Some views on individual stats
Due to our dominance, our passing and attacking stats were higher that defensive.
Zabaleta – Good all round stats
Balbuena – With no need for a dominant defensive performance, he showed lower stats that normal but still added another 4 clearances. Lower than average pass completion.
Diop – Topped our defensive stats including 6 clearances, 3 completed tackles and 3 interceptions, also topped our pass completion rate at 94%
Cresswell – Very similar stats to Zabaleta, solid.
Rice – Our highest recoveries with 12.
Diangana – Completed 6 take-ons & created 5 chances, both our highest stats.
Obiang – Taken off on 61mins, no defensive stats, completed 20 passes from 25 (80%)
Anderson – Top attacking stats, including 28 passes in the attacking third. 4 shots on target including his 2 goals. Also topped most passes with 57 from 75 attempted.
Snodgrass – 2nd highest attacking stats behind Anderson.
Arnautovic – Completed 24 passes in final third, 3 shots on target and created 2 chances.
Hernandez – Doesn’t really show anything in the stats apart from his shot on target (Goal)
Certainly shows that amongst other great stats, cresswell should keep the left back spot.
