Stats 7,156 Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Yes, I am sure winning a converted penalty is counted as an assist. Rightly so IMO, they created a goalscoring chance so must be counted as an assist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rightly so IMO, they created a goalscoring chance so must be counted as an assist.I disagree with it because things get too muddled. Is getting fouled and then your team scores on the ensuing free kick from an assist? Is winning a corner that leads to a goal an assist? For me, an assist is a deliberate pass that leads directly to a goal. Penalties won is obviously incredibly important and should just be its own category.

nullabletype 987 Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 When AVB was shipped out I hoped he would find a new club and go on to do well. Proving that had we of stuck by him, and given him the long term opportunity he was promised, we could of done great.Obviously since then, things have worked out quite well for us. But unfortunately, AVB decided to go the Spurs...Now I absolutely can't have him. So this is a must win. I honestly think we'll do it too. :blue scalf: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must pass from corner if you want to score. i don't know how could you say a penalty and a corner is the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How is a corner different from a free kick? And the free kick thing is very problematic. If you get fouled and then the set piece is a beautiful pass that gets headed in, you no longer get the assist but if the set piece results directly in a goal, you do even though you actually did nothing different. It just gets ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milan 17,964 Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 So, Spurs beat Villa 2-0 in the end...A 5-point Villa wasn't really a tough opponent for them. Hopefully, we will give them a completele different sort of game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ollie 4,400 Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Glad there's a break before then tbh, we can now relax for a couple of weeks, sitting on top of the league and pretty relaxed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just gets ridiculous.How is that ridiculous? If Hazard misses his goal yesterday off the post, and Torres is there to put it back in, Mata would not get the assist. Same thing for the free kick. You're setting the free kick taker up for a goal. If someone scores on the header from the set piece, the person who won the kick did not assist him. If you win the corner for your team, you're not the last person to touch the ball. Just like the header free kick, you become the 3rd player in the process. If you're the last person to touch the ball before someone scores in the opponents half of the field, generally you're getting the assist. If you're not, no assist. I'm not sure how that's muddled or ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Mikel OBE 4,920 Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Robbing Fulham of Dempsey and Dembele seems to have changed their fortunes. I am somewhat nervous of this match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase 43,479 Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 It's against AVB, he'll find the legs trust me.Easy to say that. It's one thing to have the desire and determination, it's another to be able to do it especially when Lampard is nowhere near as dynamic and mobile as he was 2-3 years ago.
