Kid Dynamite 5899 Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Like most of our players he has the potential to be world class. Pardew, Carver and Stone are doing their best to make sure that doesn't happen though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ULSTER MAG 0 Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Can't see how we can criticize any body like Sissoko when ttheir made to play with the likes of the Ameobis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Face 29 Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Mouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuussa. Statistically, Newcastle had the 5th highest shots per game in the whole league last season. Above Arsenal, Man U, Everton and Soiuthampton. They weren't actual chances though. I'd wager a large proportion of those "chances created" were not visionary trough balls into the box or pinpoint crosses onto someones head, but rather side passes which Tiote blasted into row zz from 30 yards out.

Happy Face 29 Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 ...I wonder if the club use stats like this to convince lazy clubs that don't do their homework on the effectiveness of the player they're buying...and by extension dictate to Pardew the style we should play, which is for anyone and everyone to shoot on sight. Perhaps a bit too Wolfy that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClubSpinDoctor 0 Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 I wouldn't be bothered if he went really. He's not an out and out winger and if he stays that's where he'll play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't imagine they count as a chance, unless it's decided retrospectively? Any pass resulting in a shot is counted a chance making pass? Seems a bit muddy. What if some full back receives the ball from the 'keepers punt, then scores from a miss hit cross? Did the 'keeper really create a chance?

Happy Face 29 Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 In total Newcastle had 579 shots at goal last season. If Sissoko created 76 of those it would be over 13%. 182 shots on target, so if it's 76 of them then Sissoko created almost 42% of opportunities. I'm inclined to think it must surely be the former.

The Fish 8983 Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 I didn't mean "on target" or not, I meant that a pass that leads to a shot shouldn't always be classed as a chance creating pass. Sometimes the player receiving the ball fashions his own chance after receiving the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Face 29 Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Yeah, but I think there would have to be a shot to call whatever was created a chance. As 54% of our shots come from outside the box we know that the whole team had 266 shots inside the area. Can't imagine Sissoko provided a third of those single handedly.

I suppose, mind you , whichever way you cut it, it shows that Sissoko was involved in the final third more than the rest of our midfielders. Yet he's still dismissed by great swathes of the support as a bit of a carthorse. This stat shows, at the very least, that he's a source of opportunities.

PaddockLad 14574 Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 So what's his best position? "Box to box midfielder" isn't a position, it's a description of what he allegedly does on the pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaddockLad 14574 Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 His passing isnt good enough for central midfield iyam. Thats why Pardew sticks him out wide as far as I can make out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
