Well, on the BBC web site, Garth Crooks has Young and ZZ in his team of the week.

Personally, I think the random opinions of pundits like Garth are much more valuable than scientifically devised statistics. The problem is that the Opta machine has never actually played the game at the highest level.

i thought fabregas had a mare at bluescouse yesterday, thought he was rubbish really! How did he get in that team!

Yep, there are lies, damned lies and Carling Opta stats.

Another Americanisation of the game - an obsession with irrelevant stats, soon they'll have passing yards, throw completion and who knows what else.

Penalty shoot outs to decide draws? Now I'm being ridiculous...
