Ross Barkley

What constitutes a dribble? Is anything beyond 5 steps with the ball under control a dribble? Would that include walking? Do you have to have beaten a man? Does it count as a dribble if you run 10 yards and then get tackled and you get broken on? Because that would be a pretty useless dribble wouldn't it? Are you still even reading this?

Do you know @davek ?

For me the only stats you should look at for an attacking midfielder are goals and assists, really should be this simple.

Nah, I need to know how many defenders they run past before smashing it out for a throw in. That's the sign of a good attacking player.

From OPTA:

Dribbles/Take-ons

"This is an attempt by a player to beat an opponent in possession of the ball. A successful dribble means the player beats the defender while retaining possession, unsuccessful ones are where the dribbler is tackled."

Nonsense stat really isn't it mate?

Some are more nonsensical than others. When Barkley is taking on opponents LESS THAN TWICE THE AMOUNT OF TIMES PER GAME HE HAS IN HIS PREMIER LEAGUE CAREER then that is statisticaly significant.

Creating more goal scoring opportunities than the previous 2 seasons (nearly double the 2014/2015 total) with about a quarter of the season still to go is as well isn't it though mate

Yes, what a terrible player that makes him Dave.
You watch Barkley from your world and I'll continue to admire and support him in the face of ridiculous criticism from a lot of my fellow Evertonians.

Goal scoring opportunities. Oh Lordy, I wonder what the definition of that is...someome walloping the ball downfield 70 yards, deflecting off the head of a defender into the path of a forward and then in.

Roll up, roll up! Come and get your useless stats!!

You're missing the point by a country mile.

Negged is the lexicon of GrandOldTeam.com

You seem to be a very angry person I have noticed. Dave makes some valid points about Improving Massively and you abused him for no reason.
