Guest Nappy Rash Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 Shots on goal - 280 (rank 20th) Passes - 11799 (rank 14th) Pass % - 66% (rank 15th) Cross % - 19% (rank 20th) But its a myth they play shit, route one football, because erm, Chelsea and Liverpool play similarly (yes shite) Allardyce is obsessed with statistics and he knows that if you put enough balls in the box you're likely to score, just as we all know most goals are scored with 2 passes or less. Thats why it comes as no surprise, despite having the worst number of attempts in the league, they're 10th in goals scored. I cant wait Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest smoggeordie Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 Be happy? What and start pretending they play good football because they play in a similar fashion to two big clubs What's more important? Attractive or effective football? Anyway, from what i've seen of Bolton their "long ball" tactics have dramatically decreased over the past two seasons. They now have some very good players.

Speed, Nolan, Gardener, Diouf, Anelkam Ben Haim, Campo, Giannakopolous, Davies are all s****? Ok,not shit just average Didnt we get rid of Speed for being too old?,i have to say his peformence this season was better then all of our midfield combined None of those players is actually world class or top 4 standerd, we have like 4 or 5 players who can make it in a top 4 team..let alone some of the others "were" really decent Its the fact that our manager(s) failed to get the best (or at least 50% of what they used to be) out of them that made us fail , ffs Luque was CLASS before he came to us, he was a major hit in Depor and now Roeder refuses to even give him 10 decent mins in a game..He wanted Duff to play on even though he had a season ending injury I am sure all the players you just mentioned are average (Campo is in that list ffs) its just that Allardyce managed to get, Anelka aside, it was actually Allardyce that managed to get a 100% out of them, just like David Moyes Everton are 5th even though they have the likes of Alan Stubbs and Lee Carsley playing every single game, its not that they are good footballers,its just that their manager knows how to get a 110% out of them.
