The invisible stats

The stats that are not kept, and therefore are not appreciated, but are nonetheless critically important are these: Passes Not Received and Shots Not Taken. How many times did the player who was being defended want the ball, but could not get it because of the defender, or wanted to take a shot, but could not get it off because of the defender. Hugely critical factor in the game that is almost entirely ignored.
