Finney Is Back
Luka Modric
Ah, I see it.
I can only assume it's not counted because it's taking the player away from goal.
Just looked at another site and they've counted it, although they count 3 fewer dribbles so swing and roundabouts. Even so, I'd expect far more attacking output (and at least a single defensive action) from one of our forwards, wouldn't you?
It depends.... Perhaps Townsend tracked Ashley Cole's runs so well that Chelsea weren't able to get him the ball in an attacking situation? Perhaps Townsend was playing so well that Cole couldn't get forward at all? Perhaps you could ask the professional who is paid to record these things?
