Average passes per game (same chart as before) McCarthy 9th ... Fellaini 21st.
(Again ... I am making no claims this is important or this makes McCarthy better than Fellaini ... merely pointing out someone said Fellaini was better at this specific stat and that is not true.)
100% fair point on positions played ... but that wasn't mentioned before.to counter that argument though...fellaini stats from 2 games this season where he is playing deeper - Pass accuracy 88% Duels won 70% Its whether Fellaini plays as an attacking midfielder or a DM affects his stats as you would expect. I want to keep Fellaini, i just think he wants to leave. You cant simply write McCarthy off as being garbage though because as a DM the lad is a good player.
Or Brynnan.I try and swerve all these stats when evaluating if a player is sound or not, leave that to Baseball or the kopites.
Aye both fair points. I haven't seen him as much as both of you but the times I have I just haven't noticed him really. Surely though, if he's that sound then there has to be some better youtube clips out there? Youtube even made Bilyaletdinov look a player so it shouldn't be too hard with McCarthy.
Signing nondescript midfielders for decent amounts of money sets off my Mike Milligan and Danny Williamson alarms. You can add Vinny Samways to that too like.

Its really a nothing argument tbh.
Fellaini just didnt play DM last season, McCarthy did.
Now Fellaini is playing deeper, his stats have improved. Your also taking into account a difference manager and what hes asking the player to do.
To simply shout Fellaini smashes him is complete nonsense because he clearly doesnt, but McCarthy isnt Belgium and is also coming from Wigan - so noone wants him.
Id have him tomorrow.
He's a good player but I was still hoping Martinez might be able to sign a Spanish version for £1.
See, now thats much better. Its just pointless posting 1 set of stats without the other.
That's okay ... all but one person in the world is wrong about something sometimes.Besides, stats are useless IMO.
Darron Gibson had about zero good youtube montages before we signed him.
I am pretty convinced that played in a deeper lying role, over a season Fellaini's stats would be phenomenal.
