  1. Interestingly this was the chart posted a year ago when discussing cheick doucoure. Look who else is in the middle bracket. Let me know if I've messed up the posting as this is my first attempt!
  2. In terms of the replacement stumbling block it sounds like they have two very capable mids out on loan who they may be able to recall
  3. Can't see Daniel Levy wrapping up a negotiation this quickly; will start the bidding at £500k
  4. Be interesting to see what happens as Bissouma, Bentancur and Kamara all seem difficult for individuals reasons; guess that's what happens when you are going for top tier players
  5. Juventus have agreed a fee for Vlahovic so I imagine this is as good as done
  6. Look at that passes into penalty area stat though, not interested!!!
  7. But are those attempted passes aesthetically pleasing to the fans? Nah I'm joking, interesting info!
  8. Oh yeah, don't get me wrong, I'm not claiming its a complete statistical analysis, pirlo probably attempted more long passes for example
  9. It's pass accuracy, it's a tangible, measurable metric, what are you even talking about?
  10. According to fbref, bentancur has a pass completion % of 87.7, whereas Andrea Pirlo had 87% in the 11/12 season for juventus which rose to 89% the season after. I don't have the full figures on pass distance but I'm hoping Andrea was also held to account for awful pass accuracy
  11. Apparently Stevie G and Lampard were his idols growing up according to a quote from 2 years ago
  12. Smaller point in this argument is that I'd be happy not to have a key player in our starting XI going to AFCON every 2 years
  13. Hes getting criticised because people made their mind up before the game and don't want to backtrack
  14. Can't help but feel his style may have helped us get a bit more control in the second half against Everton, not a guarantee though at all
  15. Same could be said of locatelli and he's one of the highest rated youngsters in world football, probably why it's not a good idea to judge a player off of one game
  16. Highest rated player on the pitch at half time according to FotMob...
  17. He does have that languid style which I'm sure infuriates people but as long as he is patrolling the correct areas and doing his job it doesn't bother me
  18. Locatelli who is the golden boy is having a bit of a shocker in comparison, to my eyes anyway
  19. I can see someone in the thread is fuming bielsa got outmanaged by Eddie howe
  20. Grealish must've watched that performance tonight and thought 'i used to be the one doing that'
  21. Someone prior has referenced the Ryan Kent example, who is by trade a winger but was played by gerrard in one of the number 10 roles
  22. We should always be able to get £10m+ from the likes of galatasaray/fenerbache for trez too
