I seem to be one of few who am happy with our CB pair, and there are many who want to upgrade them by replacing Lindelof. Some even want him to leave the club. Fans’ favourites to replace seem to be Koundé, Varane, Botman or Torres.
There are many things to discuss, but if we just look at the goals conceded, what do you guys expect to improve? Set pieces, open play?
Here are the goals conceded from the 26 PL matches Lindelof- Maguire started as CB pair this season:
The bulk of goals are open play and setpieces.
They have conceded 12 goals or 0.46 goals/game in open play. How much would that improve with a new CB?
They have conceded 0.27 goals/game from setpieces. How much do you expect that improve if we replace Lindelof?
(I hope my stats are correct...)
