Crikey - someone else was actually watching the game and not just looking at the stats.

During the game I told the boy I could sit there and do that too and give the ball away less (some hyperbole there of course). With Rich a bit here, stats do not tell everything. 100 short passes looks great and is not necessarily a bad thing but when 4/5 through balls go straight to the other side and sets up their attack there is nothing wrong with pointing that out.

Of course you don’t like facts and stats that contradict your opinions, who does, but just ignoring them and accusing others of getting upset is a bit rich (pun intended). If you think 16% is “frequent” in the context of a fast flowing match against committed (albeit limited) opponents, can you give us an example of the stats you would expect from an ABOVE average player, one that would reduce the pain you say you feel from watching one of our most improved and committed players? C’mon Rich, we all know your schtick on here & Twitter is to be angry and contrarian to wind people up, but you’re amongst friends here, just once, just for us, crack and smile and gives us a WHOOP – promise we won’t tell anyone.

For instance they don't include his shot that went over the stand in the first half. I'd prefer to go with what I saw and overall I thought Philips did ok with a definite improvement in the second half with one or two really good passes. First half though, he was dreadful. His passing was all over the place, frequently giving the ball away (that must have been the 16% inaccurate passes). The most worrying thing is when he got done for pace by Towell and you could see he just didn't have the acceleration to recover. I like Philips, he's a local lad and he's doing ok at this moment in time but let's have a reality check. Some fans are saying he could be England captain whereas I think he's a good championship player and would struggle in the PL. It makes me laugh when fans get all upset when you point out a player's faults in a match and get all abusive and start crying particular on Twitter however there are 1 or 2 snowflakes on here. Come on, grow up FFS.
