[QUOTE="goodNumber10, post: 628588, member: 71068"] where did you get those stats from? as they don't tally up with the official Accenture ones. The problem with stats is that they are all blither unless interpreted correctly and nothing that you posted there shows the effectiveness of any of those things. No point making 20 tackles if you concede ground every time, no point beating 20 defenders if you only make one meter after, No point passing when you've run up a blind alley and decided you've got no where left to go. Making yards is fine but the flow of the ball is more natural for a left wing so May should get more clear runs down the touchline, wheras Nowell needs to go looking - May got more clean runs but Nowell was involved in the move of the game via his support running. Regardless it's completely pointless comparing Nowell and May as they are playing different positions and running in different traffic... compare May to Yarde or another person playing on the left. I like May but he's not done it for me (personal preference don't take take it personally), Nowell has. [/QUOTE]
