⚽ Analysis on the performance of all 20 Premier League teams, from our chief football writer ⬇️ The Score by danielstorey85 has landed:
We have to talk about Leicester’s shooting from distance. A few weeks ago, this column expressed some fear about Leicester’s attacking metrics because they were taking so many shots from distance and that appeared to be because the strikers were struggling a little for service. Jamie Vardy has taken shots at a rate of 1.36 per 90 minutes this season. That’s almost exactly half his rate from last season.
2) Cristiano Ronaldo should no longer be starting in the Premier League, given he doesn’t want to be there and given nobody in the dressing room can really want him to be there either. When Ronaldo was scoring goals, it masked the lack of pressing from the front and masked most of the rampant individualism. But when he has scored three goals in 17 games, two of which were against Sheriff Tiraspol, that no longer becomes a valid defence.
You can argue amongst yourselves about whether it was or not a penalty; there will be little consensus. But is that not the point here? When VAR was introduced, those of us worried that it would irrevocably alter the fabric of the game were reassured that this was not an attempt to re-referee the sport, rather to address any clear and obvious errors.
They almost wasted another one. Forest were the better team for long periods. Morgan Gibbs-White was the game’s best player and scored a sumptuous goal. The midfield is finally beginning to knit together two and three-touch moves that get Forest up the pitch quickly and makes them harder to defend against.
But this team does still believe. They poured pressure on a Brentford team that sat on what it had and came 90 seconds away from achieving it. The equaliser could not have been more frantic, two deflections and an eventual own goal that owed everything to the law of averages and pure fortune. Cue a second agonising VAR wait that eventually decreed that Ryan Yates was not interfering with play. Andre Marriner might want to thank Stockley Park for saving him from a riot.
