TorontoChelsea 4,064 Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Stats provide some sort of basis for comparison, but it needs to be on level terms. They rarely tell the full story. Since they (Kagawa and Hazard) are different players who never played in the same league, comparing stats is redundant but can make some people sleep better in their hopeful dreams.I love statistics but you're right, you can only compare like versus like. I particularly like the EA PPI as it takes into account so many different statistics, but even that is flawed. I think Hazard is a better fit for Chelsea as he can give creative width which Chelsea have been lacking and Kagawa actually makes more sense for ManU because he is a central player which is what they need. We'll check back in a couple of years to see how they've performed. (Although, I am sure there will be a game by game overreaction..."Hazard had a poor game, he sucks. Hazard scored, greatest player in the world!", and so on...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wavy Crockett 190 Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Why?because I believe there are better players out there like Hazard and Chelsea can't sign all of emalso unsure if he would fit into our team and I'm sceptical about asian players in the PL in general Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneMoSalah 8,887 Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Ramires' sending off in CL second leg, blatant penalty (Evra) in closing stages of first leg, 2 offside goals at OT last year, atleast one penalty at the bridge - just off the top of my head.Was crazy how Evra got away with that penalty foul thing on Rami, I was fucking roaring at my tv for like 3 hours after!

manpe 10,861 Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Hence the reason I said only half the story is told by stats. The don't reveal the influence of a deflection, penalty, foul, free kick, corner, red card, yellow card, injuries, weather, home or away, team, postion, teammates, et alI was agreeing with you.

Kojo 4,676 Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Only ones I remembered are the CL home game and the 2 games last season. 1 penalty that should have been but wasn't given. 2 offside goals. And 2 non-penalties that was given!Don't you mean the CL Away game when we lost 2-1?, because the CL home game we lost 1-0 but should of had a penalty and a red card for Evra as it was a goal scoring oppertunity. The next game Javier Hernandez was offside and it was shown he was but it was hard for the linesman to see so it would of been a very very good decision.
