Inspired by @AnalysisEvolved’s End of Season Awards podcast episode, I looked at STL City’s “Jekyll & Hyde” award — who flipped their form the most this year based on Goals Added (using June 1 as the season midpoint and >500 min in each half). ⬇️ #AllForCity #STLCity
Can’t wait to see how this plays out over the next year. Earning a degree while playing at an elite level is such a unique opportunity — and building a better pro pathway without losing that balance is great for the growth of soccer in the U.S. #ussoccer #collegesoccer
The NextGen White Paper, developed over the past year with input from college athletic directors, coaches, players, professional league executives, and governance leaders, provides a roadmap to align college soccer with today’s rapidly changing athletic and professional landscape.

Liverpool GK Analysis: Can Giorgi Mamardashvili succeed Alisson?
A thread 🧵
#LFC #goalkeeper #foootballanalysis
POSITIVES: CROSSES
Mamardashvili is aggressive and brave when coming for crosses. He uses his frame well and rarely hesitates. He does elect to punch versus catch in a lot of situations, though.
Speaking of good goalkeeper performances against STL City… #AllForCITY #STLvsSJ
During Olof Mellberg’s #AllForCITY tenure, only two clubs have had a higher PSxG +/- against them, Montreal and DC (+6.8). City’s value at +6.0 indicates that goalkeepers have performed particularly well against them. New manager bounce today?!

Premier League Goalkeeper Analysis:
A look at where premier league GKs (>25 matches played) stand in terms of post shot expected goals / 90 and post shot xg +/- in domestic competition. Some interesting findings discussed below 🧵
#goalkeeper #goalkeeperdata #football #soccer
Potential surprises:
Bart Verbruggen: Interesting to see that Verbruggen holds the lowest PSxG +/- at -5.1. Even after removing the 7-0 thrashing by Forest, he’s still at -3.4.
Bernd Leno: A fan favorite at Fulham and reliable shot stopper. Although he is prone to a soft goal.
1/9
Below is a thread with clips that highlight Alisson’s 1v1 ability and why he ranks so highly in @Jhdharrison1’s Premier League GK ExG model…

8/9
He almost elects to lean and smother in these situations, rather than using a traditional GK spread (pictured below). Although there are instances where Alisson uses the spread, it seems as if he is more comfortable with this unique save style.
