Podcast AI UNDER PRESSURE: Factory Reset

Darth is joined by Dr Barts and Hamzah to break down Liverpool’s three most recent home games against Crystal Palace, Aston Villa and Real Madrid.

They start with Palace and discuss selection reflections and why sometimes the simplest explanation is the right one. The focus then turns to Aston Villa, where Liverpool may have found a much-needed reset. The team dissect the data with a full review of possession, xG, XT, EPV, shots, pressures and Monte Carlo models while exploring Villa’s direct approach and how Liverpool adapted. It is also the return of Mac Allister to his very best.

The conversation then moves to the Real Madrid game under Xabi Alonso, featuring another detailed stats review and a closer look at Liverpool’s growing defensive strength. The panel also analyse an exciting new passing network and standout performances from Bradley, Wirtz and Szoboszlai.
