VILLAMARV Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Before West Brom game 39 league games 2 goals 6 assists Since West Brom 3 games 0 goals 3 assists.

How many assists has he got again?? oh great so he hasnt scored, although he nearly did against newcastle, and he has 3 assists (which by the way has to be one of the most useless statistics in football). yep... he's a worldy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted February 6, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted February 6, 2013 Cant fault the way he's been playing lately. Think he has the ability to keep us up. I hate it when people bring stats into everything. Seems to be happening a lot on here lately. Football is just as much about what you do off the ball as it is to what you do on the ball and there's no stats for that. I watch football with my eyes, and I can see when someone is playing well and when someone is not. And lately, N'zogbia has been playing especially well. Long may it continue.

Keyblade Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 So setting up goals is useless? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KjParton Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Ah yes. If he hadn't have set up the goals he did, we'd be even more worse off than we are now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Burgundy Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 So setting up goals is useless? The majority of the time its simply a completed pass though. Against Albion he passed the ball to GA who scored. Wow. 'Assists' are too much of a broad statistic. You need to analyse it in more depth.

Papillon Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Wow that is naive. Assists are a very, very describing statistic of players like Charles N'Zogbia and I am bewildered how some can doubt it. Sure a few assists are rebounds from shots and just easy play-throughs, but at least he was there to do it. Over time the assist tally will say something about a player's ability to contribute in attack and yes, I would like a guy who could chip in with 15 direct assists every season even though they were just "easy" passes to an open player in front of goal. An attacking midfielder with very few assists during a season is not contributing like he should. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 What about his assist for Benteke's first? Went through 3 players before putting him through. His assist for Gabby's against West Brom was similar. He gets into good attacking positions which is why he's popping up with assists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonLax Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 (edited) "Assists" is a bit misleading though. You can beat 3 players and play a perfect cross right onto the foot of a striker who then falls on his arse and kicks the ball into the stands. That doesn't count as an assist. Meanwhile, you can have a defenders clearence bounce off the back of your head and into the path of a striker who scores and that does count. I think the "chances created" is a much better way of looking at the contrabution of a midfielder. Edited February 7, 2013 by LondonLax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
