Bit rough, no need to be so condescending.

Didn't see the need to play the man there either.

Ease up. Sometimes challenges are mistimed

Left backs are defenders first. Good on him for creating chances but you haven't kept a single clean sheet.

Geeze that's terribly damning for you guys.

So few shots but no clean sheets? Awkward.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Highest % shots scored though. I'll happily bank 5% for the season thanks (dreaming I know)

 

[jod23]

You're not seriously talking up his goals are you? He takes penalties...

Still gotta tuck them away dont you.

Whilst true, Milner and Clyne are tasked with getting forward. With Hendo dropping back between the two CBs.

Hence Clyne and Milner's crazy chance creation stats.

Yes of course, but when other LB's aren't taking penalties, it's silly to use them as a comparison.

Why are blocked shots in the stats?

If it's blocked then it has been effectively defended.

All shots are in the table, whether they were on target and forced a save, blocked by a defender, or off target.

I suppose you're right in that if you're preventing the opposition from taking shots or getting in a position to block them then you can probably argue the defence is doing doing their job. People can draw their own conclusions from what these numbers all mean, I just thought it was an interesting table.

 

[WealstoneRaider]

If Walker had played every game this season he'd probably be leading the chances created stats. But is he the best right back in the league - certainly not. That would be Hector Bellerin

 

[Magma]

i would say sagna but each time i think of him now i can only think of him falling over vs swansea and asking for a free kick after llorente banged it home. so not sagna.

Agreed on Bellerin being the best RB.

 

[moomba]

Really hard to compare fullbacks because there are so many different ways of playing the position. Bellerin seems to be able to do it all, going forward and in defence. It's very rare.

None of ours can do it. Clichy, Zaba, Sagna better defensively. Kolarov better going forward. I really like Maffeo and would like to see him out on loan soon. Angelino more a Kolarov type than a Clichy but think his future might be in the midfield.

We ask a lot of our fullbacks though, suspect we'll never again have one play 38 games in a season.

Clyne is pretty good, just doesn't match up offensively with Bellerin.

 

[moomba]

Clyne's pretty balanced, but maybe a level below offensively and defensively. Milner is an offensive fullback. Moreno, if I had to define his style I'd probably name it "wibble".

The correct term for Moreno you are looking for is "chaos"

Tsk tsk, Jod mate, I think you need to get yourself a copy of Blackadder Goes Fourth and give it a good watch. One of the best comedic series of all time. Only then will you learn what quality comedy is, and what is the wonder of the 'wibble.'

Moomba knows his quality and it shines brightly here.

Sagna the best defensively but Bellerin obliterates him offensively.

So Bellerin overall.

I do rate Blackadder but havent seen it all so missed the wibble reference.

 

[Fryer Tuck]

Wow, that is one misleading graph:


Kinda defeats the purpose if you're not positioning it correctly.

This is the SBS previews (Bless Lucy, she had us 7th!)

Looks like we're paying 7m compensation for not telling a youth player and family of his abnormal heart. Resulting in a 2006 cardiac arrest and subsequent brain damage and has made him severely disabled.
Not our finest hour.

Jesus. That's horrible. Really poor form from Spurs there.
