Just because Lindelof also creates chances with his passes doesn’t mean can’t contribute in other ways. In your stats he has basically the same number of forward passes as Maguire.It's not people don't understand, it's about whether you are willing to understand it. You are not willing to do it because all the stats I gave you don't suit your argument. We are not talking 5-10 games of average here, we are talking about 30+ games of average per 90 minutes. It's not possible to have high number based on those overall 30+ games if you are not consistent enough. For example, you only give me clips of 4-5 Lindelof's long passes that directly to forward's chance creation, the stats of chances created or key passes don't show high number because he doesn't do it in consistent basis in those 30+ games.
When I gave you the variety of progressive ball that Maguire made in total earlier in this thread, you chose to ignore them but only focus on one aspect of his passing style to Shaw. This is where my argument started, why are you focussing on one aspect to judge the quality of player's ball playing? And you couldn't give me an explanation for it.
If you combine that information with the information of the one game stats as sample, and the information of the per 90 mins stats. It gives you understanding the more variety what Maguire offers in his ball playing ability.
This is what you don't understand. Ball playing centre back's main task is not to create chance but to build up the play from the back, to dictate, to supply the ball progressively to your attackers or your creative players. Creating chances is not their job, that's why their chances created numbers are relatively low. Even Lindelof's chance created total are equal to Maguire in this league, it doesn't reflect to quality of ball playing ability. Thus, it's wrong to judge quality of ball playing ability based on that because chances created is for our front four and full backs jobs. Agree?
Anyway I’m out of this endless discussion.
