Greg Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Manages to find the area where nobody is 90% of the time. Has created as many chances as your mate Shelvey this season if a 3rd party, untrusted article is to believed. Is a chance created classed as any ball hoyed into the area though? No doubt. No. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Either way the quality of the ball can sometimes determine what happens with the finish, I remember Sissoko being top 3 in the league for chances created last season, enough said.

Figures 1-0 Football Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Chance created is a pass made that leads to an attempt at goal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sissoko does create chances though. Only saw a bit of the game last night but in that bit he put a cross in for a goal, think it was deflected and the run and pass that led to Kane's penalty Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 According to Ritchie, he plays better as a winger.. Isn't that where he's being played? I know he drifts inside a lot but I assumed that was because he's not got loads of pace to be bombing past the full backs on the outside. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suspect he just has different brief/set of instructions than he prefers/has previously thrived on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suspect he just has different brief/set of instructions than he prefers/has previously thrived on. I think that's more to do with the manager's set up. Bournemouth under Howe were very much a pressing team who pushed high up the pitch, whereas Rafa is more about keeping a solid shape defensively and waiting for an opening. I still think Ritchie will look a lot better when he can work with a pacy full back who can overlap. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

U2 Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Dunno why my phone omitted the word "not" from that. Kind of how Ritchie omits any attacking threat from our game when on the ball out wide. He's too slow. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lotus Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 He's put in some decent crosses from the left before. Looks easy to defend against if you're a LB though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

afar Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Just an average player. We thought we had swapped like for like with Townsend, but on this evidence Ritchie is not even close to the player we had. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
