The #LUFC Breakfast Debate (Fri 27 Apr)

Work was pissing me off so took a half day and calling in my local, catching up on the posts here and supping Guinness (which I know you think is the spawn of the devil)

 

Fair play London, raining here, any better where you are? Guinness

 

About to piss it down, so trapped in the pub should my wife ring You're still the only Irishman I know (kind of) that doesn't like Guinness

 

.......to be fair London, if needs be and I've no ale let, I have been know to drink that **** from a can...

 

Afternoon Aski. What about Noel Hunt and Cameron Stewart?

 

Afternoon London

 

Good man, don't let a ****e taste stop you from drinking when you need to

 

And a very good afternoon to you Ell.

 

De Bock hasn't impressed me, maybe needs time to settle in.

Tom Pearce looks a far better LB imo!

 

Just got your nym, Becchio Bear, but you'd rather Becchio Bare??

 

Afternoon Ell

Hunt has managed a total of 7 substitute appearances for Wigan this season, with total playing time of 13 minutes, after making 20 appearances for Portsmouth last season, 4 in starting eleven, 16 as sub.

Cameron Stewart slightly more prolific, he's made 2 starts and 2 sub appearances for Lincoln City this season, and played a total of 187 minutes this season, last season, he failed to make any first team appearances for Ipswich


More importantly for you though, is Casper Sloth got released by AaB, after making 21 appearances (11 as sub), and signed for Silkeberg in the Danish league, where they are 4th from bottom, but at least Casper has got some game time this season, having played nearly 33 hours of football, but not played for the national team since 2015

 

Never thought I'd say this up to Ayling's injury, but we have missed him in the second part of the season, he is one of two players who can get us from box to box swiftly

 

So are you basically saying we're career stoppers??

 

Best I can do for you LL, as I aint going back and analysing each and every game, watching them once is bad enough , is to say that Ayling has managed to provide one assist this season, Berardi, not managed any, LY makes 0.5 key passes per game, compared to 0.4 for GB. LY is fouled 1.7 times per game, GB is 0.8.

LY is also on averaged dispossessed once per game, and controls the ball poorly 1.7 times, compared to GB who gets dispossessed 0.4 times per game and apparently controls the ball poorly 0.5 times per game.

Also if you check on whoscored.com, under their rating system, for players who have made 10 or more appearances for us this season, our top five players are

Pontus - 7.15 rating per game
Forshaw 6.97 per game
Ayling - 6.97 per game
Pablo - 6.95 per game
Saiz - 6.95 per game

GB is 13th with a rating of 6.6 per game

lol not at all, more likely that we only sign players who's career has stopped prior to joining us

 

Glad you're not going into too much detail

 

Darn so glad you reminded me, I almost forgot the important stats

LY managed to complete 71.6% of his passes, compared to GB who completes 71.1, crosses per game LY averages 0.2, GB averages 0.1.

LY also favours playing the longer ball, averaging 2.3 long ball passes per game compared to GB who averages 1.0

Apologies for the previous post not providing a full summary

 

Big mistake big Mick taking on Cameron Stewart or Luke Carney - surely. It's like playing Shako as a centre back.
