Bruno Fernandes' assist for Casemiro was not only his 15th assist, it was his 100th chance created in the Premier League this season.
No other player has more than 58. FIFTY EIGHT. Do you understand how insane that is?
Btw, Klopp also lost the Europe league final in his first year at Liverpool.
They bought Mane, Wijnaldum and Matip and sold 6-7 players in his 1st summer.
They didn't do the sacking nonsense.
Give a manager proper time.
Most of these influencers/YouTubers are in their early 20s, meaning they only started watching football seriously from the 2010s. Salah, KDB, Van Dijk, etc are the first decent footballers they watched, Pep and Klopp the first managers, etc. These are all they have ever known having never experienced anything else. By default, they regard these players/managers as superior to those from the previous generation.
When they have to talk about the period they did not/were too young to experience personally, they resort to stats.
Raw stats will tell you Salah has better numbers. But it will not tell you that Salah was bought by Liverpool as a fully developed player at 25 while Ronaldo came to Utd as a teenager and had a fair bit of development to do. A better comparison would be comparing their numbers between the ages of 18 and 24 (Ronaldo left Utd for Real Madrid at 24). But they won't do that.
Raw stats also won't tell you about the quality of defenders these players faced. While Ronaldo constantly faced Terry, Cole, Campbell, Carvalho, etc, Salah faced the likes of Kompany, Vertonghen, Baines and Cahill. Do you honestly think this is comparable?
Raw stats won't also tell you how Ronaldo terrorised teams with pace, power and trickery between 2006-09 that no player has ever been able to come close to that.
Raw stats will not tell you that 34 of Salah's 184 Goals are penalties while Ronaldo's numbers have only 11 penalties.
Raw stats alone can't explain why he’s the only PL forward to win the Ballon d'Or since Michael Owen in 2001. Why hasn't Mo Salah, 'the greatest PL winger' been able to win it?
Raw stats also won't tell you why Real Madrid forked out a world record £80m fee (inflation adjusted fee of £195m) for him in 2009 after pursuing him for 2 years.
I always say stats without context are meaningless. This is another instance.
Next time get someone who has actually experienced the PL to do these debates @SkySports
Maguire is an icon. One of the most insane, personal, baseless cases of public humiliation I've ever seen, injury issues, losing the captaincy and England call-ups, United agreeing deals to sell him, and he's overcome all of it and become an important part of the squad again
