Are they not? I wouldnt know but i was assuming that the Rooney character is really good and Ryan Taylor one isnt very good. Based on maths i would assume too.

you don't need stats  to know that, however i'll bet raylor stats at left back are up there with most other left backs this season and i'll wager nolan's stats were great for last year.

But, with seven French speaking players in his squad, Alan Pardew has actually banned them speaking the language around the training ground.

If he hears a word of it on the pitches, in the dressing room, round the canteen or even from the table tennis room, the players are fined.

 

Glad we've had a good start. :lol:

I'm not really invested into the argument either way but the only way a machine can accurately reflect the quality of a player is through numbers, so they do have some role. Sewelly is right to be sceptical of them but i disagree that they can only be used to support a commonly held view.

The stats can confirm if you're pass was successful or not and also which direction it went it. They can't tell you if there were better options, how long the player held onto the ball for and so slowed up play, etc.

I feel like Pardew tends to over-use his ability to be a covering midfielder and asks him to drop deep when we need protecting. He's certainly capable of doing it but it's a waste of his talents.

 

If he can do it, then it's incredibly useful for us.  Play in the middle as a distributing midfielder when we need goalsand then join Tiote in breaking up the opposition when we need to kill the game.

 

It might not be the best use of him, but there's a time and a place to make the game flow freely and there's a time to break things up and slow it down.

Looked quiet on Football First's highlights, unlike the dreadful Birtles though who seems despise all things NUFC, Trevor Francis was quite keen on him.  Think he is also a big fan of the Dreamboat, was constantly singing his praises.

 

Really looking forward to the Spurs match, going to be a class midfield battle, Cheik looks back to his best as well.
