Thing is, that particular player is known for being a terrible finisher. He's only scored 12 goals in 87 games for Liverpool, which for the calibre of attacking midfielder he is is pretty damn low. Should be pushing a goal every four games rather than 1 every 7.

That part of appreciating the game,, how to valuate A player statistically, I have no grasp of. I can ooh and aw, a good play, and genrally see who makes good plays more often, but that is about it.

Generally I'm better at the attacking end of things regarding statistical analysis than defending. But then I'd be the same with baseball, for example. And I'm certainly the same with cricket. I know what a good batting and good bowling average are, but other than that I've no idea.
