Did I just hear someone in the background of the Sky feed say "think United wil have a shot on target"?
Ignoring everything else, as well. How long has Klopp been in the job? How many players has he brought in?
I'm an analyst so trust me, I understand more than most that numbers can be made to tell whatever story you like once you remove context.
We need more data to judge trajectory. My point was Brenda's was always going down (something I think few would argue).
I disagree, he is getting considerably more out of them than Brendan, hence their current league position.
They are not a good team, and the defense was shit before he got there, but he has given them a drive and purpose that Brendan lost completely. Once he is able to bring in the players he wants (if he gets that chance, anyway) we'll see them really challenge again.
One of my mates forced me to watch Expendables 3 last night and everything you need to know about that movie is that Rocky 3 was made to look like a BAFTA winner by comparison... And it fairly represents the general quality on show during that Norwic-Liverpool match.Almost like watching a Rocky film. Both sides taking turns to deal out loads of damage, then taking it, then just swinging without a care for tactics or defence.
Apart from the fact that neither of these two were champions.
And I didn't really care who won...
...and the underdog didn't win or even draw...
...ok, just forget the analogy altogether.

I said that as I was predicting that his point per game rate would have declined (hence trajectory). Given that, which I thought was obvious (since any qualitative analysis is going to include a predictive/prognostic aspect), I am not sure why we would rule out relative ability to affect change (function of time in job, opportunity to change playing staff).You said they would be in the relegation zone, I dont see how if they would have similar points totals. So it has nothing to do with how long they had been in the roles or the players bought.
I don't know if I think it was a fix but, even so, why would that be an argument against my statements (I can be correct and it can still be a fix)?You're an analyst, they have just scrambled a win which had all the hallmarks of a fix.
He nearly always does—United always has at least one. When Vidic left they replaced him with Fellaini.Fellaini gets away with another fucking elbow. Beyond a joke.

That'd be trying to take the analysis to an unbalanced state, which makes no sense.
