What is interesting about this stat is, iirc, Chelsea had by far the most goals conceded last season from set-pieces as a % of goals conceded.

Sir Alex press conference from today

Selected quotes:

Quote:

(what do you see in Hernandez and his success)

It's been nothing but acceleration. When we took him, reminds me what we say to our young players, take time to develop, settle, learn language, develop physically as is physical league. Put a time marker on it, and assessment was would be sub and that type of thing. When he scored first goal in Houston, Paul Scholes said after game '25 goals'. Paul Scholes doesn't say a lot, but fantastic judge. He said '25 goals', I said you think so, '25 goals. He could get the 25, and Scholes would be right, and that's the way we're looking at it, expecting it. Allowed to develop, breaking in, could speak English, is much better, comes in every morning at 9am, stays on, boy wants to be a player, helps tradition of his family, helps him, nothing short of sensational.

Quote:

(speaking of Paul Scholes and Giggs nearing end of careers, do you feel need to bring in more younger ones, and with club debt think you have funds for that)

We have certain targets in mind at the moment, and 2 or 3 will be fulfilled. Glazers always been very supportive in desires to improve team, where we our good is bringing young players, Ronaldo, Rooney, Chico, we are good at that so I don't see why we should change.

Quote:

[Barcelona are] example of how we want to play football. Look at size of Iniesta and Xavi, courage, not to avoid tackle, but take ball, and little magician Messi, wonderful to watch. Some people say 'stay clear of Barcelona' privilege to face them, a challenge. And we will learn from Rome and be better.

PSA: Read this blog.

http://blog.statdna.com/

StatDNA are a new Opta-like company that gathers data from the Brazilian and English leagues, and on their blog they use that data to analyse the game. Just this month they have looked at how defensive pressure affects goal scoring probability and pass completion, attacking third pass completion and what it tells us, and what factors affect shot quality and how that relates to scoring goals.

Seems its a knee injury of some sort, doesn't appear to be that serious.

A mosquito bite would be a serious injury for RvP. At least this isn't an ankle again.

Vidic played the full 90mins today for Serbia. Hopefully he comes back ready to go for Saturday.

Evra didn't come on for France

If you watch the video Henry is actually talking about the best midfield opponent he played against in the EPL as well as best players in other positions.
