Just wanna say a few points about this... the difference between fulham and Newcastle was ability on both wings. Just some stats here, as per, but Fulham's split between attacking down the left, centre and right was 39%, 24%, 37%, compared to Newcastle who did 26%, 23%, 50%. If Newcastle can't get past the fulham left back, they're not scoring and that's exactly what happened. What Fulham did well was be unpredictable, they didn't need to pass as much as Newcastle, shoot as much as Newcastle, but they were unpredictable enough that when they did, Newcastle weren't able to deal with it. Fulham showed exactly why Newcastle won't just walk the championship and may not even get playoffs."What stats allow you to do is not take things at face value. The idea that I trust my eyes more than the stats, I just don't buy that because I've seen magicians pull rabbits out of hats and I know I just know that rabbit's not in there." - Billy Beane
