Why Mido Is King Of The Pharaohs

Under this title, Boro website published a long and detailed article which is full of interesting stats about their top scorer Mido. The article compared him to Zaki and other top Premier League goalscorers. The interesting conclusion is that Mido's goalscoring record per minutes player is one of the highest in the league and even exceeds that of Amr Zaki, Germain Defoe and Agbonlahor.

The article:

FELLOW Egyptian Amr Zaki may be hogging the headlines after an explosive introduction to the Barclays Premier League, but Boro's Mido boasts a far superior ratio of goals to minutes on the pitch this season.

Zaki, currently on loan at Wigan and seen below being tackled by David Wheater, has blasted his way to joint top of the Barclays Premier League scoring charts alongside French striker Nicolas Anelka with eight goals apiece this season.

But pal and Pharaohs' team-mate Mido's crucial goal on Saturday takes him to four for the season - and he's achieved that despite being on the pitch for fewer than half as many minutes as Zaki.

Boro's top scorer, Mido, who at 25 is his compatriot's senior by just five weeks, takes an average of just 108 minutes to score a goal, compared to Zaki's 121.

The stats are even more impressive if Zaki's two penalties are excluded, revealing that without them he takes 161 minutes per goal - almost 50% longer than Mido.

The £6m signing's impressive ratio is significantly better than those of top strikers like Jermain Defoe (146 minutes per goal), Gabriel Agbonlahor (148) Emanuel Adebayor (149), Darren Bent and John Carew (both 150).

Only Cristiano Ronaldo and Anelka among the leading scorers have better ratios than Mido, with the Manchester United ace taking just 94 minutes per goal and the Chelsea star on 106.


Manchester City's British record signing Robinho's recent hat-trick boosted his minutes per goal ratio to 117.

Former Boro striker Yakubu, the man Mido replaced, has failed to repeat his goalscoring form of last season with Everton and is currently averaging 311 minutes per goal.

Mido started the season on the bench at home to Spurs and came on to score against his old side, repeating the feat in the next match, against Liverpool at Anfield, adding a Carling Cup goal against Yeovil three days later.

He celebrated his first start of the season, at Portsmouth, by giving Boro the lead with the team's quickest league goal season, but he has since missed a number of matches with niggling injuries.

However, he was back in familiar style at the weekend, hitting a fine free-kick through the wall to earn Boro a point against West Ham at the Riverside.
