📊 How much of Adam Wharton's forward passing is a result of Oliver Glasner's ideas, and how much is his own doing?
- Comparing his half season at Blackburn in 23/24 to his most recent two at Palace, his rate of vertical, risk taking passes has consistently been high (as in the % of his passes that are this type of action); 79th percentile for prg passes and 100th percentile for through balls in the Championship, never below the 99th percentile in the PL
- Success rates for both have improved this season despite maintaining the same rate of being insanely direct
- His back pass rate has never been higher than the 10th percentile
- Lateral pass rate has always been high, his short/medium pass rate went from median at Blackburn to minimal at Palace
➡️ This reads to me like a player that really wants to go vertically on his own volition, and the current system is perfectly conducive to this mentality. If/when he moves to a higher possession side, I don't think this directness will go away (although it can likely be dampened to rebalance the risk/reward). The lateral + short/med passes are the pass types that high possession side metronomes most commonly make more than other midfielders, and he was somewhere between solid and excellent considering he was a 19 years old the last time his role involved these actions in any significant capacity.
I don't think it is a good idea to sign him and turn him into a possession controller, as he still lacks oop and it would be hiding his best trait... the ability to create what 99.9% can't. If a club is going to spend high 8 figures on him, there should be a plan to allow him to push the risk profile and probably play further up the pitch where these risks carry less downside + have greater impact... think a MØ, Bruno Fernandes type of final 3rd touch center of gravity.

@fc_mossman How much of Wharton’s forward passing is a result of Glasners ideas? Obviously it is something Wharton is known for but my question centers around how much do we think it is his play style vs the instructions or intent of the team system.

@VidusZsombor Elvileg van egy megegyezés az UEFA-val még tavalyról. Hogy ez idénre mennyi veszteséget engedélyezett azt senki nem tudja. De ez brutális szint. Persze a PL-ben más az elszámolási szabály ott nem lesz ilyen magas közel sem.

VVD has made the game look too easy with his laid-back temperament in dangerous situations.
When it doesn’t go right, it looks lazy.
Ask a CB enough questions, and they can look like a bad defender, and this Liverpool team is putting VVD in far more situations than any defender would like.
It's a fine line between confident defending and what can appear to be lazy defending.

A műsor legfontosabb kérdése: Reece James akkor most védő vagy középpályás?!
