About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
The insider account of the data revolution that has swept through the modern football world written by one of its key architects, Ian Graham.
Between 2012 and 2023, Ian Graham worked as Liverpool FC's Director of Research. His tenure coincided with the club’s greatest period of success since the 1980s, including winning the Premier League in 2020 – Liverpool’s first league title after an agonising 29 years.
Here for the first time, Graham reveals the fascinating data that informed some of the club’s most pivotal moments of the past decade, from the appointment of Jurgen Klopp as manager in 2015 to the signing of Mohamed Salah in 2017. Along the way, he shares groundbreaking insight into the modern game, including how a season largely played behind closed doors transformed our understanding of a home-side advantage, or why the GOAT (greatest of all time) might not be who you think. And, in a game that is increasingly dominated by an elite few oil-backed teams, Graham charts a path for the future where a data-savvy underdog will always find their competitive edge.

Fascinating Discussion of Modern Football and How to Understand the use of Data
Fascinating discussion of Modern Football and how to understand the use of data.
Your initial impression might be that this book will just be a hagiography of Liverpool’s success during the Klopp era, however while Liverpool are discussed they’re not the central focus. This book looks at football in a far broader context and analyses the game through a variety of different lenses. Recommended reading for all football fans seeking to enhance their understanding and appreciation of the world game and the principles and ideas that underpin it.

Great if you love statistics
A great insight into the world of statistical analysis in football. Perhaps he pats himself on the back a little too much but overall a fantastic book.

A view of our game now and in the future… great listen
A fantastic book that’s well worth a read/listen. In depth analysis/data that goes beyond what we see and hear in the general public.
