Apparently Mascherano is the top passer in the Premier League with 542 passes with an accuracy of 87 %. Carra is fourth with 428 passes of which 86 % were successful (hoofing, eh?).

Liverpool is the team with the most successful passes (3369).

Lucas is among the top tacklers in the league with 39 of which 69% were successful.

This could have gone in the hoofing thread.

how many of those were forward passes rather than sideways passing to skrtel?

I prefer him passing sideways to Skrtel than hoof it to some opponent. Don't you?

I guess, but let's not use the stats to prove carra is some great passer of the ball, no offence but he isn't.

 

[Holle]

I don't take it as an offence at all. I only find it quite interesting that Carra is among the best passers in the league. Because if you read some posts on here it seems you could get the impression that the poor guy has never learned to kick a ball properly. So he can't be that bad, surely?

Lies, Damned Lies and Statistics.

Carra hoofs. I've seen it with my own eyes.

Hahaha. Never trust a statistics you didn't fake yourself? Carra is one of the best passers in the league. FACT. 😉

bring the avatar back!

 

[Farkmaster]

Carragher has played the most incisive forward passes of any of our CBs other than Hyppia over the last several years, I've seen it with my own eyes. He's made several real quality passes this season as well. His defensive positioning is where he's dropped a couple gears of late.

 

[Peatcheo]

I often said it was a falacy thay Mascherano was a bad passer. He has added long rangers to his locker too, and some tit said Lucas was more creative than him, hmmmmm.

 

[dossena]

Mascherano IS an average passer.

Lucas is too.

 

[Glock21]

What else do we expect from a world class defensive midfielder. I now hope he can score goals for us.
