Oh did you also notice that you can have a good pass rate by most of the time passing to your centre back who is 10 yards away and straight in front of you? I can do that also, i wonder if i played in the premiership i could get a good pass rate, i bet i could.

He rarely plays near his centre backs, if at all. But I will go back to your comment about scuffing a pass through on goal and ask you again, has that actually happened? Has it ever looked like happening?

So really, you have no idea where to go from here since you've basically admitted that his passing connects far more often than not (even with the inclusion of an event that never happened or even looked like happening) and you've run out of boring, groundless points.

I could still pass to the centre back with no pressure at all, all the time and get an amazing pass rate, does it mean i'm good at passing? Not really. OMFGZ IS THIS DEBATE OVEr!111on2!!! YES!!111
But he doesn't pass to the centre back everytime. Like I say, his diagonal ball is close to unrivalled. His forward passing has improved drastically and his passing to the wide players from defence is superb as well. I'd call that a range of passing, which was my original point. You'd kill to have him at your tinpot club, along with most other teams in the league. He is an outlet, his job is to pass. an 83% rate of success is, I would say, him doing his job of passing the ball, short, long, square or otherwise. If your only point of debate is that one or two passes you've seen have strayed a little and made the defender stick his leg out a little further than sual, then you realy need to get those ABU-tinted glasses checked.
And yes, this debate has been over for a long time, since you have no point of reference other than something which had a small chance of happening in your mind.
<div class="quote_poster">Anelka Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">Nah, i totally owned. Anyway, where did you get these stats?</div> OPTA index.
No, Soliborn is making invalid point therefore i owned him long ago, if you review the debate you will see Ronaldo, dont worry. Total ownage, next person please?
How is it an invalid point when I was talking about his range of passing, using statistics by the official body and all you have for your arguement is something you've imagined happening? I'm genuinely interested in how you've proved your non-existant point.
You still seem to be going off-topic, if you don't stop your non sense this thread might get closed which is a shame because there was a good conversation on, i'm trying to be cool about this, so please don't act immature and spoil it.
I'm staying on topic. I'm trying to figure out how your managing to base an arguement on something that hasn't ever happened. Not off topic. It's entirely on topic.
