Jinx.

Get the **** in.

That's better FFS.

Well, basically it's just above half what it was last season...

Your usual intelligent debate as per I see Shurlock.

0.95 this season, 1.55 last season.

I know statistics can't prove everything, but I thought a comparison between last year (our most successful in a long time) and this year is pretty apt. So here goes: 2016/2017 Possession: 53.2% Shots per game: 14.6 Shots on target per game: 4.7 Pass Success: 80.8% Dribbles won per game: 9 Tackles per Game: 20.1 Interception per Game: 14.3 Shots conceded per game: 10.4 2015/2016 Possession: 49.3% Shots per game: 13.7 Shots on target per game: 4.4 Pass Success: 77.7% Dribbles won per game: 7.1 Tackles per Game: 18.8 Interception per Game: 18.6 Shots conceded per game: 12.2 Now, looking at the above statistics you would expect us to be having a better season this year. I think there is one main statistic here that explains the difference this season, and it's within the Interceptions statistic, and the speed with which we turn defence into attack. Last season we intercepted more, and these tend to be in the middle of the pitch, which means we could defence into attack more when the opposition wasn't set. This meant Mane and Long could get hold of the ball in more dangerous situations, with a higher defensive line for the opposition and an ease for us to put balls over the top to chase. So far our best midfielder in relation to Interceptions (other than Romeu as he is a staple) is Hojberg with 1.1 per game. Last season it was Clasie with 2.5 (Clasie averages 0.9 this season but historically has averaged over 2 for his last 4 years of career). I think therefore, we need the following: - A new striker. We are scoring less even though we're having more shots, and more on target. Striker must have pace and ability to finish. - A new partner for Oriol, one with the ability to intercept and play long balls. Honestly, this player should be Clasie, so maybe it's a case of getting him into some form. Anyway, this may all be bull****, but I thought it was interesting, and some of you may do as well.

I'm just wondering, what do you want out of the football you're seeing? Would you prefer the long punts of last season (especially the first half of the season). More shots (we're averaging more shots and clear cut chances this season than last), or would you prefer to see more possession (we are averaging a higher percentage than last season). Or do you just prefer that we don't pass it around the defence as much?

Completely. This is why we need someone to finish these chances and we'd be grand, and Puel would be a brilliant manager.

He could be screwing himself massively now. He would do well to rescind the request and wait until the Summer.

What a sad article to read.

Sell Benteke? Wonder why.

Just out of interest, how has she taken the money out, cos she certainly hasn't via dividends of any kind. Are you saying she is illegally pilfering money from the club? Be very careful how you answer this question by the way.

Perhaps you could find those tweets for me old boy? I seem to remember you got banned at the same time, but I'm not sure we can go into the reason you got banned considering the police had to get involved due to the unsavoury nature of some of your posts...and you losing it over PM. :lol: But you're correct, this is about Fonte.

But all he wants is responses. If people ignored him, he'd go away. People who respond to him are encouraging him to continue. And don't mention the moderating, they're well aware of what he is, but he pays a fiver every year, sooo...

Honestly, those that respond to Glasgow are as bad he is. He is trolling you, and you responding to him is falling into his trap. I'm not really sure how many times people need to be told - don't feed the troll!!

And us too. ****ing bored of it now...

Les will be happy - replay means more money in through ticket sales and merchandising...

Scored some stunners did Stern. Remember a volley as part of a hat trick against Hull?

Yeah, but you were complaining on lack of matches for Yoshida. Easy way to get that extra data.

Yeah, can see why they need them for sure.

Why would I want to say that, pal? (Love the passive-aggressive stance on this.)

Blimey, it is. Very surprised at how low pay is for League 1.

"We didn't start the fire, it was Jose Fonte when he won the Euro's..."

Why have you excluded European games from both Yoshi and Van Dijk?
