Yet we have more points from the games he doesn’t start !! Go figure !! I’d also suggest we have scored more goals without him on the pitch as well and conceded more with him on it !!
Sorry to ask the question, but haven’t we scored more goals when adama wasn’t on the pitch this season?
Saw these 2 posts in the Adama thread and thought it was worth exploring in some more depth.
We've played 24 games so far this season, Adama has appeared in 23 of them.
He's been off the pitch for slightly less than he's been on it (1,138 minutes on, 1,022 off, not including any added time as that is too hard!).
Here are the numbers for goals and results with him ON and OFF the pitch.
14 goals for and 10 goals against with him ON the pitch
14 goals for for and 8 goals against with him OFF the pitch
On the face of it, we don't score any more or less when he's on the pitch, but we concede fewer goals when he's off the pitch. But the devil, as always, is in the detail.
In our 24 games this season, as a team, our record is:
- 12 wins
- 5 draws
- 7 losses
- 9 Wins
- 8 Draws
- 6 Losses
- 8 Wins
- 7 Draws
- 4 Losses
It's when you look at the games he starts and doesn't start that things become quite interesting:
For games Adama has started, our overall record in those games is:
- 2 wins
- 2 draws
- 6 losses
- 10 wins
- 3 draws
- 1 losses
- 3 Wins
- 2 Draw
- 5 Losses
- 6 Wins
- 6 Draws
- 1 Losses
Stats that point to Bruno probably being right to use him as an impact sub. A role it appears he is unwilling to accept here (why he won't sign a new deal), but a role he might accept at a 'bigger profile' club (Spurs).
I'd love to keep him here as a different option, but it's looking more and more likely he will be off. The stats above maybe show that it wouldn't be the end of the world?!
