If you use stats to judge centre backs you’re an absolute retard...

Mustafi makes/averages more tackles than VVD but does that make him better? Of course not, VVD barely tackles because that’s not his style, he barely needs to, he just intercepts play & blocks off passes/shots.

Also, using goals converses to judge them is stupid becuase that’s down to the defenders + the keeper as a whole instead of 1 CB on the back line, centre-back is 100% eye test & I won’t be convinced otherwise.

If stats were truly the best way to measure centre-backs then Mustafi would be better than VVD, but I’ve clearly debunked that earlier. End of thread https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👍🏿" title="Thumbs up (dunkler Hautton)" aria-label="Emoji: Thumbs up (dunkler Hautton)">
