Saints flying high in the stats tables at the halfway stage

Here's some tweets I just posted with the assistance of statistics provided by The Telegraph.


No team has been better at defending set-pieces in the 2014/15 season than #SaintsFC , who have conceded just twice from set-pieces so far.

#SaintsFC have hit the woodwork 9 times so far in the 2014/15 season. Only #MCFC have hit the woodwork more times. They've hit it 11 times.

#SaintsFC have put in more tackles than any other Premier League sides, so far making 441 tackles in the 2014/15 Premier League season.

#SaintsFC defender @Nathaniel_Clyne has made 78 of those tackles, more than any other player in the Premier League this season.

#SaintsFC frontman @GPelle19 has had 59 shots in the 2014/15 season to-date, more than any other Premier League player.

#SaintsFC playmaker Dušan Tadić has put in 119 crosses so far, more than any other Premier League player so far in the 2014/15 season.

No team have dropped less points from winning positions than #SaintsFC, who have dropped just two in the 2014/15 season - against Chelsea.

Onwards and upwards.

 

Some of those are just wow. Impressive indeed.

 

Yes, when Saints scored first on Saturday, the commentator mentioned that we always go on to win the game. First points dropped from that scenario.

 

I have just read these to my son and on the Dusan crosses, he asked how many were successful? Poor Dusan; it'll come back!

 

Yes, the Pelle and Tadic stats actually aren't very flattering when you think about it.
