Overview of the Dashboard on Manager
I was struck by how open Mondays night game was, and how there seemed to be so much space when attacking (particularly for Man United, and particularly towards the end of the game). Gary Neville mentioned that the pitch is really big at Old Trafford in his recent biography, and anyone who has been lucky enough tovisit it will tesify it is a large field. This made us want to investigate…. according to this website (though dated in 2007.. gives us an idea): http://soccerlens.com/premier-league-pitch-sizes/3683/ – it’s the second-biggest pitch in the league… in fact, it’s 786 square yards bigger (by area) than White Hart Lane where Tottenham, the defeated team play! Spurs ground is small, close, intimate – probaby more theatre than the Theatre of Dreams. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that United tend to drop off rather than press when they’re not in posession, and are so effective on the counter-attack using all that space with quick decisive, youthful, direct attacking soccer.
Soccer Standards?
And this to a US sports coach may seem odd, where standard field sizes are more defined, for example American football fields are a set 360 by 160 feet. Rugby league is played on a field 112-122 by 68 metres. In Rugby Union (yes there are two variants) the field of play on a pitch/field is as near as possible to a maximum of 144m long by 70m wide. In Lacrosse, the field of play is 110 yards (100 m) long and 60 yards (55 m) wide.)
We have released a new version of the Statzpack App, version 2.3 – now available in iTunes. Take a quick tour of the App in this youtube video.
This version allows you to see custom actions in the real time summary and as usual is free of any cost.
Get the update by visiting iTunes or via the App Store on your iPhone or iPad.
Tracking a set of custom stats (or as we refer to them custom actions) allows you to build your own tailored set of stats for your players. Statzpack lets you track a regular set of soccer stats – like goals, free-kicks, corners etc; but you can go further than this and record more performance analysis data. When you add a game on the website you can opt to create your own set of custom actions. We have built in a set of Default actions, but if you don’t want to track these then that’s no problem. As you add a game just below the soccer field where you select your line-up you will see an option to create a custom set of stats.
You can also make an action set that combines a mixture of default stats and your custom actions – say for example Goal/Attempt on Goal/Free-kick & Custom #1/Custom 2. Make sure when add a set that you include Goal if you want to keep a score, or Substitute if you need to field different players.
You choose the soccer stats coach
If you opt to add a new set of actions select the ‘Create New Set’ button. We’ve added a new set called Evaluation. When you add a new set, you also be able to see every other custom stat statzpack users have added (Pre Defined Custom Actions) .

What’s the difference between a direct and indirect free kick? How many strikers are in a 4-4-2 formation? And what’s this “injury time” business all about? Before you start tracking stats on your iPad.. .. ..
Against the run of play: When one team scores after launching a counterattack soon after it regains possession of the ball, that team is said to have scored “against the run of play.”
Attacking third: The third of the field where one team is trying to score on the opposing team’s goal.
Bicycle kick: A shot on goal taken by a player who has his back to the net and kicks the ball while both of his feet are in the air.
Booking: A term used to indicate when the referee has cautioned a player with a yellow or red card. A player is said to have been “booked.” Also known as a caution.
Cap: A recognition earned by a player whenever he plays in an international game for his country. A player becomes “capped” each time he plays for his country.
Caught in possession: A player who doesn’t move forward with the ball or passes to a teammate after receiving the ball, and who is then tackled by an opponent is said to have been “caught in possession.”
Caught square: When a through ball has beaten two or more opposing defenders because they were positioned square to one another (in a straight line across the field parallel to the goal-line) they are said to have been “caught square.”
Chip pass: A pass lofted into the air from one player to a teammate. Used primarily to elude a defender by kicking the ball over his head.
From time to time when we talk to new customers and partners, we are often asked ‘so who uses yur product?’ or ‘where are your customers at?’. When we were asked this last week by a new user in the mid west of the USA we decided to actually take a few minutes to list it out. Well we all know that soccer is the truly global game, and the internet has no bounds so it really be no surprise (but it was..) to see that we have customers in the following countries: USA, UK, Ireland, Canada, Turkey, Spain, Netherlands, Sweden, India, Italy, South Africa, Malta, Cyprus, New Zealand, Malta, Australia and Malaysia.
Global Soccer App
We have users who are high school teachers, semi-pro coaches, professional analysts, parents, even international scouts using our product. What amazes us and equally motivates us a company is the enthusiasm of the soccer coach – wherever they are, or whatever age group or level they are coaching and we try to plough that right back into our products.
If you’re a Statzpack user you can help spread the word and by making referrals you can get extra free time added to your subscription, check it out here. Hello world. Greetings Statzpackers 
Just to let you know that we have made some refinements to the Matrix Report function. We improved the capability to define what actions you want to list and the export function to Excel lays out the data in two distinct sheets. To take a look, log into the website and select the Analysis Tab, and then Matrix Report. Once again these changes were guided by feedback from our users and if you have any ideas let us know. For example we are currently looking at the capability to allow coaches to complete player/team evaluations on the website, is this something that as a coach you desire? If it is – tell us.
Here is a sample of the look excel output.
They say that women are better multi-taskers than men but when it comes to recording stats during a game it’s vital to cut down the number of tasks regardless of gender! Many people who start to use Statzpack for the first time tell us, ‘I really found it hard to record the stats and watch the game’. Well that’s probably because you can’t do both at the same time. You’ll certainly find it hard to cheer on your team and record meaningful accurate stats. Even more difficult if you are actually coaching or one of the team is your child J. It’s important to create for yourself an ‘observation environment’ away from vocal crowds or from your buddies chatting about the night before. Ideally you should have one person with you who is tuned in the game and will help you with game info during the match. Arrive early so you do not get stuck sitting in a row where you have to let people in and out past you or in a place where your view can be obstructed. And if needed where a hat that says ‘Do not disturb’ on the front. Or even as one user from Vancouver, Canada told us ‘It’s easy, I just sit up on the bench, away from the guys, plug in my earphones, kick into Bruce Springsteen, watch the game, and record the stats.’ Good idea, just watch the battery level on the iPod touch!
