Trent Alexander-Arnold

[Charly]

Full backs are obviously not known for there aerial ability looking at that list

Thats true, but at the same time... 20% means he is winning 1 in 5. Bradley is getting similar numbers to VVD.

Looking back

2023/4 57.1
2022/3 60.6
2021/2 53.6
2020/1 25.8
2019/20 33.3
2018/19 28.1
2017/18 22.7

He was actually posting some decent numbers the past 3 seasons (for a fullback).

Just casually pointing out Nat has a better heading stat than VVD. Casually.

Wouldnt surprise me if most of his other stats were better too.

Our Nat is doing pretty good for himself while in a worse team. No surprise really after he single handedly got us into the champions league and every judas here turned their back on him!

This has felt like the longest international break of all time

Wow, he's won 94% of his blocks too. Impressive stuff.

I thought it might be this.

Percentage and percentile are not the same thing.

That table is not saying that Phillips has won 94% of his aerials. Nor do those tables tell us that Phillips is out performing VvD statistically.

Look at the explanations under each of the tables. VvD is being ranked against other CBs in the top 5 leagues and CL/EL.

Phillips is being ranked against CBs in the Championship and other secondary divisions and lower level leagues.

Spot on.


That is saying he is in the top 6% for winning aerial duels in the Championship this season. It is not his % for winning duels.

If vlahka goes through the break down of his stats on that same page his % for winning aerial duels for the season to date is 70.6%.

77 duels won and 32 lost.

Go down to near the bottom of his page and it is in the section called Miscellaneous Stats: Domestic Leagues.

Yep and not even just the Championship. 13 other leagues are folded in there too. The likes of MLS, Brazil, Mexico etc and the 2nd tiers for Germany, Portugal, Italy, Spain.

So what you're saying is he's the best defender in the league hes in, the leagues below him, and every other league in europe and south america. Excellent!

Probably a toss up between him and Dan Burn is what I think Mark79 is saying.

But if I were you, I would wait to see what Mark3 has to say about it as he is the top tier Mark around these parts.

I wonder if all marks are connected via borg hivemind.. Still, I'm pretty sure I know he's going to say Nat is the bestest. I mean how can you not? Bring him back Slot.

Fockin' 'ave 'im!!!

Did you know he is dating Liam Gallagher's daughter?
