    Sorry, I meant the season after we dropped.

    Henry and Luongo were in the same side in 2015/16

      • Scowen and Freeman both played fairly well today from what I heard but we were clearly missing someone...

            • Luongo is the guy who plays the second assist. When we score, Freeman or someone ahead of him will get the assist, but the person smart enough to give them the ball in a dangerous position is Luongo. Without him, we're so empty offensively

              • Big up Luongo all you like, but he wasnt the reason we didnt win today. Thats due to the fact we have pretty much no goal threat. If you think we would have won just because Luongo was playing i think your a bit deluded. Scowen and Freeman still played well without Luongo, does Luongo still play well without Scowen or Freeman?

                  He did against Boro when Scowen didn't play...

                  • Luongo is much improved. And has been great this season. His discovery of penicillin, however, is what stands out.

                      I dunno man, I think him discovering electricity was a bigger one

                            WHAT BOLLO(KS,, Smithies can claim 3rd 4th 5th 2nd 8th most when he just hoofs it up the pitch, 2nd assist never heard so much waffle in my life,

                              I wonder who has the most passes to Luongo to claim 3rd assist ?

                                I wouldn't expect you to agree seeing as career on this site is to complain. Let me give you an example.

                                David Silva has got over 10 league assists in just two season since joining Man City, yet he's still considered one of the best midfielders in the league. Why? Because he plays the second assist, defined by opta as:

                                A pass/cross that is instrumental in creating a goal-scoring opportunity, for example a corner or free-kick to a player who then assists an attempt, a chance-creating through ball or cross into a dangerous position.

                                Now, I'm inclined to side with the fact that opta define it as a valuable measurable asset, as opposed to siding with someone on a website who isn't my biggest fan.

                                The second assist is vital and it's clear from the Burton game. Prior to the match, Freeman had played 2 key passes a game on average. Against Burton? None, reason being of course no one was giving him the ball in positions where he can create chances. People talk about how much Scowen gives the other two freedom to attack, I think this more than anything proves that Luongo is the teeth of our midfield and without him in the side, we're toothless going forward (comparably)
