Mmmmm. Interesting. I have a worry that this is blaming defenders for goals conceded. Do the stats include details of goals conceded because midfielders or forwards have given away the ball as a result of a poor pass or weak challenge or being out of position?

Are stats available for positive work done by defenders? Last-ditch tackles? Even successful tackles? Headed clearances? Accurate passes out of defence?

Can stats cover problems such as possible hesitation or errors caused by constant change of goalkeepers?

I wasn't at the game and have not seen the highlights but I notice the criticism of Liddle apparently being out of position. Why was he? Had he been making a justifiable attacking move? If so, where was the cover?
