Pugh 0.00 0 1I split up the field into attacking, middle, and defensive thirds and into left, center, and right sides of the fields. I also noted if a play occurred in the 18 or 6 yard box. If it gets kinda hard to read, just remember that “A”" means the opponent’s third of the field, “M” refers to the middle third, “D” refers to the defensive third. The letters R, C, and L refer to right, center, and left sides of the field, respectively.

A take on is “won” if the player dribbles past a defender, turns a defender to create open space, or draws a foul. A take on is “lost” if the ball is tackled away, regardless of who recovers the ball or where it ends up, or if the player loses possession through a lost touch or a ball shield.

<0 rows> (or 0-length row.names)Kicks and throws from the goalkeepers can be cut off by the broadcast, which can prevented from seeing what the goalkeeper did with the ball after winning it. Those instances are not counted in this table and this should be taken into consideration when looking at these numbers.
