whelans passing against liverpool was horrid. I'd love to see the stats for that one. I think he hit 20% of his attempted passes. we got a good result however. and we're still 8th in the premier league! but still.. whelans passing was the worst Ive seen in a long time. Whelan completed more passes than any other Stoke player. 31 out of 45. Not great, but the most consistently accurate we had. Palacios only attempted 14 passes but did a very decent stopping job I thought. Proof if it was needed that stats mean fuck all - Whelan was fucking garbage against Liverpool, regardless of several 5-yard completed passes.

How does this pass completion stat fit into the overall picture of how long or short a team's passes are? Great point.Stoke play more long balls than anyone else in the Prem,so that's naturally going to reduce our completion rate compared to teams who play lots of short stuff.About a quarter of the passes we play are long ones. Based on the passing stats since 2009/10 an average Premiership side playing around a quarter of their passes long would have a completion rate of 65%.....ours is currently running at just under 70%. So as usual Stoke are playing to a gameplan and executing it brilliantly.I've emailed Talksport with the good news :-) More details thepowerofgoals.blogspot.com/2012/01/passing-accuracy-in-premiership.html

Take Delap out of the equation and the pass rate would instantly go up by 10%.
