It still surprises me.

It still surprises me. I expect the vast percentage of those passes were less than 10 yards.

It still surprises me. I expect the vast percentage of those passes were less than 10 yards.But it still contradicts one of the main criticisms of him that he gives the ball away too much. When I checked it was a higher pass rate than Carzola (the Arsenal fella) Gerrard and a quite a few others. And yes, i'm still surprised.

I'm surprised by that stat. Are they including ones that he makes during the warm-up?
Delph's problem isn't necessarily his short passing it's that his first touch is often so poor that he gets tackled and loses the ball immediately.
