Yes, go check out NSC pal Brian Sciaretta's article on Anderlecht midfielder Sacha Kljestan, But I'd most urgently like to draw your attention to this passage, which covers the precise thing I intended to research for eons and kept forgetting to do.
Renders' analysis shows that in Anderlecht’s last 108 games (for a total of 324 possible points), the club has won 72.8% of all possible points with Kljestan on the field. In the 22 games where Kljestan did not play, the club accumulated just 42.4% of the points (28 out of 66).
Any other questions, those who will not believe he's actually become this good?

Can we ooh and aah at Will's new column on ASN, as well?
I'm assuming he will post it.
I'm a hater. I'll admit it. He doesn't impress me. I'm happy he's doing well at the club level. But I don't want to see him getting any meaningful USMNT minutes.
I'll support Kljestan all day, every day. Why? Cuz his wife was in Entourage, that's why. Can someone explain offsides to me?
alex, the main thing to understand, is that you cant be offsides directly from a corner, and there has to be a defender plus the keeper between the goal and the offensive player recieving the pass, when the pass is made.
an offensive player even with the last defender is considered to be onsides, and it did not used to be like that.
I love a good sarcasm fail. Well done, dik.
jay, you got some serious anger issues buddy. ill let it slide though, because i know you cant help yourself.
Me? I'm not angry. I'm laughing!
good!
ANy rumors if Omar is leaving? Seems weird that I have not read anything about him...
mike, nuremberg are probably trying to work a deal for omar, and since he was injured on their pitch, they might be looking to get the product for a little below market value. (sarcasm?)
but you know when things are quiet, thats when something is going on.
Why did I have a sneaking suspicion that it would be dik who replied to my joke.
ahhh, that was an episode where vince was betting big on soccer games, is that it? whatever, it flew by me, as everyone suspected.
No she was in a couple episodes as a driver for Turtle's driving service.
so whats up with the comments about the offsides? i was thinking maybe that was some dialogue from the show where vince goes to watch, what i think might be a brasil game. whose house is he at on that show? for bonus points.
I said the offside line because I figured the previous comment about supporting a player cuz of this attractive wife made me seem a bit superficial (Dennis Hopper)
Maybe superficial is the wrong word, as Michael Scott would say: vapid.
it was a decent show, not HBO's best obviously, but not bad. i was watching gross point blank the other day, early ari.
Grosse Pointe Blank is one of my favorite movies of all time. Easy top 10, if not top 5. It's perfect.
i new that spelling wasnt right.
greg, everyone knows you are a sucker for a good score.
Two Dempsey goals today...
