tackles won

Postby levi_villa on Tue Jul 27, 2010 4:41 pm

on SSN they had the top 10 tacklers (tackles won) in the prem, villa had 2 in the top 5, 3rd place petrov and 5th cueller.
interesting stat as these 2 get alot of critisism on this site.
2 important assets that these 2 players need and there 2 of the best in the prem, you cant moan about that.

Think this was posted in another thread...Its a really difficult stat to read in to I think. NRC was pretty close to the top tackler in his first season with us.

Its great to have them up there but the cynical side of me thinks that if we kept the ball better, they wouldn't need to tackle so much.

Still, fair play to them both for being up there. They do both get a lot of stick and I certainly have been critical of the balance that SP brings to the side. But you can't question his effort and determination and that's what this stat shows.

To be honest, I may be biased, but Carlos is the matador...

My neutral friends always say he looks good (obviously at defending) .... I rate collins highly.. but I still think Carlos and Dunne are our best 2 centre backs...

They always will be aswell, until the day they leave !! But to defend myself against Petrov, Iv'e had a bit of a moan this closed season because I personally think weve had the best out of him, and I feel a better FOOTBALLER, not tackler should be introduced. Plus he's lost a yard last season from when we origonally had him.

Delphihno, is the man I reckon, as and when he's fully fit !!!

As for Cuellar, the stats don't lie, when we had one of the best defences in the league.

Absolutely agree. Cuellar was coming into his own at centre back but with the new signings coming in and their impact he just wasn't going to get a game there.
I still rate Davies highly too, so it's certainly an area of the team where we're very strong.

I don't think Cuellar hasn't gotten much flak has he? I was under the impression everyone loved him playing CB for us, including me. :Villa:
