Eheh, it's more like a perfect example of how the way numerical data are presented can sway our judgement.
A goal every 3.5 games looks just as terrible for someone whose biggest attribute is to be scoring and creating goals
Probably but he'll have been in an 'Irish Pub'
Of course, a top club like Utd should have someone that scores way more in his position.
Marcus Rashford failed to score in the 71% of last 140 games for Manchester United.
The hype was because we lost every week and he was the shining light. The reality was he had a fair few average games where his lack of pace was evident but we all overlooked it
That one never feels 'right'. All those ''it's a whole new ball game!" promos never once factored in the crests of West Ham and Newcastle? It's just weird.
Chelsea using 2022 data for that report. That probably changes it doesnt it?
He was MOTM I think too. Despite being at fault for one of the goals
Steve Bruce turned down playing for England, that's why he never got a cap.

Anything remotely decent at that club is always touted as the greatest of all time ever never to be surpassed
They won the European cup that season though, the last time Madrid lost a European final.
Madrid lost to Fergie's Aberdeen in the Cup Winner's Cup final in 82/83.
Martial's in his ninth season at the club. He'll have qualified for a testimonial if he survives to the end of next season.Shaw has been at the club for almost 10 years.
Time is not supposed to fly by so fast!
Another reason why goal stats suck
That is insane... what a shame after how he started against the dippers
Goals stats may suck, but this is just cherrypicking. Ronaldo has scored against Spain (3) and France (2). Since he's also scored against Germany (1) and Argentina (1), that means he's scored against the last 4 World Cup winners, which is more relevant than scoring against England.
Well firstly his goal against Argentina was 13 years ago in a friendly so them winning the world cup recently is completely and utterly irrelevant. His goals against Spain were 8 years after they won the world cup also. Then, just look at his record:
Automatic qualification should still count as such, no?
the international breaks were the only chance he got to write his novels.
It’s similar to how Dundee United have never lost against Barcelona.
That was a sympathy call up. As far as I remember he was well into his thirties at that stage. He was right to reject it
33/34 years old and the call-up was for a friendly against Nigeria, for which England were short of centre-backs.
