Well those stats shows how meaningless they are considering Rochdale lost 3-0 at home. Makes you wonder what sort of passes they are counting, and that it is what you do with possession that counts.

Princerock · Oct 18, 2020

Passing accuracy means nothing if your choosing the easy option pass all the time.... and not the risky defence splitting goal producing ball.

I think they’re the season to date stats not just yesterday’s games? But regardless, Leicester won at Man City with something like 28% possession

There’s only one stat that matters!

Keith Curle another opposition manager singing the praises of Mayor and what he brings to the game at this level, often taking several opposition players out of the game. It also looks like Grant was replaced at half time due to an injury thus the armchair manager of hindsight claiming he could see the same as RL yesterday maybe wasn't quite as astute as he thought? Perhaps it can be put down to old age?

I think possession stats would be more meaningful if you only counted possession in the opposition half. That, surely, is the stat that counts.

I anticipated that Grant was going to get injured !
How many more times I am entitled to an opinion as much as you are. If you need to quote another manager to back your view fine but although I think Mayor is a good player I cannot see how he receives so much praise. Give me Lameiras over him any day of the week.At least he knew where the net is.

Fair point but Lameiras is gone and Mayor I believe that Mayor is the most creative player we have.

In an era of stats,, why is there not one quoting the figures for Mayor's goal assists?

jimsing · Oct 19, 2020

Or even his goal assist assists??!!??

German Shepherd · Oct 19, 2020

....or a stat to quote how many players he has marking him each match & the associated space this creates ? :think:

He still does. Scored twice yesterday in a 3-3 away draw.
