BladesPod: Leicester & Chelsea with Blades Analytics

[Beans]

Afternoon all,

Roygbiv is away this week (though I note he hasn't slacked off the Views From - puts in the hard yards, that lad), so I'm very pleased to have Blades Analytics popping back on the pod in his absence to talk about Leicester, Blackburn, Chelsea and the state of the Premier League season generally.

At the end, writer, podcaster and Chelsea fan Ram Srivinas joins me to give a perspective on how the Blues are getting on under Frank Lampard.

Quick timestamps here for you if you want to skip about - thanks as always for listening!

• difference in performance from 1st half to 2nd half (13:03)
• Wilder's post-match comments, and the reaction to them (42:25)
• Blackburn in the cup (49:50)
• Chelsea away (52:40)
• recap of Premier League predictions (57:20)
• Chelsea preview with Ram Srivinas (1:14:35)

As much as I do love Roy on the pod, I must admit I have missed the more statistical analysis that Jay brings to the table.
Excellent listen as always!

Brilliant pod as usual, but Im incensed and up in arms ... its a foul on Egan all day, two arms on his shoulders, foul anywhere on the pitch

Really interesting listen that. My take on the non-foul on Egan is that if the VAR BAR stays where it is this should offer some encouragement to our creative blocking on set-pieces we score from, where any infringement isn’t easily visible or easy to judge the effect.

Thought Ram was a really interesting listen too, very clued up on us, and I hadn’t appreciated that Reece James was always being lined up for a squad place this season regardless of injury.
