Which Keeper?

[CroJack]

Educate me, guys. When is a pass not a pass? To any back - pass? A yard over the head of L/R wing - not pass?
Is the key factor whether or not the ball leaves the ground?
Is there a statto book of definitions I should read?

Everything that is not a shot, a clearance or a tackle is a pass. Long balls, crosses, throw-ins and corner-kicks are passes. Also free-kicks if you don't shoot from a free-kick.

When you shoot, make a clearance or tackle your intention is not to pass the ball to your own player.

You can see here our passes against Rotherham:

Thanks, CJ, I'm gob smacked. I can't imagine what a job it must be to collect this data.
All these years all I've ever done is watch a match and hope to enjoy.
The passes with no direction? I guess the one that was neither left nor right was vdH's chip over the defence for Oli to run onto.

Yes, very time consuming I would think, but make interesting reading. and a thanks from me also CJ.

Reading potters comments there will be no change today.
If there was a change people would say Nordfeld made a mistake.
After all he only cost us 3 points!!!

Opta has a tracking software that collects data and does the job for them. It's not a manual work.
I don't care about stats when I'm watching the game, just enjoying.

Good, bad, or lucky charm ... as long as he keeps that up we're going to keep harvesting points.
