Im willing to overlook the pass completion percentages if he is playing passes like that one to MVE last night.

He did one out to MVE in the first half too if I remember, somebody pinged the ball into his feet with a player on him and he played it out wide.

Did really well to not get booked as well (at least I think he didn’t?). Seemed to foul Cantwell about 4 times and also various other little niggly fouls on other players to disrupt them. You often need that in away games and we haven’t done any of that stuff for so long.

Yeah said it in the match thread that we rotated fouls well, although Torp did a lot of them.

It’s better than stat padding with tippy tappy passes that go 3-5 yards to the nearest player. If his shot creating actions and expected assists were low and passing % low, I’d be worried. In the event, he’s excellent at getting the ball in dangerous areas for assists.

Pass completion % can be misleading.

Yeah that’s what I want, someone who is taking risks and not looking for the safe option every time.

Think he’s another beneficiary of 3ATB personally. The less defensive responsibility he has in the middle of the pitch, the better he generally looks.

Also think Lampard has identified that he has raw ability but has got him working on the more physical side of midfield play

Yes, stats can be misleading and need some context. Dasilva probably doesn't give the ball away much but he doesn't create much from forward positions either.
