Agreed.It's almost as if football is a team sport. And while individual stats are interesting, at the end of the day, they are completely pointless.
Centre backs (ours especially) have crazily high pass completion stats (you'd think they were Hoddle or Beckenbauer). In reality they pass it 10m sideways back and forth to each other.
Stats only have meaning to punters for a bet or for those desperate to support their argument (by any means possible), or to create pie charts.
Otherwise they're meaningless. As I've always said, believe the evidence of your eyes.
