Liverpool TV's player stats page has a stats comparison tool for free where you can compare stats between players.
You don't have to use Liverpool players - any players in the PL work. Scroll down a bit here:

Comparing Skrtel and Agger with defenders from other top teams, the two Liverpool defenders run them ragged in terms of defensive stats. Skrtel won more aeriel duels than Kompany and Lescott combined.
Jonny Evans is interesting - when it comes to duels (both aeriel and ground) he does rather poorly. I'd imagine you'd want your central defenders to win more than 58% of your ground duels. But what really surprised me is his rather impeccable passing completion. Even in the opponent's half he managed an 80% pass completion. That's well higher than Kompany and Agger.

You're a very good writer. I likey
Sweeeeeet, enjoy

Love the guy, produces some great stuff!
Nice, change your av.
Dude is never coming to Ireland, managed to get tickets for this Orlando show. I might die from excitement. I love camp and culdasack.
HA Wait, what? Why?
A good read, although I thought a couple of your puns were a bit wide of the mark, (the tree, the character and the zombies) although admittedly that could be due to my lethargy as I'm still led in bed.
I'd have probably swapped the bulk of the discussion around too; with the note about Arshavin's performance for Russia more a thought about sport, and the breakdown of each group taking up the main body of the text.
As I say though, good piece.

One of football's greatest truisms.
Bad filter and giant eye-balls. That or she reminds me of Lily from How I Met Your Mother with tats...
That's quite impressive. Liverpool's best passer is Maxi Rodriguez 90.6 / 85.2 respectively.
We really need to up our game. Our passing overall this last year was horrendous and it's even worse when the numbers are staring you right in the face. According to the stats, though, Evra is a damn fine LB, when he's been slipping up all season.

3rd best in the league man.
Over 50% of passes forwards too I think.
Was the best passer in over 50% of the matches he played in last season.

Really? Link to the stats. Would be interested to see this.
Yeah just looked it up in comparison to Clichy, Evra seems to have done just as well... so odd.

That's quite hilariousSo Johnson went missing in the England team photo yesterday:

She's really unattractive too. It's a perfect storm of no thanks for me. Edit: New picture is no better.
Not a huge fan of Childish myself.. saw him last year and he's fine live but I just don't think he's that good. He does have good stage presence though so I'm sure if you do like him, you'll have an absolute blast.

Why does Parker always look like a smug cunt?

Because he's a smug cunt
Because he's fooling the world with his football 'skills'.
Nah just kidding I like Parker and his face looks a hell of a lot better than Terry's.
Cos he's from sarf lahndan innit
He looks delightfully British in that picture (take that as you will). His hair is such a throwback.
Yeah, he climbed a stack amongst other things. He definitely is a good hype man -- he just has a poor voice IMO. Not very pleasant to listen to.

His hair is pretty good I'll give him that, it's just his face. Still not as annoying as Rio's Lana Del Rey duck face but still quite annoying.

¡Vamos México! Let's get the three points today.
I was so excited when he was being mooted for Doctor Who...
Anyone excited about seeing Greece tonight ? I am. If they don't win this, then no second round : [
I must admit England wasn't too bad yesterday. France were a handful as well, happy for Nasri scoring as he gets trolled too often. Lescott's header was great.
Still, best game yet was Spain - Italy.
Wilbury, Prometheus was great, but I think about it like it's better than I thought it was. I'll never forget that
scene. One of my favorite movie scenes, period.
