stats are stats and looking at those they mean nothing. 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.

Very professional approach last I think. This is the type of Cup game that was made for us to lose. Sutton, Newport and Histon etc especially with Man U connection. I thought at one stage with our usual lion's share of possession that we might, yet again, fail to make it count, but I was wrong. MB

Most of the game Phillips sat in midfield with noone anywhere near him. 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 nece

True. Thought the off the ball movement from Costa and Eddie was excellent for the first goal, as was shack’s pass. This is going to be an obstacle for us to overcome in most games. Teams will sit deep, pack the box and try to hit us on the break. I thought Phillips had a decent game, Alioski l

If you don't try difficult things and occasionally fail (16%) then what's the point. Perhaps some of the 16% did cause problems but that's what the other 10 players are for and Bielsa isn't going to criticise him for that. I think Dave made the point that comparing Batty to Macca was pointless a

I think it’s a fair point. You’d think that Forshaw’s passing stats would look quite good because all he ever does is pass slowly sideways and backwards. Sometimes he even manages to mess that up though. I imagine if Kalvin is attempting risky long range passes it’s because Bielsa has told him t
