Premier League Week #1-Chalkboards

1 minute
Using the Guardian’s Chalkboards we look for interesting statistics from the weekend’s games and put them here for you guys.
Found an interesting Chalkboard?Just comment below,we will make sure it is added here!

Tom Cleverley has a great future


Looking at the above chalkboard,the first thing on notices that Cleverley has been all over the place.He is mobile,composed and doesnt give up possession easily.Just 6 of his passes over 90 minutes failed to reach the target.One stat which is not shown above is interceptions and tackles,and Cleverley showed us yesterday that he was quite good in the defensive department too.

Charlie Adam should show more responsibilty

 All the “hollywood” balls which Adam tried out failed to reach their target.Agreed that he was one of the players who impressed and also has an assist to his name,Adam should realise that he doesn’t have a free role at Liverpool and he may be better off with shorter passes rather than the long ball as he is surrounded by players of higher quality

David De Gea’s Distribution

This was pointed out by a certain Caramero25 over on the Guardian website that many commentators said that De Gea’s distribution was excellent.But it looks like that the Spaniard has to work on that aspect too.Compare it with the present third-choice Spain goalkeeper it looks real bad.
Note-The Upper Chalkboard is De Gea’s distribution although it says it is Reina’s.
Young needs to improve his crossing
Although Young fitted in brilliantly in United,especially his understanding with Rooney augurs well for England too,none of his crosses managed to find a player in red.He may be better off in taking a shot or cutting back inside and passing
