In today’s football world, the debate between "the eye test" and data-driven analysis is more relevant than ever.

Can the eye test reveal nuances that data might miss, or has the role of instinct been diminished by numbers? In this episode, we’ll explore the history, relevance, and future of the eye test and its balance with data in football. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
