You think the stats lie?

Is Lingard also "superb" or do his terrible stats happen to reflect reality in his case?

I believe watching a player gives a far better idea of whether they're playing well than the number of fouls they committed. Maybe that's just me I don't know mate.

By that analysis Gattuso must've been **** but... yanaw.

Stats don't necessarily lie ... but they don't in isolation give the kind of empirical proof that you appear to think they do ...

Jamie Vardy came on after 60 mins for us in Monday night, had 7 touches and scored twice ... statistically that must rank right up there ... but I've seen him play a lot better in some games without scoring.
 
Fred: 25 appearances, 0 goals, 0 assists
Keita: 9 appearances, 1 goals, 1 assists

Fred is lucky he gets to play Brugge and Astana in the EL otherwise he'd have no goal contributions at all.

Yeah cos that’s how all players are measured you deformed bog rat.
