He scored one goal in his Chelsea career - a rebound from his own penalty. He rarely passed the half way line, and he was brilliant at his job.Liamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04824662356080199075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1266476550583850985.post-71197354166708521322013-02-08T22:50:20.654+00:002013-02-08T22:50:20.654+00:00Hi Asaah - Terry was more likely to keep a clean s...Hi Asaah - Terry was more likely to keep a clean sheet, but Ferdinand was more likely to do it in the bigger games - the whole idea of this blog is to identify the big game players.<br /><br />Whilst there's a lot of draws, there are also clear winners - Henry vs van Nistelrooy was a clear win for the Frenchman, Messi won the battle of the Barcelona stars, and Drogba beat Gomez (on the old blog - haven't copied it over). The ones that finished in draws a justiable by content.<br /><br />All opinions are welcome, but my opinion on the above is that given the measures, a draw is a fair result.Liamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04824662356080199075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1266476550583850985.post-92004297902877060992013-02-07T06:46:38.968+00:002013-02-07T06:46:38.968+00:00Pretty much a draw?Are you kidding me?smh.
What in...Pretty much a draw?Are you kidding me?smh.<br />What in God's name is the Makelele factor?how can you factor that into JT's performances when you totally ignore the various players that have aided Ferdinand's. <br />You do a pretty good job of collating data, then ruin it by sitting on the fence. The stats clearly favour JT and there's that massive difference in the influence on proceedings at the other end.<br />You should be brave enough to declare winners,all these tepid,unfair draws leave a rather cloying taste in the mouth..Asaahnoreply@blogger.com
