Interesting stat for all the moaners who say he is crap with the ball at his feet - top passer in the PL yesterday with 50 successfully completed passes out of 50, well done Joleon

I like Joleoninho. Great defender but not much of a footballer. Do the stats tell us that 99% of the passes were back to the person who passed to him, and/or didn't exceed ten metres?

Love him, just love him.
Surely they were all sideways and backwards passes though, weren't they?

He was sorely missed in Munich. Kolo was all over the place that night.

nearly 70% possession yesterday mate, that was done by defending well, inbred rovers did not get near Jo Hart until after we were 3 up, I think it is about time JL got some well deserved praise

There is one thing about Joleon, he has taken his fare amount of stick over the last 2 years, but he always comes out and trys, he has some very good games and some poor but at least he trys and dosn't let his head drop when he isn't picked.
Great effort yesterday.

not sure the stats go into that much detail mate, nice of you to belittle his passing despite the good stats though

It's not that people say he's rubbish with it at his feet, it's the fact and i will admit i'm one of these people who say it..
when he has the ball and a player is within 10 yards of him he's so uncomfortable on the ball.
a high percentage rate looks good when you pass the ball to another player, who's no more than 5 yards away, 25-30 times a game.
the point is he can't pass a ball further than 15 yards forward without giving it away, and his get out if he can't is a huge lump forward.
anyway his passing forward doesn't concern me, i just wish he would stop twatting it forward for no reason.
