Description
In this episode, The Athletic’s Michael Cox, Mark Carey and Liam Tharme join Ali Maxwell to talk about why this Premier League season has had an unbelievable number of goals. The number of goals being scored in the top division of English men’s football is at its highest rate since the 1960s. But what has caused this? Are goalkeepers not as good as they used to be at keeping the ball out of the net? What has VAR done to the game in the context of goals given or denied? And are players shooting more and better?  This and much, much more on the final Tactics podcast of the 23/24 season. Hosted by: Ali Maxwell With: Michael Cox, Mark Carey & Liam Tharme  Produced by: Steve Hankey Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
