Random Stat - make of it what you will

[Tom R]

I'm sure if Rafa was given the Keane money we'd have seen another striker at the club.

 

But for some reason it vanished.

 

maybe he should have just kept Keane to begin with, then he would't have this problem!

 

Anyway, I'm trying to enjoy today. That's enough from me on this.

[SpeedyG]

Would love to know Gerrard's scoring record before and after Rafa took over - I suspect it has increaed dramatically.

 

Just for you.

 

 

No clues, but see if you can guess what year Benitez took over.

[Guest LFD]

Thanks Speedyg.

[spider-neil]

I don't know do you feel better?! You always have to have a moan about something, you're never happy.

 

Our squad is weak when we lose two or three players, no doubt.

 

Voronin, Babel, Dossena and Degan are offering nothing that I believe the young players couldn't do.

 

But let's give Ngog, Benitez and the rest of the players some credit, they performed and our season isn't over as six points is gap which we can clearly close.

 

I have no idea what the problem is with the fringe/subs. babel and n'go have 4 goals and 1 assist between them in 9 league matches. have a look down the league and see what the scoring/assist record is for the fringe players at other clubs in the league. as for reserve players offering more that's plain speculation.

[Kevin D]

Ngog has played 44 minutes of league football this season; he has two goals in that time.That is a higher goals to minutes ratio than any player in the country. If transfered to a 90 minute spell, and there's every reason to think it would, he'd be averaging four goals a game. Last season, minutes wise, he played the equivalent of 3 and a half games; in that time he got two assists and two goals.

 

If Benitez didn't pervesely continue with Torres, it's clear that Ngog would demonstrate why some call him the most feared striker in the reserve league today. That's not even mentioning some his amazing step-overs.

Wow, looks like Gerrard has really Excelled under Rafa.

Congratulations Kevin D, on joining the select group of us who have graduated with a degree in Bent Statistics.

 

Alas, at this time we can only confer a 2:2 as while the claims are outlandish they are clearly not Bent. If you wish to resubmit in the hope of a better grade please present your hypothesis to Professor Code72 who I'm sure can help you prove that these goals were actually scored by Xabi Alonso using a wormhole terminating in N'Gog's socks.

I knew it, Ngog's cock is so powerful that its a wormhole.

[spider-neil]

maybe he should have just kept Keane to begin with, then he would't have this problem!

 

 

because we really struggled for goals when he was fucked off.

[malovski]

who would u get for that kind of money tho who would have been happy to sit on the bench almost every game.

i thought a good option would have been sturridge from city

The difference between keane and ngog is keane was supposed to come to us as a seasoned goalscorer - the finished article .

The result ? Dogshit.

Rush was shit when he first came and we know the rest .

Give ngog a chance he has cost us peanuts .

[Brownie]

There is abosolutely no way N'Gog will ever make it big at Liverpool, in my view, not from what i've seen so far. He's done alright from the bench at times but he's extremely limited overall.

 

Absolutely made up he slotted that chance in yesterday, mind!

Since 4 goals a game clearly doesn't do it for you, how many are you looking for? There comes a point when you're just being unreasonable.

[05 Milan]

Opposition defenders coming up against N'gog will high-five eachother before kick-off. He really isn't hard to handle at all. Popping up with the fourth goal in injury time now and again doesn't exactly make him unplayable. We need strikers who imposes themselves on games. Torres lacks this quality in my opinion, but he has few, if any, other weaknesses, and scores shedloads, so he's excused.

 

He just doesn't belong as a second option striker for a team challenging for the title, I don't think anyone can disagree with that.

 

However, with money being pretty tight there's really no point in crying about it, as he looks to be the best we can hope for these days.

Upon seeing Ngog stripping off ready to be introduced, Van der Saar turned to Ferdinand and asked " why are they carrying him?" only to recoil in horror when he was told " He's walking."

Eh ??

Erm ....

Eh?

[Funkasy]

Ngog > Keane

 

fact

 

Ngog can tap the ball in from the goal line, Keane could'nt.

[Guest Dog Chaser]

N'Gog scores goals and is only 20, lets give the boy a chance to establish himself.

[Dan Vito Corleone]

He's alright, is N'Gog, I quite like him. Probably not good enough for LFC but that's not his fault is it? Seems to have a knack of scoring goals.

[Lady Penelope]

I wouldn't say N'gog is a bad player and he certainly took his goal well yesterday. Whoever said that they would have scored that themselves should get a trial with the club because the kid had a LOT of time to outhink himself from finishing AND he was bearing down on the Kop, against Utd in the final few minutes. Not sure how many obscure 20 year olds could finish as calmly as he did. But just to point out that the stats are slightly distorted. His goals have tended to be against poor enough opposition and/or at times when the game is done and dusted or the opposing team are being caught by counter-attacks. I'm not sure he believes in himself enough and I'd like him to get stuck in a bit more and show more muscle on the ball as he doesn't seem to have the flair for creating chances for himself.

[Guest Ulysses Everett McGill]

I like him

[aws]

I like him too. I think he shows a lot of promise - he works hard and although he always looks uncomfortable in possession has got goals in him. God knows how but the ball regularly seems to find him and he's pretty good at taking his chances.

 

Give him another year or two and we could have the world's greatest shit striker on our hands. The new Zlatan.

Besides the goals, which is always the most important thing, the bit in bold is the part I like best about Ngog this season. He makes defenders work hard and is a presence in the air and physically.

 

He did it against Leeds away and even in his much derided performance against Lyon, I personally thought he was their defenders a hard time physically and making a nuisance out of himself (but the ref awarded them freekicks for absolutely nothing).

 

He is 20 years old and have a decent scoring record at a high level. He should probably only be our third choice at the moment, but with the sad state of affairs financially, we probably have got to make do with the current situation.

[PaulMcC]

He doesn't only score when we're cruising.

 

He's scored gainst Leeds, PSV, The Mancs and Sunderland when the game wasn't decided yet.
