communicate 2,703 Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Here's a funny stat:Hazard has 62% dribble success and completed 99 dribbles this season.Di Maria "a better dribbler than Hazard" has 37% dribble success and completed 22 dribbles this season.LOL Comparing incomparable.Hell, even Cesc, who's much slower than Di Maria and doesn't dribble much, has 68% dribble success.A smart footballer knows his limits and wouldn't needlessly lose the ball. Poor decision-making from Di Maria.Di Maria "a better dribbler than Hazard", LOL who said that. Everybody knows Di Maria is a more of a runner rather than a dribbler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poor decision-making from Di Maria.In 2010 the player with the most completed dribbles in Bundesliga was Marco Marin. In the 2011/2012 season the player with the most dribbles completed in EPL was Victor Moses followed by Junior Hoilett. Those stats are nice but don't really tell how great a player is.Still Hazard is probably the best player in the league right now. Sanchez and Agüero are close. They are superior in goals/asists and can decide games iwth a moment of brilliance, but Hazard has something else, that does not show in stats. Game for game, his confidence inspires team mates, his magic drives chaos into any defence, his universal talent benefits his teammates more than himself. zolayes and iseah100 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Game for game, his confidence inspires team mates, his magic drives chaos into any defence, his universal talent benefits his teammates more than himself.I never mentioned anything about the greatness of a player. The thing is, some people claimed back in the summer that Di Maria is the better dribbler than Hazard. That's what I was addressing. Being a better dribbler has nothing to do with being a better player(though, in this case, Hazard is really a better player than Di Maria).Actually, I think it's pretty unfair that fast footballers with great dribbling skills get more praise than intelligent passmasters and tactically brilliant DMs. Talent isn't just the ability to take on players. Talent can be different. And being a great dribbler doesn't necessarily make the footballer a great player--or a better player than someone who doesn't possess great dribbling skills.

Fernando 6,595 Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 I would take mirallas for Salah. That will help improve our quality for rotational players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCS1984 28 Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 RIP Sir Jack Hayward of Wolves.Watching him with his team like Jack Walker with Blackburn always brought a smile to me, their love and passion for their team and city could never be doubted.A fantastic man and a credit to himself and football at all times :blue scalf: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLyon 9,359 Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Dont know why dont we try to sign players like Mirallas, Sissoko or Schneiderlin,...those players would improve our bench big time. We have good team, but someone like Mirallas would be so much more useful than Salah or Schurrle when we need to win. He is 27, can play any attacking position, and PL experienced. Plus he is belgian and everton are struggling, why not a cheeky bid for him? Also he was (I read that somewhere) top long range scorer in PL with 4 goals in 2014.It would suit Mou much more than some young talent like Salah who needs regular play in order to improve. iseah100 and Blue-in-me-Veins 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
