Our gutless, ineffective midfield

[LEONARD]

Tom Davies even has the nerve to claim that he, and the others, will react against Southampton.

No one believes you mate.

 

[Paul Rideout]

Hate Tom all you want but remove Walcoot and Bernard who seem to actually produce once in a while and you've got: (siggy removed as he's been a set piece/pen taker and I cba finding out open play goals)

André Gomes - 42 games - 1 goal - 1 assist.
Tom Davies - 100 games - 5 goals - 4 assists.
Delph - 16 Games - 0 Goals - 0 assists
Iwobi - 22 games - 1 goal - 0 assists

Now let's give them all 100 games.

André Gomes - 100 games - 3 goals - 3 assists
Tom Davies - 100 games - 5 goals - 4 assists.
Delph - 100 Games - 0 Goals - 0 assists
Iwobi - 100 games - 3 goal - 0 assists

That's being generous and rounding up from 2.38 to 3 instead of down to 2.

So nice Park End shout but Davies has better stats than the other 3 and had to play more games for Marco "black hole of happiness" Silva

Iwobi

22/100= 0.22
1/0.22= 4.54

Think your sums are wrong

 

[Huyton Layne]

22/100= 0.22
1/0.22= 4.54

Mate I've gone and used Gomes' math twice. Am i out of edit time?

Fixed and no one will know the difference lol

 

[Paul Rideout]

So what you're (weirdly very angrily) saying is that they are all crap?

Fine by me, thanks for making the case.

We must stop the edits.

 

[blue1948]

I only care that he’s not playing, as he’s ineffective.
You might be a shareholder and care about how much money you’re paying him, but I’m not sure it makes much difference to Moshiri when you look at it overall, and I doubt my season ticket money makes much difference either.
But I guess you’re just deflecting from your initial mid-read.

Yes,I misread it but maybe it was the idea of having a player removed from the squad and not selling him that I couldn't get my head around but yes you are correct I assumed and did not read it correctly.

 

[Sharpies volley]

We once had midfielders like Arteta, Pienaar, Fellaini, Cahill, etc.

Sad times.

Yeah and we still didn't win anything.

 

[Welshy]

Yeah and we still didn't win anything.

True but at least those guys were real men not cowards.

Indeed, of course they could put an effort in every match for what they are PAID to do.

Got no problem with attacking them all mate. Just Tom always gets singled out and he's no worse, maybe better, than players in their prime that we've paid over 20 million for.

 

[Efctrueblue]

Davies, Delph, Gomes in my opinion should not be judged and hammered for their goals and assist contributions. If we had two solid CM’s who actually kept the team ticking and controlled the game that would enable our attacking players to create when we actually have the ball!

They should, however, be judged on their complete lack of positional knowledge, the inability to make a meaningful challenge , and lack of guile to create anything going forward!

 

[Philw]

Looks like Bernard is our most effective player out of that lot

5 goals, 4 assists from a non-tackling "box-to-box" midfielder in 100 games. Lol.

According to the stats, significantly better than Gomes...

 

[billyblue80]

We are in desperate need of a nasty nasty git in the centre of the park, this midfield is full of nice ghosts...

 

[jceverton]

They are all pretty shocking. The best performance most probably came from Iwobi against West Ham. Hard to properly judge that performance because the opposition was shocking. Other than that the player who has looked the most comfortable in there has been Holgate and he's not even a midfielder! Not looking like a very good recruitment process by Brands so far. Hopefully Ancelotti has a far bigger say on the recruitment in the summer because the midfield needs a complete overhaul.
