Good point, not sure how they have come to that conclusion re Lee's 'tackling' then, because he is v good at breaking things down. 

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!

Similar to a Googlewhack, I like sentences that have never before been uttered on our planet.

 

I think you have found one.

Can't wait for Biggs to interview him on his show.

They'd have a field day with Des Walker then. From memory he hardly ever went into a tackle, because he'd read the game and intercepted it.

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.

He's on his way!

 

lol

 

 

He certainly seems to be trying to manouvere a move as he also posted this a few weeks back. Followed by him liking a number of swfc posts from preseason games & posts from our players

Aston Villa are interested in signing Liverpool’s Sheyi Ojo, according to the Mirror.

The 20-year-old has been in high demand this summer transfer window after an impressive series of performances for the England U20s team. 

Wasn't he going to Fulham because he wants to move to London if hes going on loan?
