I know your a big fan of Onouha but for me, he was dreadful early on in the season, but he was ranked as one of the best defenders. He has sorted himself out and I think him and Hall are building a great partnership.
Just don't believe stats tell the whole story.
So focussing on Onuoha as a negative early in the season for me was harsh because he had so much more to do back then, eventually a mistake was going to be made. Pique could be playing with the Cambridge United youth squad and get criticised for making more mistakes than usual because of how much he has to do. That to me is why stats are useful in helping build a bigger picture of everything."What stats allow you to do is not take things at face value. The idea that I trust my eyes more than the stats, I just don't buy that because I've seen magicians pull rabbits out of hats and I know I just know that rabbit's not in there." - Billy Beane

Would just like to say that as predicted above, a midfield duo of Faurlin and Luongo were capable of aiding in the keeping of a clean sheet against a team who have scored in all but two of their home matches this season. Away from home, we limited them to 100 forward passes into the final third and hence, there was much less to deal with for our centre backs. Having a midfield duo who can work well together will be key in defensive success. Add on the fact that Faurlin is able to create more and allow others around him to create (13 key passes played) and you can see that our early season woes weren't really down to Onuoha as much as the duo in front of him."What stats allow you to do is not take things at face value.

Warnock and JFH play a very cautious and defensive game, we will not concede a lot of goals but were suffering at the other end. This has got to give??C'Mon You Supaaaa!!

A lot of the goals I saw early on in the season NO was out of position, where is the stat for that?? It wasn't just Onouha but I expected more from him being our 'best defender', one of the clubs top earners and Captain.
