Swansea City's passing game.

Massive respect to Swansea. Leon Britton has the highest pass completion rate in the top 5 European leagues. He obviously learnt that at Arsenal.



Thank you Splashy.

Glad I could help.

Didn't realise we were that high up. And Parker

Arteta.

Parker and Terry . Shows that pass completion and passing quality isn't linked.

Terry is a fairly good passer, and playing it out of defence when you're a good passer is easier, he's just a shit defender.

Parker picks up possesion from deep and gives it to Modric/vdV, it's good his % is so high. Means he's not giving away possession.

Just jealous Lucas isn't there

Tbf, I bet Lucas would be there if the table went down a few more places

if a player made one pass, then got injured for the rest of the season, wouldn't they go top of that leaderboard?

If Xavi played that ball and Messi scored that goal it'd be hailed.

I was thinking the same thing but I cbf to post it.

Already knew this when they came to Anfield and outpassed us, people like Chris came into the thread laughing at us.

We had more possession at their ground.

Terry is a quality passer (and two footed as well), so underrated in that aspect. Don't make the assumption that just cause he's a defender it's just easy passes.

Easily among's Chelsea best players in terms of passing ability.

1 point behind you and you've got Man United next. We've got Bolton.

You've lost 7 times in the league already

Maybe if he worked on his defensive abilities more than his passing, he wouldn't be finding himself on his ass as much. Vidic's not the best of passes, yet he's a world class defender. Couldn't give 2 fuck's if my defenders couldn't pass great as long as they're quality in defending then yeah, that is the main thing in being a defender anyway (defending )

Wonder why Agger isn't there, easily the 2nd best passing defender behind Vermaelen

Koscielny passes the ball better than Vermaelen, as do a few other Premier League center backs.

Vidic has improved his passing quite a lot, always confident when he's got the ball at his feet..

It's worth noting that Xavi has done almost 700 more passes than Britton, and still has a fucking amazing completion rate, so Britton's status as the "best passer in Europe" might be a bit shallow, although this is obvious, statistic or no statistic.

Either way he's a great player fucking love watching Swansea...except against us haha

Err because he's criminally overrated?

This shows a lot more. Xavi has created 38 more goalscoring chances in less time.

Fuck Xavi is a freak. Truly a genius footballer. I have a feeling he will make a fantastic coach one day, but only Barcelona as his temperament might not be enough to handle any other 'type of player' that doesn't have the values which are taught at La Masia (which makes them brilliant phaggots)

I am always impressed by Swansea everytime they play.Big respect to them from my side, wish we could play like that now, so fluent, calm and beautiful football.
