I think your conclusion that "I hope this shows why the Brown for Man of the Match calls are wide of the mark" shows why its dangerous to base your judgement on stats alone. |

It maybe didn't come across well in the post but I absolutely do not do that. I trust what I see with my own eyes and the subjective element is always there. Equally I observe that some folk pick 1 or 2 moments out of 90 minutes activity and base their whole view on that performance on those 1 or 2 seconds. But please be assured I do not take the approach of generating an opinion of the stats alone as context is key. Bear in mind I record every player action so the numbers are a good starting point! |

Fair enough mate but Brown was MoTM by a country mile on Saturday - to say it is "wide of the mark" doesn't wash. This wasn't based on 1 or 2 moments either. BBC did a nice wee montage on Sunday evening showing how effective he was. |

I think loads of folk do - if someone has an average game and scores a goal, they sometimes get elevated into the top 3 in MOTM posts. Which is fine if you're totally stuck for a 3rd person to put in |

I don't believe anyone bases their opinion of a player based on 1 or 2 seconds out of 90 minutes. Without bogging this thread down too much, it's why I'm not a huge fan of stats. They can tell you loads of things that aren't really true. The stats and numbers tell us Brown wasn't MOTM on Saturday. Anyone who watched the game is able to tell you otherwise. |

So, this begs the question then. Why was Brown not MOTM on Saturday ? |

Another way to look at it is that I believe Brown played well but others played better. Blog showing attacking performance will be up later. Read both and see if you have a change of opinion. End of the day it's an opinion. |

You put a lot of effort into your stuff mate. I don't really agree with some of your conclusions but that's fine, as you say opinions. I don't think it's possible that any blog will change my mind on how Brown played on Saturday though. |

I've no problem with stats at all, and I think you use them interestingly. Your point however seemed to be that because Brown didn't have the best defensive performance compared to Jozo etc. that he didn't warrant MOTM which is flawed logic with or without stats. I might have been reading you wrong but that's what I took from that first article. The amount of people who think stats are heretical though

Comparing players doing different jobs is apples and pears and is obviously a judgement call. MoM is supposed to be fun not an exercise in falling out, however! 😀 |
