Credit where it's due?

Just going to point out that the top 5 players tonight were: Phillips (9.6); Austin (8.3); Kevin McDonald (8.1); James Perch (7.6); Massimo Luongo (7.4)

I think a balance of top players and grifters like the league one boys will get us through this season.

That post just shows everyone that stats mean nothing because perch was at fault for both goals

[Kevin Mcleod]

Probably the best cross ive seen from a rangers player in years tonight. (mattys to chaz for his goal), it really was that good.

Great win and a fighting display, but someone needs to sort out our defence, Perch's header for the second goal was abysmal and straight out of the Caulker defending book. We really need to strengthen at the back quickly,

Try reading Soccernomics, will open your eyes to the world of statistical analysis. As for whether he was at fault. I didn't get to watch the match but from what I heard on comms, everyone had a shocker in that first 30 minutes. In fact, their ratings at 30 minutes were phillips on 5.9; perch on 6.0; austin on 5.9 and luongo on 6.3

Look at the wolves player, McDonald had a 7.3 at 30 minutes which is very impressive. Also the rating is cumulative so if he started badly, he had a chance to improve and he certainly did.

Whatever Ramsey did at half time did the trick.
Nice one Rambo

Tell ya what though, without Phillips and Austin we are screwed.

Yep.......Would love to know what was said

I don't need to read anything stats mean nothing in football I could complete 100 passes out of 101 but if the 1 pass I've messed up leads to conceading a goal then the 100 mean naff all

And he did not make any assists he may have passed the ball to Matty 20yrds out before he shot and scored but that's not an assist

Keep the stats coming Nasser mate. Nevermind the YECs

[QPR Richard]

Replace them with quality? Is he the Italian lad?

Actually, thats literally the definition of an assist.

[MYU]

100 Percent with that one, these are according to whoscored.com He got an assist, made 2 successful tackles and 5 interceptions and had a 90% pass accuracy

Fair play to him.

Credit when we win, flak when we lose. Nature of the beast.

Roll on the good times

No it is not if inestia passes the ball to messi in there own half and he runs through half the opposition team and scores he wouldn't get credited with assisting that goal would he?

Actually he would, It goes down as an Iniesta assist.

Maybe in your world of stats and numbers and that's why they mean very little in the game of football
