I did say that indeedio and it's true.Wasn’t it you who very recently said, statistics are useful, but it is how they are interpreted that is key.
People these days can roll out umpteen statistics about so many things.
All of us are guilty of Confirmation Bias at times. All of us me included.
We nowadays use often abstract stats to support our views.
Quicksilvera, Ayton Mews and others will use stats to support particular players who others watch with ongoing frustration at what they perceive as obvious weakness.
It is differing opinions formed by us all watching most if not all of the matches.
Data is fine, it can be manipulated to provide information, which is better, but insight is key.
People throw a lot of data about as though it is insight and proof of their stance.
However statistics are the only objective measure we have for football. Everything else is opinion.
I would suggest you go ahead and look at Engels stats on one of the stat sites and try and interpret them into engel being a bad fullback?
You will struggle to do that.
