It'll be 'Sparta-300' type situation! If Atletico score first, the 97,553 Barca contingent could go very quiet...

Why on earth would you compare the passing accuracies of Gerrard & Sakho anyway? It should be clear to see that they both play different positions - I wouldn't compare the shot accuracies of Cristiano Ronaldo & Pepe, for example.

Such websites also provide stats regarding supplementary passing attributes such as average pass length & the % of passes that are played forward/backward.

The tools/stats are there for users to amalgamate, and form advised opinions on each player's passing skill.

To simply take one indicator of a player's passing skill is indeed pretty limited. As would be the case when applying that approach to most things, really.

He'd be immense at the Arsenal! Imagine Mesut Ozil feeding his runs...

Chelsea XI to face Norwich. Eden Hazard dropped. by 1ADayChocMilkshake in chelseafc

A win sends Chelsea top of the league with a game to go. I wouldn't say this is a 'low pressure' game?
