I've no idea where GG and the like get their stats from so they could probably dig something up from somewhere but I went back to basics tonight, having got to the end of my tether in previous games with screaming at the TV each time a pass goes awry or is intercepted.
Now I concentrated this basic stat on when we had the ball in the The Spammers half of the pitch.
These stats do not include bona fide crosses, corners or free kicks.
I simply looked at where the interplay broke down between Palace players.
In the first half we had 6 passes go astray/intercepted.
I don't know what our possession stats was in the first half (certainly in the Spammers half) but I dont think it was great.
Second half I made it 17 passes were picked off or misdirected. (I believe our possession stats second half may have been higher.)
However I even think the co-commentator (female) picked up on it at one point.
We all know it has been bad but to me these stats bring it home.
Essentially we had 23 attacks break down because of sloppy passing in the opponents half.
Even if you were to dispute my tally as being subjective (although I dont see how, a pass either got there or it didn't) or I can't add up, so deduct a third, that still equates to 15 attacks that were lost because we simply cannot pass the ball accurately.
This has been going on all this season and for most of last.
I'm not sure Roy can be blamed for this ineptitude but it has to be questioned, why is our passing so bad ?
