1st progressive passing yds on pitch of any midfielder.. more than Kroos and Modric combined.

1st chances created at 5 - more than double anyone else on the pitch.
1st for balls won back with 5 tackles/interceptions.
1st equal for dribbles made

Bet he wishes he was more like the 'complete' midfielder Gavi!
Said for many times now... know those who are paid a lot of money to analze players and what they think of FDJ/Gavi.
Will die on the hill with them rather than folk who try to ignore the stats staring them in face and just repeat about how complete Gavi is and his 'balls'!

Nah those stats are to show on the ball how far ahead of others.
Mentioned defensive stats and 3rd last season for balls won back
Literally in that game mentioned refer to defensive stats and winning ball back more than anyone that game.
Some dont understand stats and think likes of Braithwaite and Dest are top players though...
Aye '8th in key passes' from deep is very good and within that he was 3rd for expected assists again is very very strong stat from deep.
Shows he picks his moments and the fact 4th last season for expected assists is an embarrasement for some players further forward
Literally all those stats show what he offers offensively.. forward passes, chances created, exepcted goals.. through balls etc.

I admire your loyalty to him, despite being below par for 5 seasons in a row
Will you keep being his fan at UTD or Chelsea where he will play in 25/26 season?
Fake news...
You keep following Dest/Braithwaite etc and guys you did back flips for based on your understanding of stats.
'But Xavi is ruining World Class Desty!'
Christ you are as boring as you are clueless.
Have a good one.
