Not to take the gloss of Andreu here - I just wanted to point out how important Dimas has been to the team.

 

Going forward

 

Dimas is producing 58.1% accuracy with long balls. Andreu is only at 41.6%

 

Passing accuracy in the opponents half is close. Dimas at 77.3% whereas Andreu is at 76.4%. Both players are producing over 82% passing accuracy overall with over 33% of pass attempts going forwards.

 

Chance creation is at 24 to 11 in favour of Dimas. Andreu is yet to register an assist whereas Dimas has 1.

 

Defensively

 

Andreu has been successful in 19/22 tackle attempts. Dimas 19/30. Good stats for both players here. Andreu unsurprisingly ahead due to a lower foul count and different marking assignments.

 

In terms of duels, Dimas is 64/107, Andreu is 38/83. Again, not surprising as Andreu is pressing more negatively geared players. Dimas' numbers are very impressive here.

But they play very very different positions. Dimas is a clear 8, Andreu a clear 6.

Both have been awesome.

Technically Dimas is the 6 and Andreu the 8 but both players have a hybrid role and have been fluid in the centre of the park - Andreu defensively and Dimas offensively.

 

When your ball winner is producing those kinds of long range passing stats, and your deep lying playmaker is producing that kind of tackling percentage, what are the opposition going to do? We've got the most complete deep lying midfield duo the league has probably seen to date.

 

Previous Wanderers in those positions have been much more rigid in similar roles.

He's a ******* boss.

One of those players you hardly notice, when he has a fantastic game! Not enough love in this thread for him clearly!

I watch him and Andreau all game. Centre Mid was my spot, so its nice to watch them operate in the area im familiar with. They are great.

Dimas is a boss.
