So this was in another thread thought it was worth one of its own.

 

So players rated in each position on their performances this season based on whoscored stats. Even taking into account stats can be interpreted in different ways its pretty damning stuff. (note this was after the first nine games so doesn't include the St Mary's massacre).

 

In the list saints players include

 

Gunn - 3rd worst keeper in the league

 

Yan Valery - 5th worst RB in the league

 

Yoshida - 2nd worse CB in the league

 

Bertrand - worst LB in the league (yes really)

 

Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg - 5th worst central midfielder in the league

 

Che Adams - 4th worst striker in the league

We all knew Gunn is in poor form. Utterly weird that Ralph continues to pick him

 

Some of us knew Valery was/is way over hyped. No where near as good as some believed. Lived off a couple of decent games for too long

 

Yoshida am surprised about given Vestergaard is in the team

 

Adams, what was the point?

Gunn is much younger than McCarthy and isn't it the club's policy to put as many young players as possible in the team/shop window? It's probably a policy Ralph had to agree to when he was first interviewed for the job.

If that is our policy, then we deserve to finish bottom

Hard to give it much weight when they haven't given their methodology, though a lot of those results aren't exactly shocking.

 

They are using the ratings from whoscored

 

WhoScored.com Ratings are considered to be the most accurate, respected and well-known performance indicators in the world of football. Our ratings are currently used among media giants, bookmakers and football clubs.

 

WhoScored.com Ratings are based on a unique, comprehensive statistical algorithm, calculated live during the game. There are over 200 raw statistics included in the calculation of a player'’s/team’'s rating, weighted according to their influence within the game. Every event of importance is taken into account, with a positive or negative effect on ratings weighted in relation to its area on the pitch and its outcome.

Che Adams, 4th worst??!! Did the other 3 just score own goals?

Nope, you’ve made that up.

 

"Southampton's starting XI at Brighton had an average age of 24 years and 128 days, the youngest team in the Premier League this season."

 

Obviously, they may have to put 1 or 2 older players in now to try to avoid relegation, which apart from selling players for profit, is the club's other main aim.
