The Mother of All Black Swans (Redux)

TTT Analysis, Plus Free Friday

Hola amigos! (It’s high time I learned some Spanish, beyond those two words, and the half-remembered phrase for ordering some beer…)

On TTT this week we pulled together an article where we tried to nail all of the main reasons – as we saw them – behind Liverpool's struggles this season (albeit there's nothing like a good win in the Champions League to lift the mood).

But should the Reds lose to Everton tomorrow, or should any further setbacks occur in the league, the article is there to refer to – indeed, I intend for it to be an article that we update as the season unfolds, should any new issues arise, or any new angles become apparent; as well as updating the data, and seeing if any of the trends change.

Beez (Andrew Beasley) has just today added an animation of the minutes played by the Reds' 17 different centre-back pairings in 2020/21, and that's the kind of thing we will look to add to the piece, whilst obviously continuing to write completely new pieces as well. (If Ben Davies gets any minutes this season, the Reds could easily reach 20.)

Rather than share the whole article here, the link is below, as well as the link to this week's Free Friday (which includes some references to the aforementioned piece.)

I hope you all enjoy the weekend! (Basically, that just means victory to the Reds tomorrow.)

¡Adiós!
