I've had fun this morning data-mining RFC Player Stats

I had zero idea just how prolific Meite has been (for starters)

"Bad Technique"

Alleged Poor First Touch



I can see how CBs often have easy passes and easy first touch so are low
but don't see how Ejaria, Olise, Swift and Joao can be so (allegedly) bad...

Highest Number Worst (This makes little sense!)

2.8 Lucas Joao

Is that correct, Liam Moore makes approx 2 tackles every 3 games or am I missing something?

https://www.whoscored.com/Players/90218/Show/Liam-Moore

He is very high (5th best in the division for BLOCKS) but
I'm not so sure he gets lots of actual tackles in, more
some tackles, some interceptions, some blocks.

0.2 George Puscas

That's how I read it and it's probably about right. Moore is more of a blocker and intercepting kind of defender rather than an out and out tackler.

KEY PASSES


No surprise to see Olise at the top, but Ejaria
pushing him hard. Yiadom high up the list.


1.9 Michael Olise

1.1 Andy Yiadom

0.1 Michael Morrison

[Snowball]

Passes per Game

No surprise to see the centre-backs high (Star-Ball) but
shocked and pleased to see Laurent leading the midfield
with Rhino, both ahead of Ejaria and Olise.

Richards shines too.

Swift lower than expected?

I think the stats are based on APPEARANCES so players getting lots of
last-ten-minutes sub-time will have falsely-weak figures

Meite and Puscas seemed to be one-eyed players, not passing that much!

53.9 Liam Moore
51.4 Josh Laurent
51.1 Michael Morrison

41.2 Omar Richards

39.6 Andy Rinomhota
37.3 Ove Ejaria
36.9 Michael Olise

35.5 Tom Holmes
35.3 Lewis Gibson
33.3 Tom McIntyre
31.5 Andy Yiadom
31.2 John Swift

24.1 Alfa Semedo

19.0 Tomas Esteves

16.0 Lucas Joao

13.2 Sone Aluko (False figures due to being sub?)

10.6 Yakou Meite

8.2 George Puscas

5.6 Sam Baldock (False figures due to being sub?)

[Snowball]

Aerials Won

3.9 Michael Morrison (The Man!)

3.2 Tom McIntyre

2.8 Liam Moore

2.5 Alfa Semedo... impressive

2.4 Yakou Meite

2.2 Lewis Gibson

2.0 Tom Holmes

1.8 Lucas Joao .... not great for a big man?

1.5 Josh Laurent

1.4 George Puscas

1.1 Andy Rinomhota

1.0 Andy Yiadom ... a deffo weakness IMO

0.8 Ove Ejaria .... I thought he was better than this.. seems to win a few subjectively)

0.7 Omar Richards .. seems our FBs have a weakness in the air


0.7 Michael Olise

0.4 Sam Baldock

0.3 John Swift

0.3 Tomas Esteves

0.1 Sone Aluko

[Snowball]

Minutes Played

Remember that we've played 40 League Games
= 3600 minutes plus about 160 minutes injury-time
= 3,760 Minutes so no ever-presents
and clearly too many injuries

3,459 Josh Laurent
3,208 Andy Rinomhota

3,045 Michael Morrison

2,856 Omar Richards
2,837 Michael Olise
2,799 Lucas Joao
2,736 Ove Ejaria

2,420 Liam Moore ----- our Captain has missed a third of the season
2,200 Tom Holmes

1,992 Alfa Semedo

1,555 Tom McIntyre

1,256 Yakou Meite (We would be higher if he'd played 3,000+ minutes, for sure)

1,110 Tomas Esteves

1,094 Andy Yiadom (We would be higher if he'd played 3,000+ minutes, for sure)

958 Sone Aluko
664 George Puscas
586 Lewis Gibson
563 John Swift
488 Sam Baldock

[Snowball]

Crosses per Game

Looking at this, it looks like a major deficiency

1.5 Michael Olise

0.5 Omar Richards
0.5 Ove Ejaria
0.5 Andy Yiadom

So that is about three crosses a game!!


0.4 Sone Aluko
0.4 John Swift

0.2 Tom Holmes
0.2 Tomas Esteves

0.1 Alfa Semedo
0.1 Tom McIntyre
0.1 Yakou Meite
0.1 Lewis Gibson
0.1 Sam Baldock

[Snowball]

Attacking
Dribbles


No surprise to see Ove at the top of the list, but Olise 5th
behind two full-backs and Lucas.

The much-maligned Aluko tends to show up in the top third for most things


2.6 Ove Ejaria

1.5 Andy Yiadom
1.5 Lucas Joao
1.4 Omar Richards

1.2 Michael Olise
1.0 Sone Aluko

0.9 John Swift
0.9 Yakou Meite
0.9 Josh Laurent

0.7 Tomas Esteves

0.4 Andy Rinomhota
0.4 George Puscas

0.3 Tom Holmes
0.3 Alfa Semedo
0.3 Tom McIntyre

0.2 Sam Baldock

0.1 Lewis Gibson
0.1 Liam Moore

0.0 Michael Morrison Well, Morr-aldo definitely had one dribble which led to a goal, so...

[Snowball]

Interceptions
per Game


1.5 Tom McIntyre ------ yay!

1.4 Josh Laurent
1.4 Lewis Gibson - - - - - -interesting

1.3 Omar Richards

1.1 Ove Ejaria - - - - another skill Ove has!
1.1 Andy Rinomhota

1.0 Tom Holmes - - - - very interesting to see our "raw" young CBs out-doing Moore and Morrison

0.9 Liam Moore
0.9 Michael Morrison

0.8 Alfa Semedo -- - - - - - unsung hero, IMO

0.7 Andy Yiadom

0.6 Michael Olise - - - - - - not enough?

0.6 Tomas Esteves - - - - - - a surprise?

0.4 Sone Aluko

0.2 Lucas Joao
0.2 John Swift
0.2 Yakou Meite
0.2 Sam Baldock

0.1 George Puscas

[Snowball]

Defensive
Dribble

ie: dribbling out of trouble in defence

1.2 Josh Laurent - - - - -an absolute star!

1.1 Alfa Semedo - - - - - told you he was an unsung hero

1.0 Ove Ejaria - - - - - - his defensive skills often overlooked

0.9 Michael Olise

0.7 Omar Richards
0.7 Sone Aluko

0.6 Tom Holmes

0.6 John Swift

0.6 Yakou Meite

0.5 Andy Yiadom

0.4 Andy Rinomhota

0.3 Michael Morrison
0.3 Tomas Esteves
0.3 Lucas Joao

0.2 Tom McIntyre
0.2 Liam Moore

0.1 Lewis Gibson
0.1 Sam Baldock
0.1 George Puscas

[Snowball]

Through-Ball

0.1 Ove Ejaria
0.1 Michael Olise
0.1 Omar Richards
0.1 Sam Baldock

That's it. Fair to say (if these stats are right)
that we could improve on this
