Think it's done based on both the raw number of tackles he makes per game, and the % of successful tackles vs 'attempted'. Because Lees only averages 0.6 tackles per 90 minutes of footie, he's deemed bad at tackling. Of course, he only attempts on average 0.7. Very low number of attempts, very high success rate The 'strengths' and 'weaknesses' thing on whoscored can be handy as a quick snapshot, but they of course don't tell the whole story. We defend so compact that our CB's average far fewer tackles than most other teams', because we focus more on shutting the space and channels for interceptions rather than closing men down. Wasn't there that bizarre statistic from Carlos' first game in charge where neither of our CB's made a tackle for the whole 90 minutes? Add on the fact that, as has been said, Lees' game is more about intercepting the ball or blocking the ball rather than diving in and making tackles, and it explains why the algorithm thinks he's bad at tackling... he just never does it because it isn't his game! Also goes a long way to explaining why in 3 seasons he's only picked up 7 league bookings for us... he's so rarely putting his foot in that it's difficult for him to commit fouls!

Bloxwich Owl Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Wolves have joined Aston Villa and Watford in the race to sign former Atletico Madrid and Villarreal midfielder Gabriel Kunda Jr. The 24-year-old has been touted as a future world star, but has failed to live up to potential with various injuries and disciplinary issues halting his progress. Birmingham City are also interested in the free agent, but Wolves and Villa remain favourites to land the Zambian playmaker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Night-Owl Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 What a double signing announcement Bongani Zungu and Harlee Dean would make? The one's a wee pipe flashing Audrey Hepburn fan and the other has a similar name to a muck star I would imagine the double announcement would be announced late at night on Eurotrash or something?
