I need more on the Wanyama/Dembele thing here.
Wanyama "had a very good game, seeing more ball than anyone blah blah blah..."
81 passes with 87% accuracy.
Dembele "looked laboured and didn't move the ball quick enough etc etc amen..."
75 passes with 92% accuracy.
One of those players was on the pitch for 10 minutes plus injury time longer than the other one.
Neither (according to whoscored) made any tackles.
BC Bingo. We're in Wilson Palacios/Tom Huddlestone territory here.
It's not just the amount of passes bear, it's that Wanyama didn't fucking dawdle on it like a dervish on skag. Seem's our esteemed leader felt similar as one of them got hauled off and the other didn't. Guess which one.
