What kind of team do you think Ten Hag is trying to build from a tactical perspective? What aspects reflect Pep's City or Klopp's Liverpool, or is it another superteam in recent times?

Hi Pauly, really appreciate your works! Could you please share your thoughts on how data analysis has changed football for the last decade and how it will continue to change football? Do you think all play styles will still be viable for a top team and it's all cyclical (dependent on how youth players are developed), or data analysis will continue to steer the game towards an optimal play style (similar to how chess engines help the best chess players)?

Also taking this chance I want to ask something a bit more personal: inspired by your work for the last couple years I have developed a sort of pipe dream of becoming a data analyst for man utd one day. Could you talk more about your background, how you started out, and how do you think I can go about achieving my goal?

As this current squad is getting a bit old and has some holes in it, what do the next 4 transfer windows look like to United, assuming ETH keeps his job during that time.

Hi. Could you talk about what you think the plan is for how ETH wants this team to play. Not necessarily the style, but in terms of profiles he wants. United seem to be moving from one profile to another. From FDJ to Casemiro, from wanting De Gea to stay to wanting a new goalkeeper. Thank you

I think Casemiro was a big reason we finished 3rd + won the league cup. Given his performances, would you say he was a good signing despite his age + fees?
