Palace - the match stats 2015/16

jeudi 14 janvier 2016

Looking at To view the link you have to Register or Login I thought I would try to see where things haven't gone too well this season or well our strengths have been.

Summary
Possession: 46.9% (15th in the league)
Certainly an improvement on last year where we finished 20th with only 42.7%, but how much does it really mean to results when Leicester are currently 18th?

Pass Success: 75.3% (16th in the league)
Arsenal, Man City and Man Utd are top, with Leicester bottom with only 69.5% success

Aerials Won: 16 (9th in the league)
Villa are top here with 20, and Everton are last with 12.1

Defence
Tackles per game: 17.7 (17th in the league)
Surprised to see us so low here. Leicester top the table with 23. This stat probably is lowered the more a team keeps the ball, so Leicester being top but with very low possession isn't surprising. Man City are just above us in 16th but generally have a higher possession % in a game. However seeing we don't keep the ball that well, this is too low I would say.

Interceptions per game: 16.8 (10th in the league)
Again Leicester top the table with 22, Villa in 3rd, Arsenal 4th, but Man City, Chelsea, Liverpool, and Everton are all in the bottom 5.

Fouls per game: 12.5 (2nd in the league)
Only Spurs give away more fouls than us. Bournemouth, Arsenal and Everton give away the least.

Offsides per game: 2.4 (5th in the league)
Stoke have the most in the league, Leicester have the least.

Attack
Shots per game: 12.1 (11th in the league)
Man City are top with more than 17 per game, Newcastle the least with 9.5

Shots on target per game: 4.2 (9th in the league)
Man City top, West Brom bottom.

Other
We're 4th in the league for hitting inaccurate long balls, 16th for accurate short passes and BOTTOM by quite some way for inaccurate short passes.

No surprise that we top the table with West Ham for the most blocked shots (5.1 per game) thanks to Dann and Delaney.

Situational Statistics
We have only scored 12 goals from open play - the third lowest in the league (Swansea and Villa below us)

We haven't scored an official counter attack goal for nearly 2 seasons now!

We are the 8th best team when it comes to scoring from set pieces.

Positional Statistics
I find this stat the most interesting, and what I personally blame for our current bad form and the lack of goals from strikers and in open play...

38% of our attacks come down the left.
39% down the right
23% down the middle - the lowest in the league by 2% (which is quite significant in the table)

Zaha and Bolasie - we're too reliant on something coming from them and don't play through the middle enough in my opinion.
