Key stats missing are hands to face gesticulating and dancing feet flicks that lose possession.
Anyway you mention football being a basic game and dismiss training yet want to hold up stats, as so many (geeks) ido these days, as evidence - We know what we see.
Stats tell me Wanyama passes the ball accurately - he doesn't.
I am not on Pelle's back though and annoys me so many seem to be but don't rely on stats to see when someone is in and out of form.
