davieG Posted 22 May 2013 Posted 22 May 2013 LCFC Twitter 89% - @10_kingy had the highest pass success rate of all #LCFC players in the 2012/13 @npower_Champ season. Accurate Probably why he's anonymous ?
Mike the Metal Ed Posted 22 May 2013 Posted 22 May 2013 Nope. He's crap. Doesn't do anything. I know cos I listen to Stringoh and e nevoh gets menshunnd.
Bryn Posted 22 May 2013 Posted 22 May 2013 It's a creditable stat. It is one I would expect of him; he's not exactly slicing defences apart with risky forward passes, more keeping things ticking over, but that's not to detract from that being a good level of passing accuracy for him to have attained. He was excellent this season.
kingfox Posted 22 May 2013 Posted 22 May 2013 Rather have Stephen Hughes and Gareth Williams partnership back.
glenny_fox Posted 22 May 2013 Posted 22 May 2013 The same as Iniesta!! does that mean Kingy is just as good as him??
Houdini Logic Posted 22 May 2013 Posted 22 May 2013 His all round game really came into its own the back end of last season - hope it kicks off that way in 2013/14
ealingfox Posted 22 May 2013 Posted 22 May 2013 King, King, Andy Andy King, he gets the ball, he passes it with 89% accuracy, Andy Andy King!
Guest Col city fan Posted 22 May 2013 Posted 22 May 2013 It's a creditable stat.

He was excellent this season. You've absolutely hit the nail on the head!! Well done! King is 'keeping things ticking over'... What a fookin waste..... I made the point yesterday regarding how good Andy King could be... And stick with it. In a 4-4-2 overrun away at Millwall and Peterborough.. Nah. Play him the right way and you'll get so much more out of him than 'ticking over'.
The Guvnor Posted 22 May 2013 Posted 22 May 2013 I would if I passed sideways 5 yards, and backwards.
Fez of Mahrez Posted 22 May 2013 Posted 22 May 2013 Have been interested in the past about what King's passing stats might be. Rarely gives it away. The criticism doesn't stack up for me. We almost always look better with him in the team, he passes accurately in a team often criticised for being direct, he still scores goals even if it's not as many as before. He's underrated by a lot of our fans, which is a shame for an Academy graduate with so many appearances for the club.

Dr The Singh Posted 22 May 2013 Posted 22 May 2013 He is a good champoinship player, although a good pass rate, i don't think his passing is effective as it could be, but the guy does alot of tracking and puts 100 %, i hope one day he gets to play in prem, it's the least he deserves, even for one season.
Ashley Posted 22 May 2013 Posted 22 May 2013 I'd have an 89% pass rate if i only passed it 2 yards. not even going to nibble.
Fox92 Posted 22 May 2013 Posted 22 May 2013 Good player, and I like King, but he does pass short and backwards/sidewards a lot, so it's going to be high.
Corky Posted 22 May 2013 Posted 22 May 2013 Can't read too much into it, he doesn't have the most extensive passing range so it will be high, but he does try and use the ball intelligently and doesn't hold onto it too long.
davieG Posted 22 May 2013 Author Posted 22 May 2013 James's passing is similar, short and sideways certainly no more adventurous than King yet is seen by many as the new exciting, reliable new kid on the block seemingly more effective than King, his pass success rate is obviously not as good as Kings. I don't think his tackling is more significant than King either.
Alf Bentley Posted 22 May 2013 Posted 22 May 2013 I'd expect Matty James' figure to be pretty high, too. Drinky would've started high, then fallen off a cliff. I'd expect ratings for the wide players to be much lower, due to having to gamble on runs for crosses, though Marshall keeps possession quite well for a winger. Of the front men, I'd expect Nugent and Vardy's ratings to be decent. I hope Vardy gets another chance (maybe via a loan spell to build confidence) as his possession, team play and passing was very good, just lacking in the finishing department. Having praised Whitbread's aerial ability the other day, I'd have to say that I'd expect his pass completion rating to be among the worst, with Keane possibly the best of the defenders.... Come on! Publish the full stats!
fleckneymike Posted 22 May 2013 Posted 22 May 2013 Those who understand football get Andy King, those who watch, to quote Javier Clemente... "The cows at [Athletic's countryside training ground] Lezama have seen a lot of football and they haven't got a ****ing clue"
