Interesting Defensive stats

[SouthAfricaRed]

Ok - Some Stats for competitive games this season

Goals conceeded with

RB - Finnan - Games - 11 - Goals - 12
RB - Kromkamp - Games - 1 - Goals - 1

CB - Agger - Games - 8 - Goals - 6
CB - Carra - Games - 9 - Goals - 11
CB - Hyypia - Games - 7 - Goals - 9

CB Pairs - Carra/Hyypia - Games - 4 - Goals - 7
CB Pairs - Carra/Agger - Games - 5 - Goals - 4
CB Pairs - Hyypia/Agger - Games - 3 - Goals -2

LB - Riise - Games - 5 - Goals - 5
LB - Warnock - Games - 3 - Goals - 2
LB - Aurelio - Games - 4 - Goals - 6

From these Agger should be First on the team List

[Rosco]

So we concede goals no matter who plays.

[dom9]

That doesn't say a lot at this stage of the season.

[Rich]

Yeah, good effort but doesn't really tell us that much, other than we are conceding far too many goals at the moment!

[SouthAfricaRed]

That doesn't say a lot at this stage of the season.

Except that With Agger at CB, we conceded less goals in 8 games than Hyypia / Carra did in 4 games together.

[Mumsafan]

Yes.

If someone can be arsed it would be interesting to see the stats on the back 4 combinations.

Finnan______Carra______Agger________Riise

Finnan______Carra______Agger________Warnock

Finnan______Carra______Agger________Aureilio

Finnan______Carra______Hyypia________Riise

etcetcetc.

Im actually surprised that a goal has been conceded in every game that Riise has played in on average.

[Mumsafan]

Yes that Riise point is a good one cos last season he was playing in nearly every game with a clean sheet

I would like to see a longer run of games before deriving any kind of insight from these stats. In research lingo, the sample simply isn't big enought to derive anything useful.

Of that there is no doubt but one would assume we are a stronger defensive unit with Finnan, Carra and Riise in the back 4 - Hyypia V Agger is up for debate as both offer different things to the game.

[Morph]

or should it be Hyypia v Carra?

[SouthAfricaRed]

Finnan Carra Agger Riise = G - 1 Gls - 1
Finnan Carra Agger Warnock = G -2 Gls - 1
Finnan Carra Agger Aurelio = G - 2 Gls -2

Finnan Carra Hyypia Riise = G - 2 Gls - 3
Finnan Carra Hyypia Warnock = G - 0
Finnan Carra Hyypia Aurelio = G - 1 Gls - 3

Finnan Hyypia Agger Riise = G - 1 Gls - 0
Finnan Hyypia Agger Warnock = G - 1 Gls 1
Finnan Hyypia Agger Aurelio = G - 1 Gls -1

Kromkamp Carra Hyypia Riise = G - 1 Gls -1



Maybe us having 9 different combinations in back 4 in 12 games is part of the Problem

[puredale]

Finnan Carra Agger Riise = G - 1 Gls - 1
Finnan Carra Agger Warnock = G -2 Gls - 1
Finnan Carra Agger Aurelio = G - 2 Gls -2

Finnan Carra Hyypia Riise = G - 2 Gls - 3
Finnan Carra Hyypia Warnock = G - 0
Finnan Carra Hyypia Aurelio = G - 1 Gls - 3

Finnan Hyypia Agger Riise = G - 1 Gls - 0
Finnan Hyypia Agger Warnock = G - 1 Gls 1
Finnan Hyypia Agger Aurelio = G - 1 Gls -1

Kromkamp Carra Hyypia Riise = G - 1 Gls -1

[Shaggy]

or should it be Hyypia v Carra?

Ive mentioned that on other forums and been put down a notch. DOnt want to enter here in the same vein. There is a very big case for Agger and Sami rather than Carra and Agger. Big Sami is the only one with a commanding aerial ability. Agger is more like Carra than Sami that is for sure but how can one drop Carra.
