A-man still can't explain why we conceded 1.8+ goals per game against non-big6 teams without Varane last year and 0.92 goals per game with Varane
also, see whoscored rating (who combines all sorts of metrics in the game) last year
Varane 6.78
Maguire 6.65
Lindelof 6.50
Bailly 6.28
his performance score is the highest among our CBs (Jones aside, who played 1 game)
All that A-man can only say is "stats is misleading, I can't explain why but he is just bad!"
I am not saying stats are misleading, but they are misleading some people here who do not know how to work with them and how to evaluate them.
Conceded goals per game does not equal individual performance. Whoscored points are even worse.
I have never said Varane is a bad player, only that his last season was a disappointment to me. Disappointment is always in relation to expectations. I had higher expectations than you had., since I thought higher of him than you did. Since you expected less from him than I did, he managed to meet your expectations, but not mine.
We concede 2.5 times more when he doesn't play.
Yeah but he didn't play against Pool and City
Okay we still concede twice as much excluding those games
I just love Harry Maguire
Repeating a lie doesn't make it true.
If we exclude those games, these are the stats from last season:
Varane 1.1 conceded goal per 90 minutes
Maguire 1.1 conceded goal per 90 minutes
Man utd as a total 1.46 goal/90 min
I have followed Varane his whole career as I follow RM and he was always one of my favorite players. It's the evaluation method I do not agree with.
