Gary Medel Stand Out Performer

Not my words but the words of four four two statzone powered by Opta.

His "Dashboard" is truly somethingelse. Shame I cant get it in figure format but basically he misplaced one pass and lost one tackle al game.

No mention for Jose Canas though :laughing6:

Polo, you have gone mental in the last few days. My suggestions seems to have hurt you, it was not my intention. You say stats are useless then use them and give a link to a "decent site" :lol:

What credit do you want me to give? I said Medel is a good player and have never stated otherwise. Im just making the point £11m is a lot for someone that does no more than Canas... Which the stats show.

You said you have spent £30m and still expect to go down, i suggested maybe spending less than £11m on medel and buying midfielders like canas who do the same would allow you to strengthen elsewhere

I think thats pretty sensible.

Yes it's a good app mate. Did you read that article I took from the other board this morning. It's an excellent analysis of our strengths and weaknesses.

To compare Canas yesterday

Passes 85/92 (92%)
tackles won 3/6 (50%)
ball recoveries 3

Stats are not the only way to judge of course and this just reconfirms what those of us who watched both games and formed an opinion were saying in that Medel was more influential.

If using a stats site though nothing comes close to the 442 app. Certainly not whos score or skwaqa.

And i havent heard anyone try to say canas was better than medel yesterday :lol: Canas was up against a midfield worth more than the whole fulham side :D

You seem to want to use stats when medel has a better game but ignore ones that take into consideration all games played. All or nothing im afraid polo.

Roathie reffering to Medel


Ive said in another thread - He was good, but again being over hyped due to the price tag. He did his job well. No more than what Canas did today


Well not according to the 442 stats he didnt he did it far better.

They dont need to. Just look at the relevant stats yourself... I have :laughing6:

The other more accurate site (the one that doesnt apply rounding like your one) says Canas is better overall.

Seems the neutrals cant decide. Sort of proves my point really.

Wasnt i on ignore? You have been a walking contradiction today Polo. Good job i like you isnt it :lol:

Polo dont get sucked in mate. Before you know it, you will be involved in a 4 pager going nowhere wasting another 3 hours of your life!

Re: Gary Medel Stand Out Performer

Sun Sep 29, 2013 3:55 pm

I took you off block for an hour to prove your stats theory as nonsenical :thumbup:

And also to make your claim Medel did no more than Canas yesterday as utterly absurd :lol:

Oh I wont mate the very fact hes finaly admitted Medel outshone Canas yesterday when he spent all last night saying otherwise wil do for me. He never admits hes wrong but I left him no choice.

You want to prove my stats as nonsensical by giving the same stats but over one match for medel? :lol:

As i said polo, all or nothing. Are you for stats or against them? You seem to be advocating them when in favour of medel and rubbishing them when they go against him. That screams an agenda. Im more than happy to go with the stats for or against Canas and all stat sites have it pretty close.... Which of course is my point in a nutshell.

I didnt think there was much in it at all yesterday, especially when factoring in the opposition. Big difference between fulham and Arsenal.

Medel however naturally had a better game as a result however canas is okaying slightly better overall and has played more illustrious opponents. These are facts. Im more than happy for you to debate your opinion properly but when asked you run a mile and relynon the fact Medel plays for Chile and Canas doesnt play for Spain :laughing6:

Always admit im wrong when proven Polo.

The irony is you say you keft me no choice when presenting stats in medels favour, yet you still decide to ignore when i show you the same oroof regarding Canas.

Yet you accuse me of not admitting when im wrong... That cant get any more ironic :laughing6:

That guy Roath is banging about is rubbish and is nothing special nor good.

Re: Gary Medel Stand Out Performer

Sun Sep 29, 2013 9:29 pm

We could do with a stat showing how many yds/miles etc Medel covers during a game compared to canals or Britton etc... I bet he covers way more ground than either and is present In more field positions...
