Do a sensible post next time.  Don't mix Bailey's with Guiness and Sambuca and Brandy and Martini.

I think he’s quoting the video. I tried to watch it all but to be frank it wasn’t the most engaging. Ymmv.

Goals p/game isn't the best stat when comparing strikers from completely different teams and circumstances. 

 

You're better comparing goals from chances / shots. 

 

I've not checked but I'm willing to bet Vardy would be even further ahead if you did.

I wouldn't swap vardy for any striker in the league Purley for what he brings to the team. I dont think his work rate is matched. Or his selflessness.

Tifo tries to put a best 11 of 2020 outside the usual big 6 clubs. They put proper thought into it and used actual stats to explain their reasons (for the most part). 

 

Cliff notes: Only Vardy and Ndidi gets in from Leicester. Ricardo is acknowledged to be the best RB but he is injured so can't be included. 

 

My only disagreement with this they put Tarkowski & Adam Webster as a CB pairing. One plays hoofball under Dychr and the other is part of one of the worst teams of 2020.

He’s been mustard “this season” but he was largely anonymous for large periods before after the restart last season in 2020 and our form suffered because of it. I’m comfortable with him being omitted here but if he continues his form currently I’d be shocked if he didn’t make it in to this revised team of the season. 
 

But also yeah tbf, Souchek wasn’t any better

Everton fans rattled. They've been in the Premier League since its inception and have zero Champions League campaigns and 1 FA Cup. We have more in way less time.

Everton have had Champions League campaign they just lost in the qualifying rounds to Villarreal as I remember some very dodgy refereeing resulting in Collina’s retirement after the game.

I remember that but I dont count that as being in the Champions League if you don't even make the group stages.

He didn't catch their eye.

He really should have. 8 goals, 7 assists, and a goal on his senior Portugese debut at the age of 20.
