Super impressive by him. What’s interesting is that out of our main four mids is that he’s the lowest of the four with centre clearances per cba with 10.1%. Behind Worps (16.3%), Duke (13.9%) and Nash (11.0%).Champion Data segment on SEN this afternoon had this little snippet of data: when Will Day attends centre bounces we are 54 ahead in clearance wins, the seventh best result Champion Data has ever recorded for a midfielder.
I think what he does so well is help us convert first possessions to clearances as well as limit opposition clearances through his positioning and pressure. He also always draws a man as he’s so dangerous if left unattended which limits his direct opponent getting clearances.
