Modric controls the midfield. To ask him to get you out of jail with a fantastic assist or goal is wrong. It's his job to dictate the flow of the game. Other players rely on his qualities, while he relies on other players to make use of his good work.

Modric is great

Modrics looking lazy and dissinterested, much like the end of last season. Hes not a big game player at all.

You're missing the point with these stats.

He feeds Bale, VDV and Lennon - not the striker. Half the time he picks the ball up from the back four or Parker.

I agree with Kent - he's perfect for the modern game - playing with 2 holding midfielders.

Since we are using stats, lets use the most important one. How many goals and assists?
-----------------------------------------------

His job is not to score goals, its to create them and if spurs had a decent striker than those chances created would have turned into a lot more assists.

Its not his fault the people he sets up cant score for shiite
==============

The problem with the info you provided is what is considered a chance? A one on one or a pass that isn't perfect and striker has to stretch to make minimal contact

this. Good summary

Anyone who can't see the class of Modric dont know about football.

DI NATALE!!!

Hippo, Scholes and Carrick are slated for goals and assists but look at their overall contributions to games. They also turn up against the top sides unlike Luka

Modric is not Zidane. No one in their right mind will suggest so. But to suggest that he wil not walk into virtually every top team's midfield in the EPL is fatuous.

He can improve any team's midfield in the EPL.

Mikel Arteta, 38 games, 6 goals, 3 assists

Kent, deep lying playmakers have been around for a long time.

posted on 14/6/12

Btw, a 'deep-lying midfield' is not new. haha, these kids.

A 'regista' has been common since the days of Puskas.

Modric is a decent player but he isn't someone you can rely on when the going gets tough. He disappears, it's like clockwork. Top team comes to town, Luka disappears.

+2 goals for Everton before he left

That fits also to Cristiano Ronaldo

Why is this midfield maestro asked to play wide if he controls midfield?

Can someone tell me this?
