Thanks to whoever posted about whoscored.com. It is an amazing resource and I have just lost a couple of hours of my life I wont get back. As the title suggests I don't think statistics are everything but they do sometimes help me make sense of a game I have watched and don't understand the outcome.
So after our, so far, pretty awful season it was quite surprising to see that we have the 6th best poss % in the league, 3rd best aggression (not sure that's so great), 5th best ariel duels won, 4th best shots per game, 3rd best passing accuracy and we are ranked 11th for overall ratings. Not what you would expect from a team flirting with relegation.
If we put out our team with the best ratings ignoring loanees who have gone back we would play (rating position) Walton(2), j. Bennett(5), Dunk(1), Greer(3), Inigo(7), Ince(9), Holla(13), Bruno(11), JFC(12), Joe Tex(4), KLL(6), March(14). Sorry about our forward but they scored Baldock(18), COG(25) and CMS(27).
With regard to Jake he has made 24 apps (Stockdale 25 has made more), his pass sucess is 82.3%, his average rating is 6.8 (12th in squad, 10th without returned loanees) AND HE IS 20 YEARS OLD. Ok I know you will say 'it's not difficult passing 80% if they are all backwards and sideways'. Anyway as the title says lies, dammed lies and statistics!
