Since when are facts optimistic or pessimistic? Facts are facts. What you make of those facts is another matter. This is the corrosive effect that Trump has had on public discourse.

Ha. Ok.

According to Fotmob he created one of three big chances and 3 chances overall.

Do you plan on doing any thinking of your own on the subject?

According to Fotmob he created one of three big chances and 3 chances overall. 8.1 match rating, 7.2 average for the season, joint best. Grimes is rarely brilliant but is consistently good to very good. And has been for 7 seasons.

I've offered plenty of my own thoughts on the subject of Grimes. Those thoughts are grounded in facts and reality.

From here it looks like you mostly parotting stats collated by someone else.

Are you expecting me to collate my own stats? Why does it matter who collates them?

This particular plum deals in facts - so I see your plum and raise you a turnip. By statistical definition the likes of Lampard would be more likely injured than a defensive midfielder.
I get you passionately dislike Matt Grimes - but don't blind yourself to his amazing availability statistics, otherwise you will look a bit of a errr nana

In soccer, midfielders and defenders are most often injured. Studies have shown that midfielders experience the highest injury frequency, followed by defenders. These positions require high-speed activities and intense gameplay, potentially increasing their risk of injury during the later stages of a game.
Midfielders experienced the highest injury frequency (43.6%), followed by defenders (30.0%), forwards (17.9%), and goalkeepers (8.6%)

That quote sounds a bit like AI which can get its figure from all sorts of unknown sources.

This is an interesting study on “Playing Position and the Injury Incidence Rate in Male Academy Soccer Players”, which deduces that “No association with playing position was observed for any injury type or location”, however it found injuries were “greater for centrally positioned players (particularly defenders) compared with those players occupying lateral or forward positions”.

Looks like it’s based on data of just over 1 season, so it’s possible that season was an anomaly. Having not gone though it all, I’m also not sure what surface the games were played on (grass or Astro) which could affect injury data.

Interesting though

You’re Dimi aren’t you? Got the Swans analysis gig but still need your guilty pleasure of arguing everyone else to sleep

Sorry to disappoint but I'm not Dimi. In fact I don't know who Dimi is.

God alive. Trump once said "if you stop testing for covid the cases go away" - does that now matter who collates them? Im really struggling with how hard of intellect you are.

She's asking "if he was shit, why are we still talking about him".

I can think of 2 answers.

1.We all agree in varying degrees that he was quite shit but we're now discussing "how shit" .

2. Mind your own fucking business.

It’s also between seasons, we have nothing else to talk about

It'd be a refreshing change if you explained why you rate Grimes (or indeed any other player) using examples of what you've seen. Good play that they've been a part of. Attributes that they bring to the side, instead of boring the pants off everyone by telling us what Fotmob thinks of them.

Nobody gives a shit if Ronald scores a 7.5 on Fotmob. They care whether he can beat a man with a cross. Whether he tracks back, how often he goes down unnecessarily. You know, the stuff that actually matters.

While at the same time optimistically calling them “facts”.

Well, they are facts. Extracting just two from the posts above. 1) Grimes had 21 passes into the final third. 2) none of them were worth a wank.

That’s statswang.

As an aside, when I played Swansea league, our full back John ‘killer’ Kiley, had 100% passes into the final third, all from his own third. All whanged towards the corner flag ‘into the channel’ where he would then scream at me to chase them with 0% success. A thing of statistical beauty.
