It could also be an anomaly, given you're comparing full season stats of past seasons vs 8 games this season. You only need look at this season UCL for 2 games and his WC stats to see how much it can fluctuate with so little sample size. (talking about dribbles and dispossessions.)
I suspect his final numbers on dribbles and dispossessions will end up around the same as previous seasons.

The whoscored chalkboard and detailed section are brilliant, so much better at giving a quantified summary of the game (though the total/average calculation on dribbling is inaccurate and just adds the la liga/CL numbers for some reason, which represents nothing). Also, their through-ball stat is still off. There's no way that Messi only averages .5 through balls per game.

Calma, calma
I absolutely love the chalkboard. It shows exactly where on the pitch the dribbles happened, where the shots were taken from, where the touches happened etc. Brilliant.
However, I think they're having issues with loads on the server, it was down for almost the entire day today.

There's also squawka.com. I think both sites get data from Opta, but choose which stats to display and in what manner to show them.
Annoying that he'll break Messi's 50 league goals, even if half of them are pens. Messi might not be as prolific with pens but Madrid are a lot more dangerous in the box to get so many and you can see by their goal tally this season. Suarez will help a lot if we can keep that front 3 fit because Pedro is a waste of space. The first half showed we lack any depth in midfield (Xavi aside) which made the first half a waste of time against a team who should be put to the sword early.
At this rate Penaldo will score 100 goals this season.

Thats got nothing to do with it. Yes, both teams play different, but that doesnt mean that doesnt explain why team defends deeper against us than them, as some teams have it and gotten good result against them beause of it.
It got more to do with the fact that teams either fear barca more or respect them more. Because parking the bus isnt a byproduct of our style, but rather a choice by the other teams managers. I mean, we play the same style in 100% of all our games, yet not all of them defend as deep.
If anything passing endlessly is a byproduct pf teams parking the bus..

In the end what matters most is trophies, so Messi will get the credit he deserves if we takes the title while Ronaldo takes the European Golden shoe, Ballon dor etc.
I'm not so sure about that, Ronaldo always starts well, particularly in the run up to the Ballon Dor...but then he tails off toward the rest of the season.

+1 He lost it at the tail end of last season, but its coming back.

Better yet it allows stats to be checked per 90 minutes instead of per game. This give a far better representation of goalscorers like Neymar who have been subbed off a lot, or Munir who's goals per game ratio looks awful but per 90 minutes is far more accurate.
Its such a relief to see Messi involved again like he was before Tata. I just want last season erased from my memory.
