Not that I am claiming he was poor or anything, far from it. Put in a very useful shift. But we dont need to fall for people on twitter fabricating stats or making them look better than they really are.

Throwing this up here. The guy posting it is raving about Frenkie de Jong in the Eredivisie, but completely ignoring one Harry Winks embarrassing the rest of Europe while playing in a supposedly broken Spurs team.
I don't disagree, and people did point this out to him. No reply was forthcoming, as yet.How do he translate "seconds per carry" into "tempo controller".
What direction is the carry? Is there output at the end of the carry, does he complete the pass & if so where does the pass go? Is the carry speeding up the tempo or slowing it down? Is slowing up or speeding up the tempo good in the context of when it was done?
This isn't denying de Jong BTW (or Winks or looking at that chart Dier), de Jong is one of the best young footballers I have ever seen but I find charts like this utterly pointless without any context.
Dier though!!I don't disagree, and people did point this out to him. No reply was forthcoming, as yet.
Nevermind Dier, Sissoko and then a ways back Eriksen as well! That's like 4 guys in a random category that seeming just measures time on the ball.Dier though!!
Some stats are just useless. Seconds per carry? Stupid way of measuring a player.Throwing this up here. The guy posting it is raving about Frenkie de Jong in the Eredivisie, but completely ignoring one Harry Winks embarrassing the rest of Europe while playing in a supposedly broken Spurs team.
I don't disagree about the oddness of this particular stat. But as far as not thinking anyone is Europe is embarrassed by Winks, I beg to differ. At this point he's been the standout midfielder in games againt Real Madrid, Dortmund, and Man City. I think that regardless of the style our midfield has had this year, Winks has shown the tools of a very high-level player, and done it against some of the best peers in the game.Some stats are just useless. Seconds per carry? Stupid way of measuring a player.
Also our midfield usually is not very good at controlling the game. Dont think anyone in europe is embarassed by Winks. Our strengths lie in being able to counter and the attacking talent not passing the ball around dominating teams.
Any info on whether he'll be fit for Saturday?
As hard as it is, we need to get last night out of our heads and focus on the weekend.
I'd take a point.
I think it's likely.
I'd personally rest him and get him ready for Brighton. We're going to need to wrap key players in cotton wool between now and the semi final.
I'd play him. in my view the semi is too far away to worry about at the moment.
We need at least a point from Saturday.
With Sissoko potentially out as well, Dier's status is important too.
We need league points to secure CL next season.
Mate should take one for the team and suit up. We need him.
