"Analytics are just stats"

European football has some of the worst 'old school' analysts.  There's basically zero insight other than 1 team is doing well and the other is not and unfortunately they still do most of the commentary, especially in the UK.

"They just lack energy today" - if they're losing
"They're really up for it" - if they're winning 
"The finishing is poor" / "They just lack cutting edge" - because the ball didn't bounce in that day
"OOO what amazing technique" - when the 1 out of 25 long shots blasted as hard possible by the DM goes in
"That's just down to individual mistakes" - whenever they want to excuse the team of playing poor defense
"Too much backwards passing" - when they don't appreciate possession play
"Wonderful flowing move" - when they appreciate possession play
"Master of the dark arts / smart professional foul" - when someone they like cheats
"Cynical play / play acting" - when someone they don't like cheats
"Just parking the bus" - if they don't like team
"Wonderful counter-attacking" - if they do like the team
