Iâve put a new set of chalkboards/stats up for the Villa game at http://wearepremierleague.com. Before Sunday Iâd have happily taken a 0-0 and obviously the events of that morning help explain why the game itself was a bit drab.
Villa definitely came with a game plan of disrupting our passing committing 11 fouls in the first half alone, mainly in the middle third where as weâre not the kind of team to pump it in the box it just means a break in play before the passing starts again.
Iâve also looked at Rangelâs and Jazzâs passing stats, not surprisingly Rangelâs are more attacking but I think generally speaking Jazz did OK. He looked nervous but I guess him not being a first team regular means you focus on him more and so anything he does do wrong gets magnified.
