cleverley's career passing accuracy is 87% - herrera is on 80%. is it possible that 80 is higher than 87? grin

bebe was the highest scoring portugese player in portugal last season. he scored 12 league goals in total - same as rooney has managed this season yet bebe is a winger.

didn't you see where i wrote herrera is the better player? the hyperbole that herrera is better than cleverley in everything was what i rebutted.

But most of cleverly's passes are safe passes not penetrating passes

so only penetrative passes count? grin
blind's assist for herrera on saturday was a cut-back which would count as a backward pass - and yet it led to a goal.

all passes weigh equally - as long as it's completed.

Herrera average for us is 89%. More so he makes more passes per match than Cleverley did for us. Herrera makes a pass every 1.2 mins while Cleverley made a pass every 1.4 min.

Assist in Man United
Herrera 4 Assist in 1239 minutes.
Cleverley 3 Assists in 3561 minutes.


Key pass
Herrera is 72.9mins/key pass in Man United
Cleverley 76.6 mins/key pass. using 2012/13 season

Now tell me who is the better passer. Iniester and Xavi don't just go about making passes for passing sake. Check their Assists and key passes when they were still in their prime. Iniester with 16 Assists in one season. Iniester 47min/key pass, Xavi 50min.key pass.

cleverley clocked 90% several times under SAF - including european games. he's the better passer of the ball. statistics say so.

Herrera 4 Assist in 1239 minutes.
Cleverley 3 Assists in 3561 minutes.

assist is for amateurs!


Key pass

herrera plays in a more advanced position while cleverley was in the pivot in 12/13 season. even then, the difference is marginal.

if united had messi(90 goals per year) in their team when cleverley was there, his key pass stat would be under 30 mins. messi scores from any part of the pitch, you want to compare messi to rooney?

Why wont he make 90% when you said he played in same zone as Smalling, where passes are made to Van Der Sar or DDG? grin or passes to and from Fedinand and Vidic. If Heerera played with Scholes, he would make 94%.

coogar:

Iniester, Favregas, Ozil, Di Maria are amateurs, you mean? grin

coogar:

I pulled out 2012/13 season when probably he had his best season in a Man United title winning side, yet he fell short. If Herrera played in that team of Ferguson, with Scholes and a sharper Carrick beside him, he would have done far more.

coogar:

Messi had 163 shots
RVP had 141 shots.

Barca had 524 total shots
Man United had 554 total shots.

Remember, key passes are gotten from shots. Therefore, from the above figures, Clevereley ought to even had more key passes than Xavi and Iniester.

how come carrick doesn't have 94%? grin



Iniester, Favregas, Ozil, Di Maria are amateurs, you mean? grin

using assist stats to measure creativity is for amateurs.

or he could have been shipped back to bilbao. fergie's teams were more cavalier. he encouraged his players to take more risk passes. if cleverley was still here, his passing stat would be 97%. his passing stats in the few games he played under van gaal stands at 90% - and we didn't even win those games.



Messi had 163 shots
RVP had 141 shots.

there's a difference of 22 shots in that stat. no premier league player has assisted 22 league goals in the last 10 seasons. so you have shot yourself in the foot.


Barca had 524 total shots
Man United had 554 total shots.

this even helps my point. so messi had 163 shots alone from barca's 524 shots? that's almost 3 to 1. how many goals did messi score that season? so if cleverley has a player that takes more than 1/3 of the shots taken by the team, how many key-passes do you think he would have? surely, it would be more than what he got at united.

logic 101.


Remember, key passes are gotten from shots. Therefore, from the above figures, Clevereley should have had more key passes than Xavi and Iniester.

Checkmate!

useless logic....
what about the number of minutes played by cleverley? what about the level of the opponents faced? hell, what about the position the respective position of the players in consideration?

no arguments on this

looking ahead to the City game. we can't afford to drop any points @ this stage. the confidence is high, the belief is there. a win against City will see us visit Stamford Bridge with all the courage any elite force pressed to corner can muster grin grin grin

I hope we can achieve this health record lately in the squad throughout next season. the world will know Manchester United is back to base.

herrera's career passing accuracy - 80%

cleverley's career passing accuracy - 87.5%

elampawa, you really shot yourself in the foot on this one. cleverley passes the ball so much better than herrera. herrera has never clocked 90% in his career - cleverley had several 90% passing stats - it's his second nature.

coogar u are confusing urself
. d key pass u have there is chances created. thats from whoscored data.

Assists for goals are irrelavant to this.

Also I have already taken Cleverly stat down to per mins and he fell behind Xavier and imiester, while united has a better per minute than barca

you are the one confusing yourself na.
i said if cleverley had a striker like messi in his team who takes about 33% of the total shots taken by the entire team and scores at least 1/3 of the shots taken then cleverley's key pass or assist stat would be higher.

you then went on to show stats that messi took 22 more shots than van persie that had 38/38 league game appearance. it means messi was more effective than van persie that season & he took more shots in less number of minutes than van persie. cleverley in their team would cop more assists/key passes.


Also I have already taken Cleverly stat down to per mins and he fell behind Xavier and imiester, while united has a better person minute than barca

no, you didn't tabulate the shots of messi/RVP per min. that was where you hid the lie. besides, why are we comparing cleverley to iniesta/xavi. i thought the comparison was with herrera abi na barca herrera dey play?

secondly - the player closest to cleverley's role in barca would be busquets. try compare like for like. my initial assertion was cleverley passes the ball better than herrera & their historical passing stats have proven me right.

anything beyond that is you grappling at straws.
