Man Utd 1-0 Liverpool
I do seldom post about soccer although i like it so much. But i really needed to talk about last night's match because i have been taunted by Man Utd fans while growing up. HAHA.
Dont worry, i am not such a hard up person, but if you look at Cisse's terrible miss last night you might have laughed at why he was still slowly (incredibly) picking himself up when the rebound came to him. Of course you never know if that would have won the game for Liverpool but you must really question his awareness and committment to graft for the team.
I must say that i know quite a number of Liverpool fans that do not like Cisse very much -- leaving his looks and strange hairdos out of the equation. I was thinking Milan Baros is actually a similar player and should have been the one kept in the Liverpool squad instead of Cisse.
Albiet knowing that goal scoring is not everything that is useful in modern soccer striker lets look at their records. For one thing, i really think Baros works harder and is not so prone to trying strange methods of heading the ball.
Djibril Cisse of Liverpool -- this season in premiership 11 games 4 goals.
Milan Baros of (now) Aston Villa -- 1 game for 'pool and 15 games for villa with 5 goals. Their goal scoring ratio is thus both equally bad. But Skysports Opta Rating gives Baros an average of 6.8 and Cisse 6.1.
Opta stats gives Baros a 48% shot on target ratio with 31 shots. Highest in the Villa team. Also a 54% dribble completion rate at 136 tries (2nd in Villa). Cisse has 35 shots with 34% on target (4th in Liverpool) and 54 crosses at 23% successful (3rd in the team). Baros also boasts highest number of fouls won for Villa at 33, but has 5 yellow cards himself. Opta stats from sky sports only include up to 5th highest player and includes other things like passing, tackling and fouls lost.
I admit there are many confounding factors like style of play and teams played against but i cant help feeling sorry for Liverpool fans -- if only Cisse had stopped lying on the ground for so long.
