Wow.

He was my MOTM yesterday. One of the few players to keep his head in the first half. Less involved when the game turned, but over the 90 he was excellent again.

Haha that is a crazy stat.

Does highlight the importance of him (and others we have) in ensuring the very obvious fact that if the other team cannot get the ball they cannot score or at the very least have less chances to do so.

Those are the same as the stats I seen on another site. Both Thiago and Virg had the same scuuesssful passes, 108.

VVD with 106

– Dating back to when Opta started collecting the stats in 2003-04, only four players have completed 100 passes or more in a Premier League match against Manchester United. Two of those were Thiago Alcantara (104) and Virgil van Dijk (106) in the 4-0 thrashing. In contrast, United’s top passer was Nemanja Matic – the Serbian completed 33.

Considering the range of passes on offer, that is a remarkable stat. Even though Utd rolled over for us, it still doesn't take away from him performance.

I read his passing was 108/113 (96%), so I'm guessing computers can't even keep up with him.

No worlds left to conquer.

Would have been interesting to see if the remaining United fans joined in with the applause, cos sometimes you just have to recognise a player, no matter what shirt he wears. Any match-goers notice?
