Match Thread : Liverpool v Toulouse

Disagree, stats are useful for the stuff people miss with their eyes.

Using your eyes is over rated.

Lies, damned lies, and statistics

Don't want to jinx the lad, but Quansah..I can't remember him putting a foot wrong in any game so far.
20 years old.

That’s the problem with going purely on stats, Gomez rated better than Jota and Trent while supposedly performing as well as Núñez and not even far behind Gravenberch.

I think not, Quansah is already a better option than Joe at CB

I thought it was a shame Quansah didn't start last night. These games are the ones he should be getting game time in, our midfield/attack should be able to win the day against the likes of Toulouse so we can afford to give him the time he needs.

Maybe he'll play the away games and leave Joel at home. He does look quality, though. So I can see why alot want to see more off him.

Yeah I was disappointed Quansah didn’t start, the experience would have done him good, never mind the fact he’s already better than Gomez

Williams looked better than Gomez once.. until he had to turn around.... and run backwards

Maybe Williams can replace Maguire at utd?.. I think maguire is even faster mind

I think Quansah can replace matip soon.... and then a top young CB ready to step in for VVD.. or well partner with VVD, I don't rate konate overly high..

I think gomez stays because he's english and can play all along the backline.... even if he can't play very good, important now milner has gone, especially on the right... we have noone.

Correct, a lot of stats are also meaningless and often out of context with a team's style of play, eg a stat such as tackles in a pressing system which if done right means you shouldn't have to be throwing yourself into many, a player making more tackles frequentlybeing out of position in his team's style of play

It could work if they were to categorise tackles, block tackles and covering tackles for example, the stattos don't seem to count block tackles as tackles at all from stats i've seen them produce

You were certainly right about Gravenberch before he came. How the hell wasn’t he playing at Bayern?
