What do you mean what about the matches we didn't win? I included them. 34 points from 21 games with Adama, although in fairness he didn't feature at all against Everton (H) so 31 points from 20 with Adama, 17 points from 17 without him.What about the numerous matches he played where we didn't win? Where he achieved nothing at all? He was also key in those 3 early 0-1 defeats and the 0-2 against Brentford. A key factor in us having no end product, no goals, because he has close to zero actual end product. Remember earlier this season, some point pre-Xmas, commentators saying all of our goals had been scored with Adama off the field.
Selecting matches we lost where he didn't play seems real stat twisting! He had game after game at season start (and last season) and rarely does anything. Fine as a luxury player for a club who can afford the occasional passenger. All 9 teams who finished above us managed to do it without Adama. They didn't need him and neither do we.
So I wasn't twisting anything. I offered my opinion on why our results are so drastically different with and without him, which I believe is down to the way we can play.
My whole point was that he does do things, but because they aren't goals or assists you discount them.
You may point to injuries to others for the massive difference between our results with and without Traore, fair enough, your opinion. However, I believe we won tight games like Brentford, Southampton, Brighton, United etc. because we had him available to us. Since then, we've mainly come out the wrong side of those tight games and my opinion is that he's the main reason why.
