Alright GAF since youre being smug fucks, im gonna pull a doicare here and ask you to point out to me where Im wrong.

Show me another CM with better passing statistics than Kroos during the WC or this last season. Comparing a defender which has to play simple passes from back to front is one of the silliest things Ive seen on here.

WC avg passes? DDR is 106 and Pirlo is 90. But it's hard to compare players in the WC since they only play a handful of games.

Season (not in order):
Xavi
Bastian
Matuidi
Busquets
Verratti
Motta
Roberto Trash

and remember, Kroos is in a PEP tiki taka team.

So next year we could have Iturbe ('93), Morata ('92), Coman ('96) and Berardi ('94) in our squad. Pretty cool, I think. All that's missing is Verratti. :(

Who do you support? Any reason for just lurking?

I support and i'm from Liverpool. I've been trying to post over the past couple of weeks like, but it's like a forum adaptation of mean girls in here sometimes. I don't like to argue about football as much as discussing it, i dunno, its nice to see other fans perspectives rather than just the ones around this city i suppose.

I thought you meant this season but then I read Berardi :'(

Oh right, Mascherano is in midfield now! Add him too then

How do you know Kroos isn't passing backwards m8? His chances created aren't that great iirc.(here's hoping I am remembering correctly lol)

Didn't know stats were this big of a deal to you Pulga.

Combined with % please, eh? Keep on spinning bro, anyway dont bother:

Top Midfielders according to Squawka

More assists than anyone
Second only to Ozil in key passes (b- but i thought his chances arent that great)
Top Avg Pass Length (clearly not only playing short passes to the side or back)
Highest accuracy + Most passes played

So many news sources and other general internet ITK's have been so wrong about Sanchez's announcement. Since the start of the week the announcement has always been coming "today or tomorrow!"

Today is the day people! Anyone with any sort of business skills should know and understand that with a kit launch you want pictures to be all over the web / newspapers. What better way than having a marquee signing coming out on stage to model the new kit, someone that is going to get the back pages in many newspapers! Puma have already had the kit(s) leaked all over the internet and possibly in newspapers, so the kit launch tonight probably isnt going to grab many column inches by itself, but I guarantee you that tomorrow morning, 80% of the back pages in the UK will be a picture of Sanchez in the new Puma Kit.

My absolute prediction: Either Sanchez will the be first player out to model the kit or it will be a "one more thing" type scenario.

Hhhnnngg it's like E3 predictions

OMG he acrually only looked at the WC games.

Mikel and Bradley are in that list hahahahahahahahahaha.

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

pulg, I have no horse in this stupid race of yours. All I'm saying is that passing means nothing in the grand scheme of things.

or you know, just ask the Bayern fans about him.
 
Sneijder - "The players who took a penalty took their responsibility. If you don't take one, you can't miss, right?"

Wonder who these pussies were. Never change, Holland.

Never took you for a stats whore. Xavi must be your all time favourite player.

Late for work because you couldn't bring yourself to stop arguing on NeoGAF hahahaha

Im not, but what better way is there to argue how a CM ala Kroos, Xavi, Gerrard, etc. contributes to the game? Stats exist for a reason. Key passes, Pass #, Pass success %, etc. can paint a picture.

Has van Gaal said why Ron Vlaar took the first one? Or why Huntelaar was always left so late (presumably fifth against Costa Rica and then either fourth or fifth last night)?

Something about two players not wanting to go first, so Vlaar went ahead.

Think he said 2 players refused to go first and then he chose Vlaar as first because he had played a great match and his confidence was high.

Sorry to mention God's name in this debate. But Totti has always has average passing completion stats because he tries passes that others players can't possibly see or pull off. Xavi and others play way too many safe and unspectacular passes that go nowhere. Stats only ever tell half the story.

"I asked two players to take the first kick before ending up with Vlaar. I thought he was the best player on the pitch so should have a lot of confidence."

Any of you geniuses want to help me with my computer?

It won't boot, at one point it said "bad bios checksum", the rest of the time it gets to the windows screen with the loading bar and goes black (which I don't think it should do if the bios aren't POSTing?).

All I did was let Windows Update install something before I turned it off last night. Nothing else changed. Help.

Of course, but here we go again comparing two different positions innit
