Similarly if you stick your head up your arse for long enough a bloody big turd will eventually land on it.
I assumed it was a piss take - did he actually say that!?
Lazy scouting is the problem. Data tells me nothing. I can see when a player passes forward. I can see when it’s not on to pass forward and have to keep the ball. Data will tell you that player is only 50% of the time passing the ball forward. It doesn’t tell you that 50% of the time he shouldn’t try pass it forward.
I hate it and have no time for any of it. Signing players because of false data is pathetic. Not for me and shouldn’t be for a club who need to sign very good footballers.
You're the problem with the internet
Data can tell you a lot of things, but it needs to be used in context
It can tell you a player makes lots of blocks/tackles, for example, but you need to contextualise it by the sort of team he plays in to understand how that plays into this as well, for example.
And this is the point - Data is a hugely valuable resource, if used correctly. In tandem with proper scouting, watching players, understanding who a player is etc
Too many people see Data as an absolute, its not, its justa piece of information, can be used in both good or bad ways
It definitely has its place but yeh it needs context. Forward progressive pass percentage could be 100% but where are those passes going to and what’s the outcome? There’s never a substitute for watching and assessing players with the eye and that’s what the best scouts will always do.
Ah, it might be, I just skimmed over it.
Anything from T.I.T.S is made up. Almost everything from twitter, at that.
No, that would at least make him entertaining in a way.
You know we still do in person scouting right?

And that's what worries me with lange and frank. We're not a small provincial team like brondby. We're a big club. Tbh I think there will be massive changes in the summer.
Yeah of course but there’s less onus on actual scouts going to watch players regularly.
Oi , Cunto , explain this
——————————
He explained that they entered the window with a plan for signings, but having seven players injured in January meant that their planning and activity was affected and that this situation changed things over the course of the window.
——————————-
So we had a plan then lost players through injury which changed the plan to getting no one in !?!?

My favourite section of that video was when Air Force One landed on High Road and Lange got caught up in a complicated plot involving terrorists trying to hijack the plane and cause worldwide choas.
Of course the more thrilling part was when Lange jumped in front of a bullet for the president and the slug got embedded in the lego he keeps in his breast pocket as a proud Dane, then dropkicked the terrorist off the skywalk, saying "that's another outgoing transfer in the January window".
Can't believe he saved Trump. FFS he's such an embarrassment to the club
They're an odd looking bunch. it's as though Picasso painted some characters watching a football match.
If Lange really did say that;
“If you stick your hand out of the window for long enough, a beautiful butterfly will eventually land on it.”
I didn't watch his whole 'interview' so don't know but if that's his analogy for finding suitable players he needs to be sacked, we don't want the DOF sitting with his hand out the window hoping for a butterfly to land, we want him gayfully searching the meadows skipping from shrub to shrub wielding his butterfly net.
