Man Utd 1-1 Saints - Stats Analysis

[Minty]

Haven't got time to do this every game, but think it is worthwhile to add to some of the debate about player/team performances, especially where there are differences of opinion.

 

Shots: 12 - 18

On target: 5 - 7

Shots blocked: 2 - 2

 

Passes completed: 308 - 352

Pass completion %: 78.8 - 77.7%

Passes attempted in attacking third: 110 - 135

Caught offside: 8 - 2

Attepted dribbles: 18 - 13

Interceptions: 22 - 9

Aerial duels won %: 41.7% - 58.3%

Clear further evidence of our pressure on the home defence in the number of clearances made by each team. Quite unheard of for us to have ever out-passed Utd at home too, I'm sure!

 

I'll add player stats tomorrow if I have time.

[9-3]

Brilliant.

Where did you get stats from?

[Minty]

Fourfourtwo stats zone. Highly recommended.

[Saints Warrior]

It just shows that the headline stats we only normally does not reflect how Saints play or how much of a hard game (make the opponents work). Saints have improved from last season and todays game shows that you stick to your plan (even if its plan A first half and plan B second) then your in with a chance. Saints are much better in the air this season too!

 

Pass completion is normally associated with the likes of Moan U and Liverpool, clearances mean you defending so must have been under attack for a large part. Well done Minty, well done Saints.

Caught off side should be 9. Rooney looked off, for the lead up to their goal.

Was clearly offside. A lot closer than the two offsides MotD showed for no apparent reason before it, but offside nevertheless. Which would also have changed what was in the Man U "goal" column too.
