Swansea Boss Carlos Carvalhal Uses Bizarre Chicken Analogy to Explain Why He Is Not a Fan of Stats

Swansea City manager Carlos Carvalhal produced another odd analogy in his latest pre-match press conference, this time involving statistics...and picnics.

Carvalhal was talking ahead of his side's trip to Brighton and Hove Albion this weekend, where they will hope to extend the one-point gap between themselves and the Premier League relegation zone.

When asked by a journalist about the amount of points his side will require to guarantee their Premier League safety, the Swansea boss said it's hard to know the figure and used a poultry-based analogy in an attempt to explain why he's not a fan of statistics in football.
