I blame Billy Beane.It seems a lot of fans in the modern era base their opinion of a player entirely on stats. I see it a lot on Twitter - idiot FIFA players throwing out someone's average rating on FotMob as undeniable proof that he's amazing/the worst player in the world (because it has to be one or the other).
Ridiculous that they publish that kind of stuff in The Guardian. I would strongly suspect the writer has never watched any of those players in the flesh.
