Saint IQ Posted 15 March, 2018 Posted 15 March, 2018 A thread for interesting/decent/unbelievable/boring stats Just saw on SSN about Crystal Palace Palace have lost all 9 games this season without Wilfred Zaha scoring just 3 goals Had those games been draws or wins with him available the only teams that would have lost less games than Palace are the top 5. Wonder how much he'll go for in the summer?
mrfahaji Posted 15 March, 2018 Posted 15 March, 2018 (edited) It makes such a difference having a player with pace who can take people on. They don't just create chances directly, but they get extra attention, defenders often have to double up, which then opens up space for others. I'm not saying they are equally good, but it's the main reason why people clamour for Boufal to play. He might be a bit of a 'show pony', but Zaha has been labelled that in the past too. It's especially true when games are tight and teams are packing out defences. You simply can't break them down by safe sideways passing waiting for an opportunity. Edited 16 March, 2018 by mrfahaji

Well if we're focusing on pace, Redmond falls short because he doesn't have it.
egg Posted 16 March, 2018 Posted 16 March, 2018 Talking of stats. This may be well known but it surprised me when the answer was revealed. Which Saints players in, the Premiership era, have the best win percentage, apparently at 56% ? (And played over 38 games).

From a saints point of view you have to wonder where we would be in the table if Austin hadn't been injured (and MoPe had actually started playing him from the first game of the season).

Or, more importantly Forster had been dropped much earlier. Brighton springs to mind.

I'd guess someone who played under Koeman, particularly if (through accident or design) they missed a big chunk of one or both of his 'fallow periods' ie the tail of his first season, or November/December of his second season. Under Koeman, when the team was 'on' the win rate was unreal. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
SuperSAINT Posted 16 March, 2018 Posted 16 March, 2018 Thats why Palace will stay up easily. Yup. Their fixtures start to get much easier toward the end of the season.

Which Saints players in, the Premiership era, have the best win percentage, apparently at 56% ? (And played over 38 games). If we're talking about someone who has been a regular in the team/squad for a decent period of time, someone who was here for Pochettino & Koeman (or maybe just Koeman). Wanyama's must be pretty good.

I assume you mean only games played in the PL other wise Lambert's win percentage must be high.
Wurzel Posted 16 March, 2018 Posted 16 March, 2018 I remember when Nathaniel Clyne seemed to be sharing the RB slot with - ****, forgotten who it was now, Callum Chambers?? - we had a far superior points per game and number of clean sheets whenever Clyne was the one playing so I'll go for him
Saint IQ Posted 11 April, 2018 Author Posted 11 April, 2018 Will saints be the first team in the Premier League to be relegated without losing 3 games in a row? Look at it, we actually haven't! Alas I can't be bothered to find out if this has happened before.

davefoggy Posted 13 April, 2018 Posted 13 April, 2018 Or, more importantly Forster had been dropped much earlier. Brighton springs to mind. We could all see it couldn't we. Was so friggin obvious. As was that clown of a manager, we could all see he was out of his depth, no stats needed. This current mess should have been so easily avoided
