An interesting read, goes a bit beyond the usual pundit / fan view.

Amended for you.Andreu is going to show up at robins office tomorrow morning with that second graph demanding a gentle jog in the team
Love to see the statistics lie camp and I believe my eyes more than the graphs. Think Doyle and Bayliss have once again been excellent for us. Andreu is class but needs more time to get match fit and he plays at a different speed. A fit and performing Andreu would be great for us
Andreu isn't fit at the moment which is why he hasn't featured
He should be back fairly soon - it's nothing to do with his ACL
TrueHe's still clearly not fully recovered from his ACL though. It takes time to get back up to speed after any long lay off.
Just been reading this, Andreu Saturday would of been my option but you have to assume he’s not fully fit and able.
Personally I think he’s so much to offer and this data gives evidence to that if he’s willing runners ahead of him to feed
Personally, Kelly would’ve been my choice in Bayliss’ absence. To me, Doyle and Ogogo isn’t the best combination we have in central midfield because neither are particularly confident at carrying the ball or linking up play. Kelly has a good range of passing that supplements Doyle well — even a fully fit Andreu is something of an unknown quantity in that deeper CM role. Bear in mind that he won’t be as far up the pitch to make those balls either.
Doyle is underrated in my opinion. The Sunderland game is fresh in my mind and his passing gave us momentum. There was a period in that game where we didn’t do anything with the ball and Doyle put two, maybe 3 balls into the box which led to half chances. Just kept momentum in our way. The stats back that up and he might not be the most accurate — he didn’t play well on Saturday despite redeeming himself with a goal — he’s integral to the team, no doubt about it.
