If 1 defender presses and the other stands off, only 1 will have good stats.

Its ok, just admit that stats are useless and you got it wrong with Tarks and we can move on.
You're like almost there. But never quite.

The last part is defenders stats are heavily influenced by how much defense a side plays and since Tarkowski is tasked with being aggressive in a team that plays entirely too much defense (thanks Frank) he racks up tons of "stats." It doesn't mean he's better than Ruben Dias for example who will rank very low in all of these.
 
OK, I don't really want to go into a long "why CB stats aren't very reliable" thing so I'm just leaving you with you can't cite the tweets you've posted as evidence of that opinion. It's either Tarkowski great, Coady bad or nothing.
Or, now get this.

I watch the games they have played in and I consider both to be having a great season.

And I choose to continue ignoring digits on a screen.

In this case yeah you should do that. My record on this is clean, I do not think stats work for defenders.

We differ on midfield and attack obviously, I feel you can quantify things there in a way that is helpful and you I'm certain never will. But then that's why I know Iwobi is the man long before you. You've got Gordon pegged at least.

You got lucky with Iwobi, he improved, massively, you didnt get it right.

But anyway, thats for another thread.

Keep telling yourself that.

Anyway I'll be wrong on Tarkowski when he's awesome on a team that actually plays football more than once in twelve games. I'd never have said anything if I knew we were going to play like Burnley!

I didnt know our Central Defender would be defending, he says and keeps a straight face.

No further questions your honour.

We stepped out for like 10 minutes to chase the game at Villa and he ran all around looking hopeless. Let's play up the pitch and see how it goes.
