Not sure where to bring this up but this thread is as good as any. Wanted to point out a few interesting stats:
Basically, we have a collection of players performing at a very high level, consistently. I think we’d all agree that there is a missing ingredient somewhere, but we’re not far off having the whole package.
- Dele, who is in theory having a dip this season, is only behind De Bruyne, Sane and Pogba for assists. He is also only one goal/ assist behind Eriksen and Son for productivity, yet is 4 and 5 years their junior respectively.
- Lloris, who is in theory having a bad season, is only behind De Gea for clean sheets. This despite having no consistent defence or even midfield in front of him this season. We have the third best defensive record.
- Harry Kane has scored in14 of our 29 matches, having appeared in 27 of those, so while he’s scored 24 goals in total he’s scoring at a rate of 1 in 2. At the time of posting, we are the third highest scorers in the league... perhaps not such a one man team?
- Harry Kane is the only player in the league who has won player of the month twice.
- Only Azpilucueta, Walker and Cresswell (6 each) have assisted more than Davies (5) and Trippier (4). They have started upwards of 26 games each and are each outright top assisting full backs at their clubs, Davies has started 24 matches, Trippier has started 18 matches. They are the best assisting fullback combination in the league.
Basically, we have a collection of players performing at a very high level, consistently. I think we’d all agree that there is a missing ingredient somewhere, but we’re not far off having the whole package.
