    Okay, I'll bite. This is of interest why ? We have one good tackler while the Wolves have 3 ?

    Isn't that the Diame we 'wasted' 5 mill on all that time ago?

    Think he's an underrated player that looks better playing with Ki than Shelvey. Some of the passes he was doing last season weren't just to do with form either, there's some talent in there. My ****ing god he can still do some ******ed **** though and that's probably why he's scapegoated. See him trip himself up on weekend trying some kind of backheel?

    This was my thought also. He makes that many tackles because we don't have the ball.

    Hes a very VERY average player who does get a lot of stick, rightly or wrongly.

    He cannot pass for **** though!

    You'd usually expect to see midfield players in these lists, but that young full back at Palace is second.
    As for Diame, were they tackles, or did he just get in the way?

    Does that number only relate to "legal" tackles, or does that include fouls as well?
