ZLF 261 Posted December 2, 2004 Posted as one of Normanns ''stato'' postsI see from the FAs stats city have 4 players in the top players and I was surprised to see that they are, in reverse order83 Fleming78 Francis61 Huckerbyand citys best stats player is...52nd place Simon Charlton.Very strange given the weakness in the air and number of goals being conceeded that our central defencive pairing; that I want to rip apart; clearly has performed well in someones eyes.Even odder is the fact that Charlie currently sits in 10th place in the competition for the worst premier passer. Down to the long ball game we play I have no doubt but a crown we need to keep clear of. Do we see Charlie as the worst passer at the club?Are we being over critical of our central defenders?Is Fleming really our 4th best player this season?Why no Greeno?Or is this a classic example of there are stats, damn stats and out right lies? I like to think sohttp://www.actim.pa.press.net/top100.shtmlOTBC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bananaman 0 Posted December 2, 2004 Regarding Greeno, I must say (carefully) that I don''t think he''s played as well as he could. He has made some astonishing saves, but also looked worried on a few crosses and blundered against Man City. I was really expecting him to make an "Arjen Robben" type impact on the premiership and have everyone talking about him.Fleming is only in that list because of Charlton, I reckon.
