Remodez Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Nah its a pointless stat, how could you seriously give an assist to the player who passed to Charlie Adam to score from 60 yds against us for example? Those kind of assists are few and far between, it doesn't really support the argument that assists is a pointless stat. So nearly a 3rd if fabregas assists came from set pieces? That's quite a boost to a state the point is that if your consistently taking set piece as an individual you are likely to have a high assist ratio then if your a player not taking set pieces Not disagreeing with that, you do get a boost. The same way you get a boost to your goal tally when you take penalties. I was addressing your point about most assists being from set pieces.

I should have been specific to the individual. What i meant is that individuals who take set pieces will have higher assist and it doesn't really give an indication of there ability to be creative from open play. Agree re penaltys and I had a lot at it seems this Alex fella has 5 from his tally which isn't bad. Not that any of it speaks to wheather or not he will succeed or fail if we even buy him Edited December 2, 2015 by barak81 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If most of a player's assists is from set pieces then yeah that can be quite deceiving, which is why you don't make straight judgements based solely on stats. 5 isn't bad at all considering Hazard had quite a few penalties himself last season when he scored 19 goals.

Remodez Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Well he got more than 15 assists but in that video about 7 or 8, depending on how picky you want to be, of those were key passes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ForeverCarefree Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 If this lad comes in, who is the make weight? We would be bloated with attacking midfielders if we didn't sell anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skippy Posted December 23, 2015 Author Share Posted December 23, 2015 If this lad comes in, who is the make weight? We would be bloated with attacking midfielders if we didn't sell anyone. Maybe Kenedy and Traore will go out on loan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enigma Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 Maybe Kenedy and Traore will go out on loan. wouldn't like to see either on loan, but if any one of them then kenedy. i think traore should be in the first team squad. i got a feeling teixera could be used as a striker. remy or falcao could leave.

Bobbywoodhogan Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 Is he an attacking mid who plays in the Oscar position? I've completely lost all faith in Oscar and think he should be sold, to inconsistent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Van Butsen Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 I thought he was a striker?Could we perhaps play him/the team like this? o oo o o oo o o oGuus has already said he will play the team to their strengths, not his Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enigma Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 (edited) teixera is a attacking mid i think, maybe a no.10, i really am not sure, but he's a lethal goalscorer so striker is a possible position we could be looking at playing him in. didn't aubayeang play as a winger or attacking mid, but then switched to striker? if so, it's possible we could try the same with teixera.

GhostOfDembaPast Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 If he's not a striker, it seems a bit of a strange signing with all the AMs in the squad. Doesn't look like someone who could lead the line on his own. Players playing to their strengths and youth being given a chance, sounds promising. This is what I'd like to see, personally. (Sub in Fabregas for Oscar/RLC where appropriate) For something very adventurous and different... 2 slight variations of a 3-5-2. Too attacking to be practical, but if they could somehow be made to work, would make for some highly entertaining football, you would think.
