Tonali vs Guimareas vs Anderson

Current stats this season(no living in the past, this is what these players are now) but last season tells the same story also if you want to check. Not trying to cause ****, but it's something that's come up on here recently and thought people might be interested.

This idea he's not good enough to get in our midfield or that Tonali and Guimareas are on another level is quite simply false.

He creates more, he completes more passes long and short with a higher success rate on short and on par long, he can dribble more with a higher success rate, his pass percentage is higher than Tonalis, on par with Guimareas, he makes more tackles and wins more arial duals... He intercepts almost as many times as Tonali and way more than Guimareas.. Anderson almost wins as many duals as the other two put together.

They're all good players, but we put our own players on a pedestal.


Tonali







Guimareas









Anderson

 

For all this waffle and effort Tonali is on a different level to both Bruno and Anderson

 

Yet the numbers say differently...

He's a top player but not the great player people think he is imo anyway.

 

How many times has Anderson been dropping back into CB to snuff out attacks and move the ball up the pitch?

 

I would have (if we could) Anderson in along side Bruno and Tonali.

Anderson could sweep up behind them both to create and against the best teams play Anderson and Tonali with Bruno in front.

But we can’t. I think Joelintons a liability atm. And of course he is now going to be injured.

 

If Tonali leaves we could maybe sign Anderson

 

T

heres rumours we have a buy back clause but I’m not sure.

Miley needs minutes mind. And he’s capable and has potential.

 

I think Joelinton should be rewarded for his service with a 300k a week deal in Saudi, £60m should be enough for Eddie to let go.

 

And then Howe will sign Philip Billing

 

understand we are in a bit of a dip but lets not start re-writing history and tearing down players.

 

Anderson doesn’t inspire he’s much like the other solid effort players we’ve got everywhere in the squad. Nothing wrong with him, great work rate and reliability to perform but he’s just not as good as Tonali and a bit different to Bruno.

He went, Longstaff went, Ramsey came in, that was life with Newcastles previous “leadership”.

 

You can tell it's the international break..

 

Anderson is only the best of these three in the Matrix and even then it would still be close.

The thread reminds me of the saying "lies, damned lies and statistics". There is absolutely no way Anderson or Bruno are in Tonal's class. Watch each of them live for a number of games and the question wouldn't even be asked.

 

Tonali>Bruno>Anderson

Look at me with my arrows

 

Inequalities not arrows

 

You'll thank me in your maths test tomorrow

 

Lads…. Steve Bruce did as well as Rafa ya kna and Anderson is better than Tonali ya kna
