Football analytics is a growing trend in the English game as managers and coaches begin to welcome the number crunchers to the top table having belittled them as an irritant with little real use. In America of course the numbers game has been played for many years and is a huge part of sports of all kinds. Anderson and Sally have begun to apply the American model with this fascinating book which really does change the way you watch the game of football; for the better in my opinion. From the very first chapter and the stats on corners you realise you are reading something which will alter your understanding of how to win football matches. Whether it’s the number of goals scored every season in the top 5 leagues or the argument that 0 goals are actually better than 1 (you’ll have to read to find out why!) every part of this book has something to blow your mind. If only it was a mandatory read for all the Match of the Day pundits!
