The Big Numbers – Gameweek 2

As another Gameweek edges towards its conclusion, we handpick the standout statistics over Saturday and Sunday’s nine Premier League fixtures. Andre Villas-Boas’ shift to 4-3-3 brings a Tottenham new boy onto our radar, a certain Saints frontman catches our attention, City’s midfield schemer offers goal promise, while a trio of Everton’s assets also make the cut:

    Name one Spanish player that Mourinho has ever liked / favored...

    It's pretty clear he does not like the Spanish. He even refused to give press conferences in Spanish initially at Real claiming he doesn't speak the language fluently. Guess what, he was a translator at Barcelona...No wonder he had so many conflicts with the Spanish players at Madrid, he never really favored any of them - Ramos, Cassilas, even Alonso had issues with him. I am not surprised he doesn't like Mata either.
