Interesting stat about our defending

[x.com]

I saw this post last night and my first thought was 'so what?'

it measures who stops crosses and blocks shots, having watched Chris Davies sides for over a year now it is not often we sit on the edge of our box defending for our lives, we defend using possession of the football and probably discourage players diving in front of things unless absolutely necessary.

stats are fun (if you are sad like me) but all they do is tell one part of a story, you need all the data to paint a fuller picture.
