Wayne Rooney (this is a funny play on the word ‘passes’)

This is a surprising statistic

Yeah definitely…at least alongside goalkeeper I’d say. They were talking about it on the Ramble the other day wrt David Luiz, saying that a midfield position requires 360 degrees of concentration, as opposed 180 degrees in defence.

Most common sound at any Goodison Park game is outraged booing. Pretty annoying.

Better than nothing I guess.

I’d actually rather listen to deathly silence

Just on this note which Premier League grounds are the best for having a good atmosphere (even if their teams are getting battered etc.)?

Newcastle? Palace?

I think he’s seen as the least dangerous in possession, so opponents tend to leave him free whilst pressing.

Is there a technical reason why streams break just before goals? Missed four this weekend over two games so far

Aye, it was very similar with us and Fellaini before he became a world class game-changing option.

Not quite Fazio against Chelsea, but Nico can pick a decent pass when he’s given most of the pitch.
