A medium block would be higher up the pitch, a high block nearer still to the opponents’ goal. The meaning is very simple: the ‘block’ part refers to the ranks of players doing the defending and the ‘low’ bit tells us they are doing it deep in their own territory. You will hear this largely in terms of low-block defences - ones that typically sit deep and try to frustrate their opponents. “ Leicester City are running hot right now but if you look at the underlying numbers, I do just wonder whether this form is sustainable.” Likewise, if someone is underperforming, the reality may soon reflect the advanced metrics and lead to an improvement. Put together, they essentially mean a player or team might be performing well but their underlying numbers - their xG, or expected assists, or expected goals against (xGA), or whatever’s most relevant - aren’t actually that good, indicating a level of overperformance which could soon see them found out. If xG feels a little bit passe, these terms are the slightly newer, trendier kid on the block. Underlying numbers and overperformance/underperformance There are, though, a few tactical terms you might hear and have to slightly pretend you know what they mean. Most of you reading this won’t need to have xG explained (though I did speak to a football writer not that long ago who genuinely seemed to think expected goals was essentially a pre-match result prediction, like the pools). Jeff Stelling shared his thoughts over the 'Expected Goals' statistic at the weekend 😡😂 /SP2MgMuuoQ This led to a weird culture war that perhaps reached its peak on Sky’s Soccer Saturday when normally-affable host Jeff Stelling ranted that xG is “absolute nonsense” and “the most useless stat in the history of football”. The proliferation of tactics into the mainstream has meant a whole new set of terms for football fans to try to understand.įor many, the Premier League jumped the shark when the BBC’s Match Of The Day started including expected goals (xG) in its post-match statistics for the 2017-18 season. This is our 2022-23 Premier League glossary. Here, The Athletic explains some of these words and phrases, and offers examples of how they can be correctly used. There are so many terms and expressions used in commentary, analysis and tactical talks by managers, players, pundits and journalists, some of which we nod dutifully along with even though we don’t really know what they mean. The new Premier League season is fast approaching and for those who follow it, this will mean once again being exposed to a language that can at times feel daunting.
