I like it, some of it gives a picture, but I wouldn't live or die by it.

It can show that player X did do this, it can't show that player Y would have done this.

Plus little technical things like, what is a 'tackle' and what is a 'won' tackle? etc.

No context to the stats in terms of the moment in which an incident happened.

It is useful to see who generally completes more passes, sees more of the ball, makes/wins more tackles though.

    - Also you can draw the wrong conclusions. Often leads you to look at what one team 'did' (NCFC) - jafski, Sep 19, 10:38:36
