I posted exactly what games there were
he has missed the first 4 games, then a few with injury in the middle and only the burnely game right now.
14 seems quite a lot to claim he has missed.
watford D
palace W
arsneal W
City. L
Hudderfield W
west ham W
stoke W
burnely W
So we beat a lot of **** teams there wihtout him.
I'd add everton as he came on with 12 mins to go at 1-1 on a dirty miserable night
He played against:
burnely D
Leicester W
Newcastle D (but he scored and its not his fault the team missed loads of chances and the cbs ****ed it
Utd D
spurs L lovren and mingolet **** ups
southampton win
cheslea D
Brighton win
WBA D (bad result that)
bournemouth win
Arsenal D (is he repsonsible for that idiocy from 2-0 up?)
swansea win
Leicester win
what about CL.
he didn't play v hoffenhiem who were absolute trash so missed two easy wins that get chalked up he missed the maribor home win at 3-0 (with him we beat them by 7) to thats 3 to add to the games above.
He played in the scratch side that lost to leicester... was that his fault? nope.
SO..... hang on now... what exactly did that stat from SKY prove exactly?
Is he responsible for Centre halves absolutely ****ing up? is he responsible for mingolet ****ing up?
He played v utd who parked the bus and cheslea who got an absolute fluke goal to equalise, he played as lovren let spurs score two easy goals. he played v arsenal where we were 2-0 and he was brillinat only to see two absolute shambolic goals in 5 mins due to gomez and mingolet
He didn't play v city nor the arsenal win.
for me that stat is complete turd. It is ignoring context totally. His inclusion had nothing to do with most of the **** ups i've outlined. He's scored 12 and assisted 9 or something for us this season
So 14 games played apparently without him. make that 2 qualifiers, 1 CL group match and 8 league games missed..... thats right off the bat blown that stat to pieces. he's missed 11 competitive games.
He has played in 20 games for us not 18 and scored 12 goals and made 9 assists.
I think you'll find context and understanding trumps and topline numbers passed off as actual "statistics"
