The passing combination can be very revealed when it comes Premier League Teams play. Who sees the ball a lot, and whom do they go? Who receives a lot of passes – and, in some cases, which does not do?
We still have only six games in the season and therefore working with the size of a small sample, but some trends are already emerging.
Let us tell the most common passing connections of a top teams that they tell us about their style.
Arsenal The balls are distributed more evenly
Key State: Martin Zubemandi Six of the 15 most common combinations of guarantee are included.
The most common passing combination on any team is guaranteed to be between about two centers back which play regularly together. This makes sense, especially for the elite clubs, as they will spend a lot of time that broadcasts the ball against the teams sitting them.
True to form, the most common connections of arsenal are William Saliba To Gabriel Magalhees (58 passes) and Gabriel back in Saliba (50 times). But the first non-default to appear in the list is the new signature, which seems important.
There is no doubt that the Spain’s midfielder already holds a firm on the game of this team, and what is notable is that it is more evenly distributing the ball from left to right from right to right, which is probably used arsenal.
This is a team that has taken a heavy right -wing prejudice for its game in recent years, because Bukeyo saka, Ben white And Martin Ødegaard Was so impressive. But with affecting the injuries on the right, now better options are available on the left side, and the luxury is able to serve both flax, this prejudice is decreasing.
The 26 -year -old has sent a slightly more pass (57) for a combination of Saliba and Christian mosquitoThose who have shared duties on the right side of central defense, compared to Gabriel on the left (48). In front of the pitch, he has passed the midfield team partner more often Declan Rice (45) On the left, compared to any combination of Ødegaard, Mikel Merino And Aborchi azWho has shared the third midfield slot to all.
There is a pleasant balance for this, and if you were thinking that the Arsenal attack looks slightly more diverse, the distribution of the luxury is a major component of the same.
Main statue: Neto has received 103 passes in the last third – 36 more than someone else.
Injuries and a squad shakeup in summer have created a very different experience for this Chelsea team, which are without their best passing centers Levy coalville (Injured), and two separate injuries have to be dealt with to attack the midfielder Cole Palmer already.
These situations offer opportunities for others, however, and Winger Neto has taken the opportunity to mark themselves as a major outlet in this team.
The endless circulation of the chelsea of the ball in deep areas means that Portugal International does not appear in the most common passing combinations of the team, but when it really comes to push the ball forward, it suddenly appears.
They have received 13 progressive passes from the left side Mark cucrelaFrom 12 midfielders Ango fernandez And nine from defender Travoh ChalbaNo other Chelsea player has hit double points in this category.
103 pass attackers of NETO leads to the next-clostage challenges, Fernandez (67) and Striker received in the third Joao Pedro (71), from a significant distance – despite that he is playing 92 and 75 less minutes respectively.
Key State: Advice is included in only two of the top 30 most common passing combinations of Liverpool.
This is a curious start for the season for a very changed Liverpool team, Which spent more than £ 450 million in this summerAs their major issues have been swept away under carpet because they are winning late-till the end of this week till 2-1 crystal Palacehe is.
Instead of losing, instead of being correct, it focuses on the eye on what is going wrong. The Cellharst Park belonged to a subject, once again, the advice did not feel particularly impressive. Further, who managed 29 goals and 18 assistance in 38 matches in the previous season, did not record a shot on the target and did not complete a single drill.
When you look at Liverpool, it is clear that he has called for a long time in sports, and the data backs up. He appears only twice in the top 30 most common combinations of the team, as was opposed four times in the top 30 of the previous season.
This season has been his biggest provider Dominic szoboszalaiWhich has also returned to the right in the midfield, but he completed only two passes at the international level of Egypt in the last weekend. Florian wretzIn the number 10 slot, the club’s new £ 100 million midfielder has completed only 19 passes in 441 minutes.
Liverpool’s game is not currently running through its best player, which is undoubtedly desperate to fix some coach Arne slots.
Manchester City Are progressing through wings
Main statue, Jeremy Doku The city is the third and fourth most common receiver.
At the top of the piece, we mentioned how the center-back-to-center-back combinations usually lead the passing charts of top teams. You specifically believe that Pep Guardiola should have a case with Manchester City – but the number of this season is surprisingly low.
Ruben dias‘Top connection is Josco guardiol (3 (), while Guardiol has sent back 31. You will expect that this number will be around 70 or 80 from this point, but two things have shut down it. First, so far, there is not much continuity for the city personnel so far. And second, a 1-1 draw against arsenal, in which there is a remarkable game plan, in which there RhodariSeven full pass team led by Dies has affected the size of a small sample.
However, it is clear that the city is using wings to progress the ball. 32 near Doku received from Gvardiol and 31 from left side Nico o’reli The third place in the team is in the third place, while Oscar bob Top 15 appears twice in 15, receives 25 from midfielder Tijani resaders And 23 defender John Stones,
Doku and Bob have registered four assistance between them in six matches, in which Doku looks particularly bright.
Main statue, Luke Shaw Six of the seven most common connections of United are included.
Manchester United’s initial season occupation game has carried forward a clear left-sided bias. Shaw (LCB), Patrick Dorgu (LWB) and Bruno Fernandes ,
England International, which was a standard, when Ruben Amorim arrived with his 3-4–2–1 formation, left a standard before going to the center, Fernandes returned 59 times, 50 times from Doorgu and back to the center 34 times back to the center. Mathies de ligateHe has also obtained balls from those players 41, 36 and 53 times respectively, making him the real hub of the team’s passing game.
The system of Amorim uses only two central midfielders, so it is by design that an external center is included in a passing game. In fact, they need to step several times and become a third midfielder. This will be in an ideal world Lisandro martinezWhich excels on it, but is still recovering from a torn ACL in February.
Does Amorim have a look at focusing on the occupation on the left side in the future, or is it a more request to the fact that the best player of United, Fernandes plays that side?
Key State: Mohammad Kudas Any other spurs are included in more open-play sequences (182) than any other spurs player.
Let’s flip from left to left now and talk about the passing preferences of Tottenham Hotcur, which has been quite dramatically slant since the arrival of £ 50 million from West Ham to West Ham in this summer.
Ghana Winger has received 171 passes at a gap of six games; Only four regular, plus goalkeeper Gugleem VicarioHas obtained more. Right back Pedro Poro One likes to pass through Kudas, successfully connects 39 times. The twelve of them have been progressive passes, which is the most tally on the team.
But what is really the participation of the house Kudas, the fact that he plays the team to join the open-play sequence (182). For comparison, szoboszlai (209) is at the top of this data for liverpool, Moses prisoners (202) For the arsenal for Chelsea and Rice (182). Difference of? They are all central midfield engine-Kamare players.
The new manager Thomas Frank has clearly encouraged the team to bring Kudas into the game. Anyway, it suits the ball to work on the right flank, because Poro has always been a good distributor and Christian RomeroThe right center that plays the right center is the most talented line-breaking passer to the club so far.
