Re: Official Nabil Bentaleb Thread
Agreed. So far this season:
Bentaleb is completing 72 passes per 90 minutes
Dembele is completing 53 passes per 90 minutes
Sandro is completing 47 passes per 90 minutes
Paulinho is completing 42 passes per 90 minutes
Compared to the other top teams:
Arteta is completing 72 passes per 90 minutes
Yaya is completing 68 passes per 90 minutes
Carrick is completing 65 passes per 90 minutes
Ramsey is completing 64 passes per 90 minutes
Lucas is completing 63 passes per 90 minutes
Gerrard is completing 62 passes per 90 minutes
Barry is completing 60 passes per 90 minutes
Cleverley is completing 60 passes per 90 minutes
Fernandinho is completing 50 passes per 90 minutes
Lampard is completing 48 passes per 90 minutes
McCarthy is completing 47 passes per 90 minutes
Ramires is completing 42 passes per 90 minutes
This seems to be a fairly common view, and certainly it's a good midfield partnership. I remain concerned that in terms of passing that's a fairly poor partnership.
Apart from Chelsea under Mourinho (who had one of the best target men in the league in Drogba and used him a lot) which top teams have been successful with a midfield partnership that's as limited as those two in terms of passing and passing tempo?
