Introduction to Daily Palace Podcast
00:00:09
Global Sports Podcast Network
Hello and welcome to the Daily Palace podcast brought to you by the Global Sports Podcast Network, which you just heard from that lovely intro. I am that your host today, Dan Tanner, and I am joined by our lovely regulars on this podcast of Alex Wake. How are you doing, mate?
00:00:32
Alex
Hey, Dan. Yeah, well, good. Thanks, man. Just yeah enjoying all the football that's going on at the moment. just There's a lot, but it's the right amount and it feels like, especially with another international break coming up. I'm just yeah trying to enjoy it as much as I can.
Sutton's FA Cup Match Recap
00:00:48
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, well, it helps when we're actually winning for a change, so that that always helps. We've got international break and then after the after Christmas we've got the FA Cup run, so which by the way, for the local listeners, we had Sutton on the telly last week, on the weekend. Unfortunately to go out to Birmingham, but it's it's the FA Cup first round, so good luck on them. And we're also joined today with Wale Pakari. How are you doing?
00:01:18
Wale Bakare
I'm fine, Dan. I'm fine, Alex. Great to be on the put tonight, gearing up for some interesting games in the Champions League tonight, by the way. um um I'm really not sure which one I'm seeing.
00:01:32
Wale Bakare
There's the Madrid Milan game, and then there's Liverpool by a level accusing.
00:01:34
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, they are. The Liverpool labour cruiser one could be interesting because that's a Zabi's club, isn't it? Alonzo, your old
00:01:36
Wale Bakare
There's a couple of other good games, actually. Maybe UEFA was right about their plans for the Champions League, just maybe.
00:01:45
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah they are the liverpool labor cruiser one could be interesting cause that's a ah ah zabby car isn't it alonzo your old i get oh Player and especially a neighbor cruise and being did really well last year.
00:01:58
Global Sports Podcast Network
So what the undefeated bar one wasn't it?
00:02:02
Wale Bakare
Yeah,
Unpacking Football Statistics
00:02:02
Wale Bakare
I think it was just the Europa League final.
00:02:02
Global Sports Podcast Network
They lost the euro So yeah, they could be fun but carrying on from that we are going to be talking everything football as always so in today's episode we are going to talk about our football stats getting a little bit convoluted and a little bit silly as it was a
00:02:04
Wale Bakare
yeah
00:02:22
Global Sports Podcast Network
discovered or somewhat during the Sky Sports report the other day, that Mateta is the highest shot conversion player in the Premier League in the last decade. So we're going to have a little chat on that. I'll get to how that actually works out later. And on that same vein, the criticisms of some of our players, particularly the attacking quartet,
00:02:51
Global Sports Podcast Network
Are those criticisms warranted or are they just being sort of overblown to but out of proportion? And to finish up, we're going to be talking about the rumoured sale of Texas stock at Palace. Will he be finally leaving and getting out of Palace? Because apparently he doesn't want to be here. So this might make it easier for him. So to start off with, as I mentioned earlier, meteta is the most efficient shot converter in premier league in the Premier League over the last decade with a 34.8% success rate. How this is calculated is supposedly over the last 12 seasons with a minimum of 10 goals and 30 appearances. That's how that works out. And just to put that into context, the next one on the list
00:03:49
Global Sports Podcast Network
is Yayatore. So do we think there are so there are football stats that are getting a little bit silly, a little bit convoluted, or are they just trying to fill up spots on the after the pre-match and the post-match interviews? Alex, let's start with you. What do you think of some of these football stats?
00:04:13
Alex
So first of all, Dan, I think the stat you mentioned is quite impressive from a tetter.
00:04:18
Global Sports Podcast Network
It's quite, I'm not taking anything away from Matata, but I just think it's the way that calculated is so weird.
00:04:20
Alex
Yeah.
00:04:23
Alex
it is and I don't know whether like in the last 10 years there's been some amazing strikers right like Aguero, Mo Salah, you know these guys are just absolute world-class players and then to have Mateta sneaking with this stat is like it's really strange like he's a good striker but it ah ah can't You can't put him in the same bracket as those kind of players. No statistic could make him as good as those guys. So yeah, I think you do have to take these stats with a pinch of salt. like They are part of the modern game and obviously teams use them, pundits use them. Match of the Day is now stacked with statistics. Even when you're watching the highlights, they bring them up.
00:05:10
Alex
For me personally, I find some of them just a bit pointless. like For instance, like running stats. I don't really care if someone's covered seven kilometers in a match. like You can tell if someone's doing the work or not just by watching a game. right So some of it is a bit pointless, I find.
00:05:29
Alex
On the other hand, I don't mind things like XG. I think they' that's quite a good stat to use. I think that shows like generally the balance of play, which is quite good.
00:05:41
Alex
But yeah, like i'm I'm sort of in the middle, I would say, like some of it is too much and I don't think have necessarily have a place, whereas others, or I think some of them are like better used for the clubs rather than the fans, right? And then others I do find quite interesting. Just on that, shot conversion rate, I actually had a look at last season.
00:06:02
Alex
And you guys can maybe have a guess. So another Palace player was sixth in the chart for last season's shot conversion rate. Do you want to you wanna have a guess who it was?
00:06:13
Global Sports Podcast Network
conversion rates so converting
00:06:15
Wale Bakare
for yeah fishlop
00:06:17
Alex
Yeah, you see you've seen the table, haven't you, Ali?
00:06:18
Global Sports Podcast Network
That's a good shout.
00:06:19
Wale Bakare
No, I haven't.
00:06:20
Alex
That's cheating, man.
00:06:22
Wale Bakare
I just know you it has to be something very ridiculous.
00:06:25
Global Sports Podcast Network
Somebody very weird.
00:06:25
Alex
Yeah, no, it was Jeffrey Schluff. Yeah, he was sixth.
00:06:29
Alex
and Yeah, he scored two goals. And I think he had like 37% conversion rate, which yeah, and then second on the list was Ben White from us. So if yeah, if you think stats have got out of hand yet, there's your evidence right there, I would say.
00:06:47
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah they're just oh I think they are getting very very silly now i they've been very very Americanized sort of the things that they will bring up and it's just some of the ones in America are really really weird like they've brought up I think one stat like how many kids certain quarterbacks have had and like does that I know it doesn't it doesn't matter in the slightest so uh well hey uh do you have any views on the overuse of stats or underuse depending on which side of the fence you want to go on.
The Impact of Statistics Beyond Football
00:07:17
Wale Bakare
Well, first of all, to be honest, it's not just football. It's in a lot of you know aspects of life these days. Starts everywhere. you know People comparing how much social media is used in countries, how much money is made. Even in your in in many workplaces now, there's a lot of interesting stats coming out. How many hours you spend at work,
00:07:43
Wale Bakare
what do you do, then there's always questions about about the quality of the work. you know So unfortunately you might not find that you know in the numbers sometimes, but but that that that has been that's always been you know there's always been the the fight between you know qualitative and quantitative analysis.
00:08:07
Wale Bakare
Yeah, at the moment, there's a lot of, you know, quantitative analysis going on in football. A lot of numbers being, you know, put against each other. um um you know Alex was just mentioning the Jefferschlop thing. I just knew it had to be something very ridiculous. You know, maybe it had five shots all season, it's got three goals, and then it's the best striker. But we know who the best striker is. So, yeah, that there's quite a number of
00:08:35
Wale Bakare
You know, if you wait and say, as stats done, you know, more good than bad, you would argue maybe it's done more good. I'm sure the clubs are using it, you know, as as good education for the club, the managers, even the players, you know, you can kind of measure where your weaknesses, where you convert your chances most, where you need to work on.
00:08:59
Wale Bakare
Although if you talk to some footballers, they'll tell you, you know, there's so many things because I always say that there's a lot of things that need to align. For example, when you look at a striker, there's so many things that needs to align, you know, to bury a chance. I was watching the Liverpool Brighton game the other day.
00:09:16
Wale Bakare
And Mo Salah was one-on-one with the goalkeeper. Nine times out of ten is bearing that. But no, it didn't. But then it's got the more difficult chance. I don't know, so many players, you know, miss the easiest chance, but score the more difficult chances. You know, so it just rubbish it starts at those moments. But but it's it's very important. it's It's proved to be a very important tool for clubs and for players and for businesses.
Media's Use of Statistics
00:09:40
Wale Bakare
And, you know, and the media particularly starts starts ah widened the content base, so to speak. There's more to talk about now. You watch a lot of ah you you know sports programs. you You guys talk about the American sports programs. that They're the worst, honestly. you know And they just bring up anything. And some of them you find interesting. interesting To be honest, i I use
00:10:09
Wale Bakare
I use some of the things I see on, you know, FPL starts for my fantasy Premier League. And then some weekends I'm like, who told me to be display as we came up with these numbers. But then sometimes you just you just get it right. so They will guide you, but it wouldn't definitely tell you you what to expect. However, it gives you a better chance at understanding what to expect. And that that's just what it has been, not just in football, in many aspects of life. But there's so many things these days that you understand better when you put numbers together. Sometimes you you will.
00:10:51
Wale Bakare
Of course, naturally, you will hear ridiculous starts come up sometimes. There was a lot said the other week about, was a meek event ah and ven oh it how he was maybe the fastest in the Premier League. I'm sure he knows he's not the fastest in the Premier League, you know. So, these these are all sorts of things. So many things have been said about Kyle Walker. We saw him against Adam Atrare the other day, you know. So, you there are times when you just,
00:11:20
Wale Bakare
feel maybe the stats don't tell the old story but then they do tell the old story you know sometimes it's quite ridiculous sometimes but it's been a great addition to football and you know many aspects of life to be honest.
00:11:35
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, that was a very, very well put together argument there, wasn't it? very much the same kind of thing. they are All these stats are useful. they put Numbers put make things put into like consent circles and sort of things, ideas and stuff, and you can actually prove it. I think they're really good for the training and the analysis for sort of like scouting purposes or whatever.
00:11:59
Global Sports Podcast Network
But I think some of them, like the ones we're bringing up here, that bought up there's the intention for Mateta here, I think some of them are just a little bit convoluted and are just there to either fill up some very vague spot somewhere to either answer are very quite a question that nobody actually asked. Because we know, as we say, like Mateta is a good center forward. like You're not going to have a problem with him.
00:12:26
Global Sports Podcast Network
but Holland is one of the world's best players and he's like fourth on the list. And it's like, what? that These stats don't tell the whole story. They are good for very, very small bits of history or bits of sort of information at a very particular time. But I think we're all largely in agreement that they do have their uses, but I think some of them are kind of convoluted and don't need to be around.

Criticism of Palace's Attackers
00:13:37
Global Sports Podcast Network
All right, and we are back. So on that note of talking about statistics, et cetera, and one of them being our great center forward, we are now gonna talk about some of the, is the criticism of our attacking
00:13:53
Global Sports Podcast Network
players warranted as over the last couple of weeks, players like Inketia, Eze, Sa, have had a bit of stick thrown at them for not being as sort of effective or as efficient as they could be. So do we think this is warranted?
00:14:15
Global Sports Podcast Network
this Or is it just being overreactive and that it's just Journalists being journalists, really. Wai, what do you think?
00:14:26
Wale Bakare
Well, unfortunately, I'm going to have to go back to stats. When you put the numbers side by side, 10 games into the season, eight goals. Interestingly, last season after 10 games, Palace had eight goals as well. And last season, before Roy Orton left,
00:14:51
Wale Bakare
was was set to have been, you know, poor out and for the team. So do we say on the basis of that, that, you know, I think that the forward line up and for the season as well, maybe yes.
00:15:05
Wale Bakare
But then you also look at the options available last season. And you look at the options available this season. Yes, or Lisa left, but then
00:15:12
Global Sports Podcast Network
thank you.
00:15:13
Wale Bakare
you could argue there's more numbers up front, you know, Mateta and Katia Aze, um, the statue commander, there's, you know, maybe there's more numbers up front. So maybe when you look at it from that basis as well, you might end up saying maybe they they've not been fantastic this season, but you know, Southampton are the only team that have scored fewer than crystal palace this season uh with seven and that that's not company that you want to keep so maybe just maybe you could argue that uh the criticism is is is understandable is it were rented this early in the season um'm i'm not entirely sure
00:15:46
Global Sports Podcast Network
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:15:53
Wale Bakare
I totally understand you know fans expecting goals. what that's the That's the reason you know for watching football. A lot is made about you know teams defending well, playing well without the ball, avoiding you know avoiding unnecessary goals. but
00:16:10
Global Sports Podcast Network
Well,
00:16:10
Wale Bakare
If you score the most of the goals, you will most likely win the games anyway. So fans go to the stadium to win great attacking play and great goals being scored.
00:16:15
Global Sports Podcast Network
that's kind of
00:16:17
Wale Bakare
So Palace forward line maybe haven't delivered you know what what is expected at that level.
00:16:19
Global Sports Podcast Network
cool.
00:16:24
Wale Bakare
So maybe the criticism is is a bit understandable. But I will say, as as I've said, well, it's still very early in the season, although we are gradually getting to that part where you might not be able to stay still early in the season anymore.
00:16:38
Wale Bakare
There's been some improvement in the team. Two goals against Aston Villa, two goals against Wolverhampton Wanderers, one against Tottenham. That's five in three games. When you you know ah ah do the stats, that's a great return compared to what we've seen.
00:16:58
Wale Bakare
you know So maybe just maybe things are improving. And as I said earlier, you need so many things to align you know for your team to really play well. Just when you know the team is getting in the groove, injury comes into play. Just when you know the the one player is getting feet and another is getting injured. And we see that with a lot of teams. And it's just it tells you how difficult you know the job is for managers and you know for the background staff. you know ah ah So it's ah ah it's a very difficult job for these players. I really think that they will eventually, you know, get better. Palace last season, I think finished, I think about seventh of there, about in terms of goals scored in the league, with ah think 48 or 49 goals they scored.
00:17:45
Wale Bakare
I think the goals will come eventually. Remember also, players like Inketeer joined towards the very end of the transfer window, didn't have you know a preseason with these players. things Then there was the international break after. So it's been a bit of a start-stop stack that stop ah for some of these players. I'm sure they will gel eventually, and the goals will start flowing more as Palace fans expect eventually.
00:18:13
Global Sports Podcast Network
Uh, yeah, I probably agree with that. but Mostly they asked humans, so you can, there's only so, so much criticism that I can take.
00:18:19
Wale Bakare
Bye.
00:18:22
Global Sports Podcast Network
And there is, it's still early, still early. so yeah, there is still time for them to get back into it, but, uh, attackers, you are kind of judged on your scoring and your sort of attacking abilities.
00:18:36
Global Sports Podcast Network
So if you're not doing it, you're going to get criticized and then you're going to get benched. This is how it's worked and will work forever. So I think they are kind of warranted, but is game by game would be appreciated a little bit more.
Palace's Star Player Dependence
00:18:52
Global Sports Podcast Network
That's kind of what I've been going on the basis of. you got any thoughts on the criticism of some of the Palace players? And if you're sort of comfortable with the way that we're playing at the moment, because I know we've got some relatively sort of simple games coming up with
00:19:11
Global Sports Podcast Network
Fulham, Ipswich and Villa again over the next couple of weeks, but we do have Brighton, Liverpool and City like but coming over the hill in December. So yeah, this is going to be a fun winter.
00:19:29
Alex
Yeah, I think the the upcoming games, I think we'll have to stick with the system that that we played the last few games. Glazner's obviously got a bit of a tune out of the the team. I think the main thing that was going wrong was the pressing intensity, which we didn't see in the first few games. And that will obviously cost us. the last few games, that's been amazing.
00:19:51
Alex
Yeah, just the intensity of it has been excellent. And I think that's the difference. And when you play a Fulham at home and an Ipswich, perhaps even Brighton to an extent, you need to use that as much as you can and put players under pressure. It worked against Spurs terrifically well. And Aston Villa away, you know, two really the toughest games you're going to play this season.
00:20:15
Alex
don't know whether you could actually use it against City, for example, because they would just pop the ball around you so easily.
00:20:21
Global Sports Podcast Network
Oh yeah, that they'll just go, nope, we're not having any of that.
00:20:24
Alex
Yes, it's a disaster waiting to happen. So I think Glazna does need a plan B, whatever that is, I don't know. But I think the three, four, three system that he's using is is working. Just quickly on the attackers as well, like We've had a game and a half roughly now without Eze and scored three goals. So it's it's just just funny, really, that our best player is out and we're but scoring more goals without him. And I i think that's something that perhaps has to be addressed by Glazner. Are we relying too much on Eze for the build-up play? Is he slowing the game down? I'm not singling him out for criticism because he has been one of our best players. but
00:21:07
Alex
It's just an interesting observation, like there are different ways to win a football match without your star player on the pitch and Palace historically rely on, you know, star players to get over the line. Obviously, Wilf, then Eze, then Elise. So is it now, you know, time to perhaps think of different ways of trying to win football games?
00:21:29
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, oh couldn't agree with you more that we've done that for years having one or two star players and very being very reliant on them. Yes, we've yeah, Wolf Wolf being one and we had like back in the day we had sort of Andy Johnson only he scored the goals, etc, etc. So if we can get it is a team sport and the other guys are going to have thought it's not just a one man army.
00:21:59
Global Sports Podcast Network
So if sort of as they maybe just, I don't know, passes a ball off here and there, or Inketia sort of holds it up, or dummies for somebody else, et cetera, things like that, go a long way. it's But as I was saying earlier, sort of attackers are sort of judged by how many goals they score, or how consistently they do it. So the same way that goalies will get criticized for giving up a goal or sort of not keeping clean sheets. But the difference is attackers are the, they can affect how they score it and things like that. So they have a little bit more of a masters of their own destiny kind of thing. So yeah, it's, criticism is always going to be there. I can't, if you do something wrong, somebody's going to criticize it. It is the 2020s after all. so
00:22:50
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, there's not much you can really do about it, except for, I don't know, score a couple of hat tricks that might shut a few people up. Right, on that, we will take another quick break to thank our lovely network. And then we'll come back and talk about these rumors of Taxnuff possibly selling his share of Palace and we might be getting a new cash injection.

Rumors of New Palace Ownership
00:23:51
Global Sports Podcast Network
Is Tassna finally leaving Palace? So on the weekend, there was a very, very tenduous rumour that there has been a bid or some areas, at least a few interested parties in ah ah get to get shares into into Palace. And as Tassna earlier in the season wanted to get rid of them to get into the Everton board,
00:24:18
Global Sports Podcast Network
his ones seem to be the prime target. So what do we got what do we think of these particular rumours and the potential owners that we have that are coming in? Because depending on which paper or which website you look at, they seem to be slightly different. Alex, as you are the Palace fan here, let's go with you first. What are you thinking of
00:24:43
Alex
Well, first of all, I think it's, yeah, the quicker text that gets out, the better really. I mean, he's been great for us in terms of financing us the last couple of years, but it's obviously not worked out mainly for his own doing, trying to do too much with other clubs as well and not having as much of an interest in Palace. So yeah, the quicker he's gone, the better from my point of view. um But we've got we've got a couple of interested parties, which is good news, which means we're obviously an attractive club. think any team in the Premier League is really. So I think if Texas goes, you won't really feel a big financial hole because someone the valuation is looking around 200 million.
00:25:25
Alex
that's what Texas shares will cost so whoever's going to buy that isn't going to be short of money so we're not going to have any kind of financial pitfalls. But yeah I think to be honest like whoever comes in will have to adapt to kind of Parrish's way of running the club because he is It's an odd ah not odd system where he has the least shareholder, but he is the majority decision maker, which for us as a club is fantastic because he is a fan of the club. But it just depends, like maybe it's someone who's a bit less volatile than Texas that comes in.
00:26:04
Alex
And that would obviously suit us really well. But yeah, i there's I've seen some some weird rumors about some guy who owns something similar to Deliveroo in America is interested in us. I can't remember his name. But yeah, you're always going to get these weird things. When Simon Jordan sold his shares, I remember the under fire P Diddy was interested in buying Palace, I think was just a rumor at the time.
00:26:33
Alex
But just yeah, just
00:26:33
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah i Yeah, I think you probably was a rumor, but probably a lot of stuff around there was. This was the early 2000s, so it was like, oh, we're just going to make stuff up and see what works.
00:26:45
Alex
you're you're always going to get these things when a part of a club is for sale, especially a Premier League club. So until something's over the line, it's just, it's all speculation and the 200 million price tag. It's just gonna, yeah, it's just gonna add to that really, I think.
00:27:00
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah I've seen some evaluations anywhere between the 200 and 230 because I think the evaluation of the club was about 500 million something like that so then you vaguely work out that taxes 45 so 200 to 230 is probably seems to be the benchmark at the moment and the yeah the the potential new owners are varying from yeah a what is it a food delivery entrepreneur billionaire delivery entrepreneur there you go and two investors with the skype banks investment group are also part or one of these ones and i think the news report seemed to say that one of these ones is our palace fans so which is a bit of a boast
00:27:53
Global Sports Podcast Network
I'm not really that bothered if they're a Palace fan or

not. It helps that you can get on board and you'll be a little bit more sort of passionate about it and want the club to succeed, not just for the money. But personally, I'm not that bothered if they're a fan or not. If they've got the money and they can actually keep it going, I'm happy. Well, i you got any thoughts on this or any other news on any of these potential bidders?

Well, you know it's just as you guys said, you know, there's a lot of, you know, stories been mentioned, there's a lot of names I've mentioned, but the the sports band group, of course, is one that, you know, was mentioned a couple of days ago. And ah ah one of the very interesting things is that it was mentioned that, you know, the group is actually quite very um um Upbeat about working with steve parrish they say they love hours how he runs the club and that they're looking at you know that they're very happy to work with him good thing is there is a

a willing seller in Texas. It's a question of you know someone meeting his valuation. It feels like a situation of you know sooner rather than later it will happen. It's just going to try as much as possible to get the most out of his shares. There's been, just as you mentioned, figures from $200 million to $250 million. The expectation is once the club is sold, it would then leave the value of the club at around $500 million.

a pound of verabah but um for for some reason, Texto, I'm sure he understands that after his flirtations with Everton during the summer, there was a very slim chance that it would be you know forgiven at Palace. And And ah too although you you look at it and you think, well, maybe it's just business for him, but For a lot of clubs, the fans expect more than just business. They expect some level of loyalty. Yes, is but but ah but you know is putting some money into the club has made things a bit better in terms of ah you know there was the start the improvement in the stadium and then you know some of the ah some of the purchases that Palace have made. but

fans expect some level of loyalty and you know for for text or is is just about the business for him and He's got plans of getting into another club the Everton deal Of course Everton agreed deal with another group although um um I don't think that has been ratified by the Premier League yet, but I It doesn't look like the Everton deal is gone for him. He's looking at other clubs, but it's just a matter of time, definitely before. He agrees to deal with one group or the other and, you know, Salis shares that palace.

yeah I've been sort of once this news broke being sort of little bits have come out apparently with the sale up the finances from this sale I think he's looking into getting Watford so that could be interesting just go a little duck down to Watford and take up that position get them some a little bit financially secure because they've always been and around being fairly sort of secure and all right they just need to get that next step to get back into the prem I think is what they're after But yeah, we're very much the an agreement that we kind of we have no ill will against Texas, per se. just He wants to leave, so fine. No real issue here.
