It doesn't appear so, @The Fish failed to provide a quote, you haven't provided one and I don't believe I said any such thing. Scouts use statistics to inform and reinforce their opinion/judgement, scouts will use statistics as evidence when presenting their opinion/judgement, clubs hire data analysts, clubs are even designing their own programmes to record and analyse statistics in order to identify talent. Again, do some research on the likes of Ian Graham, Dafydd Steele, Tim Waskett, Laurie Shaw and Matthew Benham. Have a quick Google of StatDNA, QlikView and Wyscout. You're not living in reality if you think clubs spend millions of pounds on a player because a scout watched them play and thought 'he's pretty good'... That's not how the world works, you need evidence, you need to be able to explain why, in an objective way, when asked. You talk about patterns of play... What does that mean? Patterns of play are coachable right? That's what the coaching staff drill in training for the players to then implement on a match day right? If you're talking about a specific style of play, for example a coach that relies on pressuring the opposition when out of possession there are stats to identify players to suit that style, if you want to employ a possession based style there are stats to identify players to suit that style, if you want to employ a counter based style there are stats to identify players to suit that style and so on... Can you give me an example of an objective strength or weakness that cannot be measured? I have no idea what point you were trying to make when you referred to a 'fire engine' and an 'apple'. You saying that the stats I provided are 'spurious' doesn't make it true, you saying that I'm not very bright doesn't make it true. Like I said, you need to be able to explain why. Think this proves its pointless arguing with a fuckin brick Fyi, you agreed with most of my points mate whilst simultaneously claiming that you didnt know what point I was making You posted stats, then conpared those stats to people who commented on how ASM had played since Bruce left, that's comparing two utterly different things. You may not have meant that, but its certainly how it came across. Hope all this helps 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah this is the game, deliberately misconstrue to try to wind people up or goad them into going back and checking mountains of posts and coming back at you.

You have determined that the quotes you took were equivalent to people saying that ASM wasn't a great player. I explained to you why that demonstrated an inability to handle the nuance of the comments, and even posited that the comments being made there could be made about any player, great or otherwise. You responded to this by doubling down on your position without contending directly with anything I said. Some of those comments even have the nuance explicitly stated ffs. I am left with no option but to believe that you're either an actual idiot, or you're being deliberately obtuse. Given that you don't come across as someone who is an actual idiot, I've gone for the latter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayvin 4949 Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 (edited) Alright so to clarify the position, ASM is a great player who has some flaws and may not fit into a high press style of play since that seems to require the whole team to contribute to the system and he seems to lack the desire/ability to do that - hopefully we'll still be able to accomodate him though because he brings an awful lot to the team in an attacking sense. He also seemed to be out of form for a few matches after Bruce left but seems to be back on it again based on the Brentford game. In summary though, he's shite.

I stated that the following: 'Some of the drivel on here (from the same people too)... Since he's been here, he's been at worst, the 25th best player in the league based on the WhoScored ratings provided and he did that at arguably the worst performing team in the league.' Since that initial comment, I've provided quotes from users criticising Allan Saint-Maximin without providing any comment on those quotes (I was using them as evidence of the Saint-Maximin criticism being portrayed on this thread). For the third time now, I've had to state that I have not said what you're accusing me of. I'm explicitly stating that was not the point I made or was trying to make. Why are continuing push something that I never said and something that I don't believe to be true? It's almost like you're trying to point score... Where did you 'explain' my 'inability to handle the nuance of comments'? Because I can only find the following comments (below) and I don't see much in the way of an explanation, it looks like it's more of the "I said so, so it's true" nonsense: 'So it is indeed the inability to handle nuance. My god indeed.' 'You didn't outright say it, but that's the logical conclusion to the rationale behind this particular argument, since it takes all of the nuanced comments made on here and paints them as dismissive of the player in full' Your whole argument, is based entirely on how you think I feel about the comments critiquing Saint-Maximin and it's just ridiculous...

Rayvin 4949 Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 You literally said "that doesn't sound like a great player to me" in one of your replies, in reference to all those quotes, thus directly aligning our points of reference and the basis for everything I said thereafter. But look, I'm done. You can have it. I once argued for two solid days about the whether the Tories were technically right about an announcement they made about nurses' pay, but I can't keep going with this. And moreover, I think if I do continue it's just going to piss everyone else off. You win, you're right about everything. I'm not clear on what, exactly, but I'm sure you are. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
