cubaricho Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 Really surprised Butt made it onto the pass percentage top five - only one outside of the top four (no pun intended) as well! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 Gael Clichy 2nd - that's immense for a full-back. Very underrated player, him (thought that before these stats, obviously.) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 Really surprised Butt made it onto the pass percentage top five - only one outside of the top four (no pun intended) as well! Nah, he is top 5 for number of passes only (look at the numbers) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
midds Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 Statistics are great. If a bloke stuck his head in an oven and his feet in a freezer, on average he'd be comfortable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keefaz Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 Think Nicky Butt comes out of those looking pretty good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mowen Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 Roy Carroll 2.71 Stephen Bywater 2.28 Shay Given 1.95 I assume this stat is goals conceded per game... doesn't quite tally up with Shay conceding one every 44 minutes if so....... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 It's not half impressing completing 86% of your passes over an entire season, but it's probably more impressive that Clichy is almost up there as a full-back. Going to be a head-ache choosing between him, Abidal and Evra who plays LB for France in the summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd go for Evra, like, as I think he's brilliant. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd go for Evra, like, as I think he's brilliant. I rate them all as the worlds best left back, I couldn't chose between them. Probably go for Abidal against the better teams, as he's slightly more defensive than Evra and Clichy, and either of the two against the lesser ones. It's three-way coin toss though tbh.

Thespence Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 I gave up on the passing stats when I saw David Batty was at or near the top a few years back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest nufc_geordie Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 Roy Carroll 2.71 Stephen Bywater 2.28 Shay Given 1.95 I assume this stat is goals conceded per game... doesn't quite tally up with Shay conceding one every 44 minutes if so....... Goals per game is calculated on number of appearances made. Goals per minute is worked out on the total number of minutes played, hence if you are substituted this stat changes whereas your number of appearances stays the same.

Guest teepee Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 passing accuracy will always be higher when a team plays less direct a la arsenel. but also like what we've done with the 4-3-3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
