I'm not so sure that I'd agree with it being a pointless stat, it does give evidence of a weakness in our play. It certainly points at something that needs addressing

In hindsight, I jumped in a bit quick with my comment, because I agree it draws attention to a weakness in our play. What I really meant was I don't see any real merit in publishing a table showing who would be top after 80 minutes. You don't see atable based on scores at half time,so why one after 80 minutes ?? That was my real point.

Apparantly it is true, but as games last for 90 minutes, it has to be one of the most pointless stats ever.

That is a ridiculous comment, remembering the title of this thread, it is an incredibly important stat. If I was AVB, that stat would give me no choice but to look at my tactical decisions in that part of a match.

To say the stat is pointless is extremely narrow minded, you can only analyse what is available to you, and as a manager, that kind of information is priceless.

I wonder where this came from...

Tottenham manager Andre Villas-Boas has held a meeting with his defenders to discuss ways of preventing the rash of late goals that have cost the club 14 points already this season.



William Gallas, who has been Villas-Boas&#8217;s first-choice centre half this season, said they had to stop panicking at the end of games.

&#8220;We&#8217;ve had a meeting with the manager because we&#8217;ve been conceding late goals and we have to be a little bit more focused, a bit more strong,&#8221; Gallas told talkSPORT.

&#8220;Sometimes maybe we are panicking and we&#8217;ve let goals in. So we&#8217;ve been working very hard and we&#8217;ve had some meetings to look at the video to see what is good and bad, and against Swansea it was good to keep a clean sheet.&#8221;

It was intresting to read that Michael Landrup thinks Bale wouldn't get on in Spain as his style isn't suited to the way they play
