No, eyes over stats.So suddenly stats are better than using your eyes
Exactly, that’s why pre assists isnt a thingNo, eyes over stats.
Don't really give a fuck about it as a stat, but if a player makes a great pass which doesn't directly lead to an assist, it's still fair to say it was a good pass.
Xavi/Iniesta used to play a lot of brilliant balls in to attacking players, it didn't lead to assists every time but it did get the ball in to the right area of the pitch.
Why isn’t unit readily available and the inky place that has it is a computer game where you have to pay?
Is it because sites like Sky and the PL and BBC don’t really find it interesting enough to bother mentioning?
It could have been a terrible pass, or a backwards pass to the halfway line.
That’s why it’s not a thing.
No one said there is no such thing as an important pass, or a good pass.
The argument is that the pre assist isn’t anything other than a pass, and there is no measurable metric for it on any respectable football data website.
Yeah, at the assistYou have to draw the line somewhere
Call it what I want?Why can't you read? two different data sources now referenced in this very thread, both require payment .... that's because it's valuable data ... why are you too stupid to understand that?
Free information is usually pretty meh or easily obtained ... it's the detailed information that people are willing to pay for that really makes the difference.
Call it what you want, but it is a thing ... as now proven several time ... go have a lie down Sammy
Using your eyes is great, but sometimes looking at the speedometer helps as well ......
Why are people relating this to Kane?Is there anything more ignorant than Sammy’s hatred of Kane? If Kane scored the winning goal to secure CL for he, Sammy would still find issues with it.
Don’t act like you didn’t make this thread just because of people giving Kane credit.Why are people relating this to Kane?

Just found out that Opta also supply 'pre-assist' numbers in their
"Sequences and possessions"
data, guess they made it up as well hey Sammy.
You’re not a good troll Sammy. Go back to making comments that actually contributes to the forum.Wow the sect runs deep, Jesus, you need to see someone about this
I’m talking about pre assists not being a thing.
Kane scored and played well, I’ve said it several times.
But somehow “denying” him a pre assist is why I think it’s nonsense?
No, it’s just nonsense
I must be pretty good if you’re hooked when I’m not even trying to hook youYou’re not a good troll Sammy. Go back to making comments that actually contributes to the forum.
Ask what you like - just stop pretending that pre assists don't exist after having been repeatedly shown that they do - it just makes you look stupid.Why would that be made up?
I didn’t say the passes were made up, I said a pre assist isn’t a thing. It just comes under passing.
Tactical stats are widely available unlike pre assists
May I ask why you’ve never mentioned pre assisting in ten years up until the day before yesterday?
Hmmmm, no what’s stupid is you asking me to pay you so you can register on a website for a computer game, which you claim has all the pre assists for Spurs playersAsk what you like - just stop pretending that pre assists don't exist after having been repeatedly shown that they do - it just makes you look stupid.
