导出博客文章Two midfield all-rounders could decide Tottenhams game against Manchester United
at White Hart Lane this Sunday, live on Sky Sports. Tottenham host Manchester
United with both sides keen to keep pressure on the sides above them. Mousa
Dembele and Morgan Schneiderlin are two players enjoying strong seasons in
midfield and both will play crucial roles in this match.The presence of several
key English players often generates attention at Spurs, but Dembeles return to
form and full fitness has arguably been as integral to their fine season as
anything else. The Belgium international has generally partnered Eric Dier in
midfield, augmenting much of what Ryan Mason and Nabil Bentaleb produced last
year. Spurs midfield comparison Stats per 90 mins Dembele - PL 2015/16 Mason -

Dembele (Tottenham) 96 4.5 Cesar Azpilicueta (Chelsea) 94 3.3 While this is
impressive enough, and a platform from which Tottenham have sprung many attacks
this season, its the midfielders actual proficiency in this department that
stands out further.Tackles won and lost are easily accessible stats, but they
dont reveal a players actual tackling ability. Lost tackles are still successful
actions, just ones where the opposing team maintains possession. Therefore,
Optas dribbled past category, a stat highlighting when a player is beaten, can
be used to explore this better. Challenge success PL 2015/16 Tackles Dribbled

dribbled past eight times while making 96 tackles this season, giving him a 92
per cent success rate which officially classes him as the Premier Leagues
hardest man to beat.Furthermore, those near Dembeles ratio havent made anywhere
near as many tackles. No player with more than 55 tackles maintains a ratio
higher than 85 per cent and the vast majority have been dribbled past at least
twice as many times.For example, NGolo Kante leads the way with 139 tackles, but
hes been dribbled past on 45 occasions, the tenth most in the division.
Similarly, Idrissa Gueye (26 times), Erik Pieters (35) and Cesar Azpilicueta
(24) have all been beaten on at least three times as many occasions as Dembele.
Jamie Carragher says Dembele should be seen as a top defensive midfielder The
Spurs man is not just one of the Premier Leagues most frequent tacklers this
season; more importantly, hes been the best.Schneiderlin has similar disruptive
responsibilities for Manchester United. While his stats dont quite match up to
Dembeles, he still offers the most to his side in this department. Man Utd
tackles and interceptions PL 2015/16 Tackles per 90 Interceptions per 90 Tackles

Uniteds inconsistencies in attack often detract from the fact they have one of
the Premier Leagues best defensive records and Schneiderlin has played his part
in that. With the Frenchman involved, United win 54 per cent of games, taking
1.92 points per game, compared to just 29 per cent and one point without
him.While United appear more compact with Schneiderlin protecting the defence,
hes yet to offer as much in the final third as he did while at Southampton.
Given his sides publicised struggles to get shots on target this season, one can
understand Louis van Gaals occasional urge to leave the midfielder out in favour
of more attacking combinations. Schneiderlin year-on-year Premier League only
Man Utd 2015/16 Southampton 2014/15 Goals 1 4 Assists 0 1 Shots 10 30 Chances
created 9 20 In a similar amount of time on the pitch, Schneiderlins been
directly involved in just one league goal at United, shooting and creating
chances far less often than at Southampton, though he took positive steps in
this direction against Everton on Sunday.Although Marcos Rashfords back-heel,
Timothy Fosu-Mensahs cross and Anthony Martial scoring took the headlines in the
move for the only goal of the game, it was Schneiderlins long, defence-splitting
pass that prompted the move. Schneiderlin (28) produced the pass for Anthony
Martial (9) to score against Everton This more rounded involvement is what Van
Gaal and Manchester United fans will hope to see more of from their summer
signing over the next few seasons.While Schneiderlin and Dembele wont always be
head-to-head on Sunday, charged with screening their respective defences, each
man will look to disrupt opposing attackers and switch defence into attack. The
player who is more successful at doing that will provide his side with the
better platform from which to take the points. Also See: Old Spurs boys to

with Game 6 set for Fenway Park and an 8:07 p.m. ET first pitch, the Detroit
Tigers face the unenviable task of having to beat the Boston Red Sox twice, on
the road, to advance to the World Series. COLLEGE PARK, Md. -- Another early
season blowout by No. 4 Maryland provided coach Brenda Frese with another
opportunity to prepare her squad for tougher games ahead.Brionna Jones and
Shatori Walker-Kimbrough each scored 19 points before leaving early in a 97-63
rout of Towson on Tuesday night.Jones had 18 points in the first half and
Walker-Kimbrough had 16. Together, they outscored the Tigers in helping Maryland
(9-0) to a 56-29 lead at the break.The margin swelled to 34 points when Frese
removed Jones and Walker-Kimbrough for good with 6:36 left in the third quarter,
leaving the Terps bench players to finish up.Obviously were continuing to try to
work through our depth and rest some of our starters with the minutes theyre
bringing, Frese said.Jones collected eight rebounds during her 14 minutes of
playing time, and Walker-Kimbrough saw enough action during her 18-minute stint
to move into eighth place on the schools career scoring list with 1,647
points.As competitive as our starters are, I know they want to play more
minutes, Frese said. But weve got to be able to extend our depth and bring
everyone along.Thats OK with Walker-Kimbrough, who quite enjoyed the view from
the bench.Its more about the bigger picture, the senior guard said. Weve got a
lot of new players on the team and were trying to get the chemistry rolling.
With the great team that we have, the versatility, its not a drop-off when we go
out.Kristen Confroy scored 11 for Maryland, which entered with a nations best
38.0 scoring margin. This lopsided victory did little to affect that
statistic.Sianni Martin led Towson (6-2) with 19 points and Raven Bankston added
14. The Tigers were outrebounded 46-28.We played the No. 4 team in the country.
I just wanted to see if our kids were going to come out and compete, coach Niki
Reid Geckeler said. They definitely did.After scoring the final two points of
the first quarter to make it 22-10, the 6-foot-33 Jones scored Marylands first
12 points of the second quarter.dddddddddddd All the shots were layups, and two
of them resulted in 3-point plays.Jones personal scoring spree ended when
Walker-Kimbrough made a 3-point play for a 37-14 lead. The layup was set up by
the unyielding hustle of freshman Destiny Slocum, who raced from midcourt to the
baseline to whisk a bouncing ball headed out of bounds into the waiting hands of
Walker-Kimbrough.They shared a hug after the ball dropped through the hoop. It
was one of Slocums team-high six assists.BENCH PRESSTowson: The Tigers got only
six points from their reserves, a basket apiece by three players.Maryland: Blair
Watson and Brianna Fraser each scored 10 of the Terps 38 points off the
bench.POLL IMPLICATIONSThis certainly shouldnt hurt Marylands stature as one of
the top four teams in the country.Very good team. They rebound well, dont make
too many mistakes, and the bench is strong, Reid Geckeler said. It will be
interesting to see how far this team goes. They should be one of those Final
Four teams.BIG PICTURETowson: Though the Tigers dont have the size or talent to
stick with Maryland, the inside play of Brianna Bush (11 points, six rebounds)
and the court savvy of Martin should enable Towson to be competitive in the
Colonial Athletic Association.If you want to be the best, youve got to play the
best, Reid Geckeler said. Well look back on this game and say it prepared us for
CAA play.Maryland: The Terrapins put on a dazzling display in the first half as
they continue to gain momentum for their Dec. 29 home game against No. 1
Connecticut.UP NEXTTowson faces Colgate on the road Thursday night.Maryland play
at home Thursday night against St. Peters, which lost its first six games by an
average of 29 points before beating Marist on Sunday.
