He headed away today from a set play.

Opta same same definition for heat map, but I can't get the link now.

elampiro:


Have they not scored the same number of goals? One plays for a big team and another for a small team. Both play far from goal.

How many penalties have Vaardy scored and how many has Lukaku scored?

Opta same same definition for heat map, but I can't get the link now.

Are you saying if for example a player is on the field but did not touch the ball, he would not have a heat map?

eph12:
elampiro everybody knows Lukaku does not have Salah's speed or footwork. It was not there before, so it's not the case of if he has lost it. He has his strengths which would have been more pronounced if the team has been attacking well. He has been doing very well and he has shown great desire to be better.

Firmino is the striker in that team, with all the attacking tactics, he does not have more goals or assists than Lukaku.

The Firmino's example is the reason you guys should not have argued that Lukaku would have scored same goals as Salah, Kane and Aguero if he played in same attacking set up.

I guess that is the case from the definition given.

Heat map is the position a player takes up during a match.

That is not opta's definition. I saw it before but cant get the link. It is just like Sqwuaka. It indicates where a player used the ball most in a match.

That was the definition.

elampiro:

Firmino is not as good as Lukaku and he isnt even close but he is having good numbers because Klopp plays them in an attacking set up

Bring the 3 attackers Salah Firmino and Mane to Man Utd to play under Mourinho and see if they will score that much

Now take Martial Sanchez and Lukaku to Klopp and see if they wont score more than that

elampiro:


The Firmino's example is the reason you guys should not have argued that Lukaku would have scored same goals as Salah, Kane and Aguero if he played in same attacking set up.

That argument is valid because he had a very good scoring record before he joined this team

elampiro:
Vardy has same number of goals as Lukaku

So why is Vardy not scoring like Salah since you want Lukaku to score and dribble like Salah?

Can Vardy dribble and score like Salah too?

elampiro:


The Firmino's example is the reason you guys should not have argued that Lukaku would have scored same goals as Salah, Kane and Aguero if he played in same attacking set up.

I don't know about same goals but he will be around the 20 goals mark by now

Heat maps have quickly become one of the most fascinating and vital pieces of information in football analytics.

Tracking a player’s movement throughout games is easy enough to do with television cameras but when you see where he has actually been on the pitch throughout the course of 90 minutes, it can tell a whole different story

Heatmap is where the player has ACTUALLY BEEN on the pitch not where he touched the ball
Some players might touch the ball twice or zero times but they will still have heat maps showing where there average position has been

Look at the minutes per goal. Even a certain guy from Brighton is doing better than Lukaku

Thats what I believe too

You are wrong. That is not the definition

elampiro:

That player is Glen Murray and he has scored 4 penalties which will improve your minute per goal

elampiro:


You are wrong. That is not the definition

That is from squaawka site maybe squawka is wrong then

elampiro:

You are right.

raumdeuter:

I have given you a complete list of Sqwuaka events definition, but you went to pull out an article where they might not pay attention to terms used. Check the link I gave you

elampiro:

Is there by chance any penalty there?

elampiro:


The most straightforward answer comes from data provider Opta themselves.

The Opta heat map shows the location of a player’s ball touches on the pitch. The more intense the color, the greater the number of touches the player had in that area of the pitch
For these heat maps, color intensity goes from blue (few touches of the ball) to red (many touches of the ball).

Key word there: opta heat map

And opta is the standard for football stats. The heatmap Raumdeuter displayed were sourced from opta by whoscored.

Also squawka has same definition as opta

I don't know, but are penalties not goals? No be who sabi play ball dem dey give penalty? You don ever see where dem minus penalties from Ronaldo goals?

elampiro:

Scoring penalties is not a sign of a players sharpness in front of goal. No team will go sign a player because he can play penalties

Milijovevic of Crystal Palace has scored 6 penalties, if you are looking for a goal scorer will you go and sign him?

elampiro:


I don't know, but are penalties not goals? No be who sabi play ball dem dey give penalty? You don ever see where dem minus penalties from Ronaldo goals?

No dey fall my hands abeg. When Van P came to Old Trafford he took over penalty duties from Rooney. But as you don talk Rooney no sabi ball na why
