GARY MEDEL'S PASSING

Fri Sep 27, 2013 8:01 pm

Gary Medel has made 243 passes in the 5 games to date and 220 have been accurate, that is a pass accuracy rate of 91% :ayatollah:

Message to Ben Turner, you are a good centre half but I do sigh when you play that long ball so often, give the ball to Gary and let him do what he does best :D

Damn that scared me. Thought you meant he had "passed" on to the afterworld. Been impressed with him too. Thought he was only going to run around punching people when he signed!

Carl where do you get your stats? I make it 92% not 91%....

And to the above poster, yes it certainly is up there with Leon Britton who has a 93% accuracy so far this season.

Carl you really need to think a bit more about your thread titles, on first glace anyone would think Medal had died :lol: :lol:

That's all we do is the same old tactics with Turner. Why the f**k do we keep doing that stupid long ball thing? It's the reason Spurs were able to constantly come at us.

Re: GARY MEDEL'S PASSING

I might be wrong but aren't a lot of Medel's passes to Turner, Taylor and Caulker who then don't have anyone to pass to so hit the ball long?

Some of the hoofballs from Turner are because Marshall is not very good at kicking so he passes it to Turner to kick, while others are because there is no outlet in space, there isn't a player unmarked. Therefore, if anyone is to be blamed it's the team for not working harder to be in space or the opposition for having the cheek to press forward.

you find its same for all the midfield players who are high in passing stakes, they choose nearest player normally to pass to! don't go by such stats as they don't tell the story in full, :old:

I wonder what his shooting rate is. :lol:

Nice to see you back as well Merlin. :ayatollah:

Medel was again amazing today... Worth every penny of that £11M... Work rate was immense... Saw him run up and down the pitch all day and keep defence really solid.

Re: GARY MEDEL'S PASSING

Sat Sep 28, 2013 8:41 pm

Just my opinion, but I can't imagine that turner is being told to play lovely 5 yard passes and he's deciding for himself to smash the thing up field instead. If he was doing so bad, then why isn't Hudson in the starting lineup.

The team just won, he played and he gets grief! What do we want him to do? You know what he ain't rio Ferdinand , get over it.

This board does my head in, I just hope no players read it....

I think Turner is doing well and if England are looking at him and he is still young then he cant be doing a lot wrong so I think some on here are harsh on turner. Yes Medel is doing great but so are the whole team I think they have stepped up really well and Turner and Coulker are going to be a class partnership for the future

Medel has to be one of the signings of the summer. He's just a rock in midfield and impresses me more each game, his work rate and yards covered must be high also. He does the ugly stuff and loves his job, pure class.

Another amazing Under-The-Radar MM signing. What a player. And what a manager. Good Times.

Get over message boards will you! Maybe you are the only one in the stadium that doesn't see Turner lump it up the f*cking pitch with his long diagonal pass every time he gets the ball?

Yes he defends very well, I agree hes done great lately, still doesn't justify his hefty lumping boots? :|
