It’s a bit of a silly stat, because only players in a very specific position are going to have a high percentage here. Anyone who is further up the pitch will obviously have to make sideways or backwards passes more often to retain possession.

Also when he ran into people, or jumped for contested headers.
I was a bit upset we never gave him a go up front when Auba was cocking about and Laca was injured. Could have been the new Heskey.
The debate about that Hwang one is bizarre. Couldn’t be any more obviously a penalty. But what’s crazy is that no-one is talking about VAR discussing possible contact etc, rather than saying ‘textbook case of jumping in, clear penalty’ or whatever. They just don’t know the rules.
It isn’t gaslighting, it’s just being a cunt.
Havertz shouldn’t have been sent off, that’s just silly. It was a bit of a soft yellow, mostly those are just given as free kicks with no card.
On the goal, it was obviously never out of play. I really despair of people who don’t understand what shape a sphere is. A football is 22cm in diameter. 11cm radius. Some of it sits down into the grass, but you can still see at least 5 or 6 cm of grass at the base when the outermost point is level with the edge of the line.
Calling Qatar “CAT-ur” or Chile “chilly”.
Everyone knows it’s pronounced Chile, rhymes with Nile, like the singular of Adrian Chiles.
Ron Atkinson, is that you? FFS. Kick it out!
That’s not racist at all…
You know there are other countries where people speak other languages, right?
According to his mega-bullshitter dad.
For some reason I always found Kolasinac really entertaining. Shite, but fun to watch.
How is Partey unreliable? He’s had some injuries this season, but any player can get injured. He hasn’t been notably injury prone otherwise, has he?
Kids with potential are expensive these days. Daft as it sounds, this isn’t a price for a likely starter. When top midfielders cost £100m, you can buy 5 kids and hope one of them eventually makes it - or even a couple more, considering you’ll probably get some money back for the ones who don’t make it at the Arsenal/Chelsea level, but are still quite good.
That’s an utter disgrace to the club badge. Why are you driving a Man U car?
Bergkamp. Still can’t really understand how that happened. Arguably the greatest creative attacker of his era showed up at Arsenal when Rioch was in charge, just after the dullest era in the club’s history.
