No not really, Angella at this point hasn't shown me that he is the playmaking defender he was last season and in fact, has a worse pass accuracy at centre back than Ned (70.5% to Neds 72.4) while attempting only 3 more passes per game on average (40 to 37). Alongside this, he actually attempts more long passes than ned (4.2 to 3) which goes against what we need for someone alongside Clint or a Clint-esque player.
See this is where stats fall down, if you're using them to say Ned can pass a ball better than Angella!

No, I'm saying that so far, Ned has passed better than angella. This is a fact. I'm saying that Angella hasn't shown the ball playing skills that he is known to have.
