Mata: 11 assists in 28(4) games
Lampard: 5 assists in 25(3) games
A. Cole: 6 assists in 30(1) games
Analysis: He has had a ratio of an assist every 3 games. And it is likely to improve in a team of better quality than Bremen provided our strikers don't continue misfiring in 2012-13. In previous 5 seasons, he has constantly notched over 10 assists. The fall this year has been on account of playing in AMC and injuries.
Shots per Game (other than strikers)
Marin: 1.5
Lampard: 2.1
Mata: 1.9
Meireles: 1.7
Analysis: He doesn't shoot as frequently at goals like our other players do. Comparatively, Sturridge has 3 per game from the right.
Pass Success Percentage
Marin: 79.6%
All the players exceed him except Torres, Cech and Drogba.
Mata and Lampard (comparable players) have 86.8%, Ramires has 85.1%
Analysis: Poor pass completion ratio as compared to our other players. May be because of being played out of position and the quality of Bremen team. But still, to be kept in mind. Needs to be more disciplined.
Aerial Duels Won
Marin: 0.1 per game
Mata: 0.0
Lampard 0.3
Ramires: 0.4
Analysis: Not much to analyse. 5'7" height. Poor header of ball. Akin to Mata, doesn't prefer entering into aerial duels.
Key Passes
Marin: 1.9 per game
Mata: 3
Lampard: 1.8
Meireles: 1.4
Analysis: Noteworthy improvement in our current squad. Another stat that is likely to improve with better players around him as compared to Bremen. Likely to combine well at LW with Mata at AMC.
Successful Dribbles
Marin: 2.1 per game
Ramires: 1.6
Torres: 1.1
Luiz: 1
Analysis: Massive improvement as compared to what we currently have. Bar 3 players, none of the others average a dribble per game. Has an excellent burst of acceleration. Likes to take on an beat his man. This is from AMC, so might improve considerably at LW.
Accurate Crosses
Marin: 1.3 per game
Mata: 1.7
Malouda: 1.1
Lampard: 0.9
Analysis: Again, brings an improvement to the team. And considering that he has played at AMC, this stat might improve considerably at LW.
Key Strengths
Dribbling
Holding onto ball (1.2 dispossession per game, compared to 1.7 of Mata and Ramires, 1.9 of Malouda, 2.4 of Sturridge)
Key passes
Attracting fouls (2 per game, compared to 1.3 of Ramires, 1.2 of Drogba and Luiz)
Weakness
Finishing
Passing
Defensive Contribution
Overall Analysis: Significant improvement to the overall squad, considering that these statistics are from probably his worst season in 5 years and not playing at his regular position on wings. Will be a very useful squad player, will regularly get games although may not regularly start. At €8 million, surely a bargain for a 23 year old international.
