I know that sounds terrible, but his mere presence seems to drag every other players performance levels down.yankcitizen76 said:Sorry, I usually stay out of these topics.

Well yah got to start somewhere.

Doubt they move him till summer. Who'd want him.

He is fine as a substitute when we want to throw another player in the middle of the park.

An extreme example to be sure, but it's simply illustrative that some stats mean very little.
As I've said, he's suited to a midfield three and a squad player at that. We won't profit though trying to pin others' failures on him.
Surely you're not as simple as this. Different players are suited to different roles. Milner isn't very good centrally in a midfield three. He's much more suited to a flat 4-4-2 when in central midfield because long, diagonal passes are a strength of his. Yaya can only work in as open a midfield as we play if he has several key elements of support, ie a partner with amazing stamina and central defenders who can step up comfortably on the ball. If he doesn't have that, he struggles because he's poor at getting back. See? Different players have different attributes.Lancet Fluke said:taconinja said:If we had looked purely at stats at the end of last season, we would play Dzeko every minute of every game because the stats "proved" he was far superior to Aguero.

Precisely, therefore it is better to trust the judgement of your own eyes when you watch him play and see what he does. And when I watch him I see that he is utterly shit. This whole three man midfield line is bizarre. Of course he's going to be better if he's got more people around him to cover his numerous weaknesses. Garcia can't play in a two man midfield because he is too slow to close people down, can't tackle and doesn't read the game well enough to make up for those limitations. Those limitations are still there in a three man midfield and all it means is that there is someone else there to do his work for him rather than in a two man midfield where there isn't someone else there to do his job. What are we going to do next sign a pub standard defender and start saying, "well he's ok in a 9 man defence."
