Simply not true. Made more recoveries per 90 min than Maguire according to statsbomb. Also made more blocks.
Yes he makes few tackles, interceptions and clearences. A lot of great CBs do, and it is a poor measure of how good a CB is used by people who dont understand the numbers or the game.
Again. All of them
combined. Taking individual statistics instead of looking at the whole picture using them is silly. Combine the tackles, interceptions, clearances, headers, even the "recoveries" even though it just means getting a ball nobody is in control of so its not actually defending anything. There is no top CB who is as low with these combined. Maguire comes out way on top, doing the vast majority of the work.
Examples of how silly your comment is - Schar and Bednarek have the most interceptions from CBs who played regularly. Does that 1 individual statistic make them the 2 best CBs in the league ? No. They don't do so well in a number of other statistics which shows why they dont come out on top overall.
Boly had the most tackles out of the CBs that played regularly. I guess he's the best CB.
Federico Fernandez made the most clearances, I guess he's the best CB
Mings blocked the most shots, I guess he's the best CB
Kortney Hause won the most headers, I guess he's the best CB
Its really strange that there are 5 or 6 of the one best CB. And none of them are VVD. Huh
But if you look at the combined numbers, VVD is at the top
Thats what fills out whats important.
