more aggressive in their press than they have been generally so far.
Only two games so usual grain of salt, but Hibs appear to have shifted to a more possession-centric style of play?
A potential issue is that neither of the typical sitting 2 midfielders have been good passers in possession in the 2-games, increasing oppo scoring probabilities.

Supplementary graphics with caveat over sample size this season - but there looks to be strong similarities in Motherwell’s approach both last season and so far this season.
Main differences are being a fair bit less direct, increase in volume of passes but less progression within those passes.
xG and shot numbers up slightly, but shots and xG conceded are up a significant amount I’d say.

This discussion is an excellent window into underlying trends in football tactics- well worth the 80 minutes.
The timeline on the evolutionary impact of the analytics revolution progresses and the arms race continues to be one of intellect.
“This is still Guardiola’s world. It’s just that teams have found a way to shift the needle in their favor rather than his.”

Examples continue to percolate to the surface. There are no magic formulas or algorithms- but people who understand the actual problem and engage in related critical thinking and building a culture which embraces the intellectual competition to gain AND maintain advantage.
A mental framing which places Martin O'Neill as being more qualified to confront these challenges than a "Martin Christie" fundamentally misunderstands what the problem is.
The equivalent of the scouts in this scene just won the civil war - the rebels have lost and the likely pathway to Anderlecht probably secured.
Thank goodness there will be no players signed with ugly girlfriends!

Excellent insight behind the scenes at one of the most interesting football stories in Scotland
Part-time Stenhousemuir are eight points clear at the top of the Championship.
I spoke to Ochilview director of football Martin Christie about "Stennyball" - the data-driven strategy that has taken them from League 2 to the brink of the Premiership. 👇

The last week has not been Nancy-esque.
There was a clear plan being followed, regardless of what one thought about it last December.
Inherited an orgy of injuries and 2 quickly off to AFCON. Iheanacho & Araujo played less 1 half
Celtic have signed 15 players since Araujo?

doubling/tripling down on an archaic and delusional culture.
Absurd narratives then fueled the collosally dumb, but unsurprisingly so, decision to bring O'Neill back for a single season, and having him involved in transfer decisions.
The 33 days last season offer lessons to
