I think Sanchez had double the shots on target% than Giroud last season. But that means nothing. It fails to take into account the space created by messi compared to Giroud not having a talented teammate than Sanchez. Giroud had more pressure on him being a lone striker in a team that did not get many other players in the box at times. Giroud would have had to work harder to get those shots of compared to Sanchez.

Stats in football give false impressions about what really is taking place.

Totti was taught by Zemen that you need to get the ball into the back of the net as quickly as possible and that hashelped shape his football philosophy. While Xavi was raised the barca way and keeping the ball was valued.

Totti tries more risky passes and and as a result has a worse pass completion %. But Totti can pass just as good as Xavi, , but their different upbringings would make you think that xavi is a far superior passer because of stats.

Nothing you have said proves stats are meaningless.

When looking at statistics you can take context into consideration.

Got 7zip thanks guys works a treat, FM time!

ed- DISCLAIMER I did not steal FM.

 

[Arnie]

Get Remy in. Solid lad. Get Davies in. Growing lad. Get Lovren in. Croatian lad.

Get a marquee in. Shelter the other lads from pressure.

Spend next season making lads turn their head saying, "But they lost that Suarez, he was world class he was. And they bought Ben Davies. How's this happened?"

Be jokes.

Can't believe Ronaldo's mum has written an autobiography in which she says she wanted to have an abortion.

What a world we live in.

How old was he when she wanted to do it?

 

[cartoon_soldier]

Updated team...bit better.

Where are the Ramseys/Barkey's of last year this time around?

 

[Shanks D Zoro]

They are meaningless because they paint a false picture. In football no two situations are the same and using stats to try and an judge players pand teams is pointless.

Done, 3 year contract though, presumably an option for a 4th or something (Via ChelseaFC.com)

On signing, the 28-year-old said: 'This move is a dream come true for me. I now have the opportunity to play for Chelsea, and also in the Premier League.

‘I’m very happy and looking forward to getting started and giving my best for the team during the coming seasons.’

Welcome to Stamford Bridge, Filipe Luis!

I'll add another picture because you all know you want to see what he looks like with a pen in his hand

 

[sohois]

Surely Suarez counted for a lot of Liverpool's shots, on and off target.

Yes, he did. But of course you can't just substitute his shots from Liverpool's total and use that, since that would basically make an assumption that Liverpool played with 10 men for this season.

Diaby.

It's weird watching Dota 2 on espn 3.

 

[Shatner's Bassoon]

Assumed Luis would get the number 3 shirt.

Lol wtf?

 

[Arnie]

Felipe Luis is terrifyingly ugly.

 

[LanceVance]

Luis looks like a goblin

 

[wedward]

I hope he plays like shit.

Probably end up being one of the best left backs in the league.

20m for a 28 year old left back. That just shows a lack of respect for the world we live in.

 

[arkon]

I thought it was Ed Byrne

Well, it is euros... also we mostly only buy shit strikers, most of our players are usually at least alright!

Assumed Luis would get the number 3 shirt.

Saving that for Varanne

Spoiler

or Pogba if he wants it

 

[Zabojnik]

Welcome to Stamford Bridge, Felipe Luis!

Look at that face. It has one season wonder written all over it. The Luciano/Eriberto look of "holy shit I somehow made it". (SerieAfaces will know what I'm talking about.)

 

[Yurt]

Don't you want to finger his dimples?

I thought it was Ed Byrne

ARKON! I liked Berserk! Are you proud of me now? 😊😘

 

[Salvadora]

Should Mourinho be sacked if he has another trophyless season?

No excuses now.

 

[Shatner's Bassoon]

Admittedly he is not as gorgeous or young as Costa.

 

[Steverulez]

If we win the title in that season I won't mind. He does need a haircut though

He won't need to be sacked.

He will leave town if he goes trophyless. Said so himself.

 

[Timurid]

Lol wtf?

They're airing every match from now to the final on espn 3 and there going to air the preview of the final on espn 2.

Pogba will get the 8 shirt.

[Blablurn]

This is cool. From the new FIFA.

 

[Ushojax]

Greg Stobart says Davies wants to joins Liverpool and that they are willing to pay £10m.

That's the end of that one then.

 

[Zabojnik]

That season was 2013/14, I'm afraid.

Spoiler

I'm joking. Top signing, IF he plays for Chelsea like he did for Atletico.

 

[WJD]

Looks like they've updated the lighting finally.

 

[Arnie]

I like Davies.

He's no Moreno.

But after the Bertrand links he feels like Luke Shaw.

What a waste of resources

[Shanks D Zoro]

I wonder if they will have the Emirates a quarter empty at the start of each half.

 

[Perfect Blue]

.

We ever going to see Costa in a Chelsea shirt?

 

[Slizz]

This is what I was waiting for

 

[Steverulez]

Pogba will get the 8 shirt.

Good point. I would have thought Cesc might want it but he's number 4, someone on twitter said Zouma took the number 3 shirt, not sure about that though, purely because I thought they decided to loan him?

Courtois has been added to our official squad list too now. Its all coming together, treble is on its way

 

[Shatner's Bassoon]

We ever going to see Costa in a Chelsea shirt?

Next week when he joins up with training I guess.

Liverpool are stealing Spurs targets at the 11th hour, we have now come full circle.

 

[ATF487]

Also heard that Davies wanted to go to Tottenham because he would have a bigger guarantee of first team football.

Good ol' muppet season.

Also Sigurdsson is a great signing for Palace

 

[Yurt]

We signed Carlos Blanco Moreno from Barcelona and Pereyra from Udinese

Barca GAF, FF..Tarazanpuyol..who's CBM?! I doubt he's any good if he's leaving your academy and coming here

I'm not sure how I feel about Pereyra, so random as fuck.

 

[Freewheelin']

And whisper-quiet too.

Most unimpressive home atmosphere I've ever experienced.

 

[Jarnet87]

Just saw the news that Lahm is retiring from International Football. Will be turning 31, going on 10 years with the National team and just won the World Cup. Can't fault him at all, and they will miss his leadership. Makes we wonder if Euro 2016 will be the last of Schweinsteiger.

 

[Shanks D Zoro]

Poor stadium design

 

[Arnie]

Aye, in addition to a match going fanbase of absolute fucking whoppers.

This tweet makes me so smiley:

"Sigurdsson in 2012 after joining Spurs-'I didn't go to LFC because Spurs are going places'. We're now in CL and he's joining Crystal Palace"

He musta meant Bale was going places.
