Question: I really enjoyed Alex's breakdown of manager success by position and found his manager XI interesting. Could we get a statistical breakdown of each manager he chose for his XI and why he chose them?
I would like to know where the coaches and their idols were born and how it influenced their coaching philosophies and I would like it to be represented in and audio visual scattergram in 30 seconds. Thank you Alex please get to it🙏🏽.
I feel it'd make a good Podcast episode for the Foootball Cliche's team. They do a lot of XI's videos for various situations afterall. Usually include a lot of fun insight and history to their picks too.
Since Tom Worville escaped the scattergram and joined RB Leipzig, their results and league position have improved significantly. How much of this is correlation, how much is causation and what measures should you take to ensure Mark Carey doesn't escape too?
as someone who's never actually heard the 'construction noises' , how can we be sure they arent an example of collective psychosis? might this explain the slowly changing style of the show?
Question: Antonio Conte recently said that Eric Dier is "one of the best defenders in the league" and, in December 2021, said that he can become "one of the best defenders in the world." And Jose Mourinho famously admired Dier greatly. Almost no regular football fans would give Dier so much credit, so are we being unfair to him?
Having watched most spurs games I’d even argue that his mistakes leading to goals would have to be in the high 90 percentiles, he doesn’t make many at all
@@Smitdogz ....dang that's a good point on mistakes vs mistakes leading to goals, as usually I watch Dier and think he is rubbish. I still think he is BUT you've got me thinking there. Frankly I feel Spurs need a new back line except Reguilón and perhaps Romero (haven't seen enough to know due to his injury). Dier has definitely improved though.
Question: We often hear about the dribbley bois (Zaha, Grealish etc) being the most fouled players as teams try to reduce their effectiveness but who is the LEAST fouled attacking outfield player? I'd love it to be a Pirlo-esq player just gliding around the pitch constantly finding space away from defenders.
I think a defensive fullback is going to be fouled the least… maybe also a holding striker Now read attacking players so a holding striker is my guess think Giroud
Respect. I truly think Joelinton is becoming a modern goat of the game. The awareness and passing ability he shows from game to game is truly unmatched. I think 8 years from now he will be an 8 time winner of the Ballon dor and truly cement himself in the football hall of fame.
Love Joeli! Could you answer next week whether the resurgence of Xavi's Barcelona is something ominous on the horizon for European football? Can they challenge for major honours already?
Tbf this real Madrid team is being given a bit too much credit for beating PSG ; PSG dominated both legs for 85% of the tie just fell apart completely. Benzemas brilliance kinda glosses over alot of the teams deficiencies (despite being way better than last year). That said barca still dominated them one of the best barca displays I've seen in years. This is a youngish barca team with alot of potential but I still feel if they come up against a complete team like liverpool city or bayern they'd get ripped to shreds
until they properly fix their financial situation? probably not. Don't be fooled by their dismantling of Real Madrid.. god only knows what was going on in Carlo's head last night with his bizarre team selection and formation.
sorta kinda. He had attributes in terms of ball retention and progressive passing that were key to Poch's style. But he was also VERY injury prone, and did not score as many goals as he should. I would posit that Eriksen was probably more important and consistent
@@rossatron8352 I’d say a different sort of player, but quite an astute signing. Those little pirouettes and carries on the edge of the penalty area still scare me.. but to have a player with the balls and skill to carry them off - yay!
People can’t forget that Joelinton becoming a deeper midfielder cam first against Norwich as Newcastle were down to 10 men after Clark was sent off and that meant joelinton had to play a mixture of a ball winning midfielder and also try and push up the wing to support ASM and Wilson upfront. Howe has done brilliantly to notice his true potential as a free flowing ball winning midfielder
Question: Historically, which type of club has been more successful overall: clubs that go through a lot of managers, or clubs that hold onto managers for a longer?
Man I think that's the first time Seb's been on camera! Nice change of pace seeing him breakdown tactics at the board Alex and JJ are so quick and want to show the tactics, but I thought Seb was very deliberate and took the time to paint the image of what the little circles represented. Great work to the whole Tifo team, as always!
Joelintons is such a powerhouse. So strong and energetic. His workrate and teams spirit is off the charts. Try to watch him closely when the PL starts.
With the introduction of greatly increased positional flexibility of how modern teams play football (for example Liverpool's right hand side trio of TAA, Henderson and Salah), what do you feel is the possibility of the sport reaching the point where most, if not all, 10 outfield players are trained in such a way that they have the ability to rotate with almost anyone on the pitch?
Ye I was gonna reply saying they did it in the 70s but someone beat me to it. It's the biggest inspiration for Johan cruyffs playing philosophy and it's direct evolution can be said to be tiki taka. It was revolutionary at the time cuz it was the antithesis to the strongest tactic at the time the Italians catenaccio which relied on total positional obedience and was very defensive. I'm 70% certain it's acc a tifo video I remember this from lol
Would you guys be able to analyze any Libertadores fixtures/teams at some point during the season? I think I'm not alone in saying I'd love to see a bit more South American football on the channel! Cheers from Brazil!
About the Peter Crouch Van Der Vaart partnership. Out of Van Der Vaart’s 13 non penalty goals the only season they played together, the first 4 were all played down by Crouch for Van Der Vaart to finish off, however in total they only got 6 together (which is still very impressive)
The Eric Andre vibes coming off of this show are amazing. I never thought those two important worlds would meet (Football, Eric Andre) but I am so glad that they have. Also, Dog as pig.
Would be interested in research around the importance of ambidexterity and its quantification. I feel like being equally good with both feet can open up a player's game exponentially, given shooting/passing/dribbling options that become available with more angles at a player's disposal and therefore the added number of dimensions that opponents need to consider.
What has changed with Kai Havertz? He has looked like a completely different forward as of recent, scoring significantly more. Is he just in form, more confident, or does something else back this up?
Havertz put on a bit of muscle during the summer. there’s nothing in his play style that has changed tho. But he is a lot more tenacious than last season. I think the Lukaku signing put a chip on his shoulder
I've got an unusual question- as a Palace fan I was told we had "an easy run to the semi final" and it made me wonder - and I'll put this in caps for effect DO FA CUP WINNERS TEND TO HAVE "EASY" RUNS TO THE FINAL?
Question: Can we have a breakdown of all teams in the current PL top 6 and find out the points per pound of each team in terms of money Spent on Transfer and wages.
Please can you answer/dissect this: To make the FA cup incredible again: change the Champions League Qualification from the Premier League to 3 places rather than 4. And give the Winner of the FA cup the 4th Champions League spot. In the event that the winner of the FA cup finishes in the top 3 in the prem, then the 4th placed team in the Premier League would get the Champions League Qualification place. Thanks!!
or just make Conference League qualification a reward for winning the Cup. This would incentivize smaller, and dare I say it, Championship clubs take it way more seriously. But maybe I just miss the Cup Winners Cup
Hi lads. Your stats for Joelinton are not separated according to his position on the pitch. So his "touches in the penalty area" etc. are bound to greatly exceed the average DM if half the stats are for games where he was playing up front. You should pony up for a Statsbomb or OPTA subscription and get the position-specific numbers! In case anyone is wondering, I am an NUFC and Joelinton (as a midfielder) fan.
We hear a lot these days that the classic "Target Man" will come back into fashion. But how likely is it really? Will we see a team win the Premier League with this style soon?
What changed in the Istanbul 2005 final that allowed liverpool to make that comeback? Was it tactical or just momentum, luck and of course Steven Gerrard?
I thought Joelinton’s first appearance in midfield was against Norwich when Newcastle went down to 10 men early on? Hence it makes me wonder how deliberate or accidental his move to midfield was? Even so - great to see some decent analysis of him.
Two questions 1. Can Mark Carey enter a normal distribution curve? 2. Can normal distribution curves be used to assess the efficiency of a subset of players (such as attacking value of strikers in the EPL)?
Is Joel Matip underrated as a Centre Back in Europes top 5 leagues? I genuinely think if he wasn’t so injury prone or had a bit more pace he could be considered as one of the best in his position although he is having an outstanding 21/22 season
Question: Following the recent Euros qualification, beating Germany in the process and now knocking Italy out of the WCQs last night, how have North Macedonia become such a (relatively) successful/ difficult to play against side?
If i were to choose a goalkeeper/coach, i would probably go with Rogério Ceni. Kind of an unknown in world football since he only played in Brazil, but he was a world champion (2002) and was a prety solid keeper
As an aspiring political scientist and data analyst, I approve of Alex's use of time. I'm going to keep asking this question until it gets answered: As someone who has followed Tifo IRL since its inception -- does Alex Stewart actually like football? Or his job?
Question: With Divock Origi reportedly close to joining AC Milan, could you discuss his over-all play style and qualities, as well as how he would fit at Milan. As a Serie A fan who is not super familiar Liverpool or the Prem currently, I find it hard to gauge his current abilities and skill level because he plays so little. Thanks!
As a Liverpool supporter I have to say I'll miss him if he goes, but he deserves more game time IMHO he's a decent striker, works hard, great first touch, he's a little inconsistent but that could come with more game time and his shooting/finishing can be a bit wayward But he always seems to pop up and score when you need him the most, been super sub for us so many times, doesn't score much for Liverpool but when he does it's almost always a crucial goal/game. Give him regular game time and I think he'll be a good signing Just my twopenneth anyway!
Midfielders usually have a good personal understanding of both attacking and defending; so maybe that leads to them tending to be better managers. Midfielders also usually need to be more tactically aware than a centre back or striker, although all players need some tactical awareness.
question: what would football look like if instead of points, teams won based on goal difference in the table? would it change the formations used to prioritise scoring more goals or would the focus be on defence?
I would love to see who you think are the best run club in the world. We see many teams praised for their points accumulated relative to the net spend of the playing squad or for profiting from having very consistent youth academy players coming through etc. Who do you guys think are the best run considering all the possible parameters you can?
Question: If Ten hag or Potechino come into man utd as manager; and they have the time and money to buy & sell players- how could United line up next season?
Question: I really enjoyed Alex's breakdown of manager success by position and found his manager XI interesting. Could we get a statistical breakdown of each manager he chose for his XI and why he chose them?
😂

Or what club needs mark Carey the most?
Maybe there should be a graph to visually show us?
@@Stroganoff667 United?

I appreciated the work Alex put into his answer even if Joe didn't
Pretty sure that was the so called “British humor”
I think it's just a skit.
A ‘yes’ would suffice
@@LeoGuidi Look at JJ (Bull the Bullerd), he is efficient with his work. Alex should try that...
as someone who's never actually heard the 'construction noises' , how can we be sure they arent an example of collective psychosis? might this explain the slowly changing style of the show?
I think you've hit on something there.
It'd be funny if they played on that, have small moments of ever stranger and frightening ticks or something like they're going mad
Carbon monoxide leak
I think you might be on to something.
Moment of silence in the next video, not to pay respects for anyone but just to test out if the mics can even pick up the construction noises
Joelinton's first game in CM was vs Norwich, after Clark got sent off early he was moved to CM and found he played exceptionally so kept him there

And Jose Mourinho famously admired Dier greatly.
Almost no regular football fans would give Dier so much credit, so are we being unfair to him?
Having watched most spurs games I’d even argue that his mistakes leading to goals would have to be in the high 90 percentiles, he doesn’t make many at all
I'd also love to see this broken down, maybe it'll dispel some misconceptions we have about him?
@@Smitdogz ....dang that's a good point on mistakes vs mistakes leading to goals, as usually I watch Dier and think he is rubbish. I still think he is BUT you've got me thinking there.

No. It is the world class coaches who are wrong.

I'd love it to be a Pirlo-esq player just gliding around the pitch constantly finding space away from defenders.
There could defo be some scatter gram of players with most take ons completed per 90 and least fouls won to try and illustrate that
In the Premier League I reckon it's Salah
I think a defensive fullback is going to be fouled the least… maybe also a holding striker
Now read attacking players so a holding striker is my guess think Giroud
@@-edvins.388 What is a "holding striker"? What does he hold?
@@andrew7taylor target man sorry swedish getting in the way
I do really love Alex's investigative segments with the dry commentary and ultra zoomed-in screenshots
Question: how does Fikayo Tomori compare to England’s other centre back options?
Short answer: better
Long answer: better
Any chance JJ could do average wage/transfer spend breakdowns for the big 5 leagues, in the style of the Scottish Premiership breakdown?
Respect. I truly think Joelinton is becoming a modern goat of the game. The awareness and passing ability he shows from game to game is truly unmatched. I think 8 years from now he will be an 8 time winner of the Ballon dor and truly cement himself in the football hall of fame.
Love Joeli! Could you answer next week whether the resurgence of Xavi's Barcelona is something ominous on the horizon for European football? Can they challenge for major honours already?
Still seems a bit premature for that, but when you beat Real 4-0 idk…

Question: Was Mousa Dembele the most important player in Pochettino’s Tottenham team?
Certainly one of the most underrated players and player they needed to replace the most
Answer: yes
sorta kinda. He had attributes in terms of ball retention and progressive passing that were key to Poch's style. But he was also VERY injury prone, and did not score as many goals as he should. I would posit that Eriksen was probably more important and consistent
Feel like Bentancur could be finally filling the void that Dembele left. Looks to be a great signing in any case.
@@rossatron8352 I’d say a different sort of player, but quite an astute signing. Those little pirouettes and carries on the edge of the penalty area still scare me.. but to have a player with the balls and skill to carry them off - yay!

1:45 😅😅😅
Joe never fails to make me actually laugh out loud
These are genuinely hilarious, and the editing makes it even funnier.
The Tifo Football Show is undeniably my favourite thing on RUclips right now.
Joelinton’s an absolute beast in midfield.
£40m for him now looks like a bargain.
That Treebeard impression was excellent 👌
Ooh was very excited to be the source of the first question for this episode!
The fake "pulling rank" about effective use of time around 7:20 had me dying. You bloody idiots! Love Tifo and the new show :)
Fake?
I thought this whole channel was parody?
@@TheAthleticFC if it was real it'd be off camera and all that. You've been answered!
I think those Van der Vaart numbers must be a little off, they just look too good! Aside from that, perfect vid as usual chaps x
He is good. His tackles and strong possession with the ball is good. He reminds me of Dembele of Tottenham those years
Alex's detailed voiceovers are the best thing Tifo has ever done
I appreciated the spreadsheet
Tifo football show is a real game changer

This show is going to blow up, never had a bigger smile on my face whilst watching something football related. Sending hugs and kisses from Sydney
Question: Historically, which type of club has been more successful overall: clubs that go through a lot of managers, or clubs that hold onto managers for a longer?
genuinely one of my favourite, if not my favourite channel, and/or content on youtube! nothing but love

Great work to the whole Tifo team, as always!
This is by far and away the best content, not just on RUclips, but anywhere
Big fan of Peter Crouch and liked him in both spells at Pompey - shame he wasn't there for longer during our time in the Premier League.
How generally "uninterested" in the answers Joe is makes this show so much better! 😂
I really love that you've kept the Tom Orville/Mark Carey song going.
Still makes me laugh out loud every time. Kudos 🙌
this is slowly turning into my favourite series on youtube
These guys genuinely make me smile man.. thank you ❤️
Theres no way Van der Vaart scored 57 goals in 63 games between 10/13
Yeah it says 24 on wikipedia which sounds more like it
He 32 in 41 League games across 2 seasons at Ajax though!
I was thinking that too
I took it as stats for the partnership, as in Crouch and VDV combined.
@@nifemi_o that makes sense
Joe as an ent was the highlight of my week.
No, Van der Vaart did not score 57 goals in 63 games between 10/13. No. We don't know what happened there. No.
i love this show pls bring it back
My friends who don’t watch Newcastle don’t believe me when I tell them how good Joelinton is now.
I bet they believe you now bro.
The intelligent content brings me in and the tone and sarcasm keep me coming back 😅
Question:
Is Joe any good at rocket league, can we have an analysis into the kind of player he is?
Joelintons is such a powerhouse. So strong and energetic. His workrate and teams spirit is off the charts. Try to watch him closely when the PL starts.
These somehow get weirder every week and I’m absolutely here for it

What changed in the Istanbul 2005 final that allowed liverpool to make that comeback? Was it tactical or just momentum, luck and of course Steven Gerrard?
The most known goalkeeper that got coach is Cherchesov i think (former Russian national team coach)
nuno espirito santo (former wolves and tottenham coach) was a goalkeeper too

Could you do a comparison of how teams compare currently to a decade ago for the top 2 teams in the top 5 leagues? Tactics.. formation.. trophies ..
That game agonist city, Joelinton basically played as a box to box midfielder
6:58 these search results are wild 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
this definitely needs revisiting one year on, cant think of many better than J7
Question: How often do good assistant managers actually work as good managers?
I love the Mark Kerry songs
Two questions
1. Can Mark Carey enter a normal distribution curve?
