Someone quoted stats regarding a players headers,tackles , how many times he gobbed on the pitch e.tc., I thought does anybody really give a flying fxck about stats?

88.7% of statistics are made up.

The odds on someone posting about stats must be about 2,654 to 7 i reckon. Thats if you count everyone on here or everyone thats on here but not at work.. This is easy to work out once you include those who have not read this post and those who can't be arsed.

Statistically, Sheffield United are the best team in the division.

Unrealistic.

Anyone who thinks statistics have all the answers is an idiot.

Anyone who thinks that statistics are meaningless is also an idiot.

We should do away with the league table

At least stats can inform the Massive@StadioRustico dwellers that they haven`t averaged 30,000 crowds in a season for 56 years.

One of my Sheffield Wednesday supporting friends always says to me - "You can prove owt with stats".

This is usually on the back of me showing how good United have faired, or how bad Wednesday have.

Assuming others have seen the stats from todays match.

And that Narwich had, statistically at least, 2/3 rds possession ( and thus control) of todays game.

And this comes from someone who has given significant emphasis and importance to “statistics” and “data analysis” in the recent past.

WTF have I just witnessed that tells me we dominated that match pretty much throughout that the stats simply do not corroborate ?

Seriously !!

They had 2/3 possession but were nearly all backwards or sideways passes that were not in the final 3rd of the pitch. We were comfortable throughout. Cooper made zero saves. They had zero shots on target.

These stats show other parts of possession.

It’s all about which stars you look at - as the original thread implies.

It turns out 2/3 possession doesn’t really show control I’d say. Before we went ahead quite a bit of the play was them being pressed high up the pitch trying to pass, struggling to make progress and us picking them off and having a quick attack (like the goal and Hamer’s long range shot). They had possession, but not control. After we went 1-0 up we dropped a little bit and gave them a little more space to pointlessly pass it around in their half.

 

[Coolblade]

I half agree, they are just an objective way to sense check what we think we see! They are far from a complete and fair analysis!

2 down with 10 minutes left, Norwich continued "playing the right way" bollox! I would have been annoyed if I was a Norwich fan.

 

[Caveblade]

Absolutely shit at playing out from the back, several times nearly played into trouble before the first which came directly from the press. Despite conceding they continued to fanny about and are simply not good enough.

Passes sideways and backwards. The stats don't tell the story of a game where only one team was in it.

It's a simple game and we were quite happy for Norwich to have the ball in front of us because they offered no threat whatsoever.

Conclusion - Their manager is an idiot and not very good. Poorest Norwich team I have seen in years.
