Passing

[life on mars]

And how many of those passes were from the half way line back to the keeper?

spot on, this stat should only be calculated once over the halfway line in the oppositions half , otherwise its a senseless stat in participial in this league , Premiership /European and the mind numbing International football tactics ,are a whole different ball game .

Number of passes is immaterial, it's the quality of the passes that matter and that's in danger of becoming an issue as far as we are concerned.
