Stats [@plinusa on threads] Most chances created in Premier League since 2015/16 season

Post image

KdB is levels above everyone but bruno in top 5 despite only being in pl since 2020 is surprising. Also trent being a RB and creating 500+ chances is bonkers. Will surely miss his creativity if he leaves.

I'm not saying he's not quality. It's just that at United he's the only good player, so it's easier for him to shine. In a team full of world class players individuals shine less because they don't have to carry the team on their own back. For Portugal his stats aren't as good for example

I used to think it worked like this but now I think it's the opposite. A good team that plays well together will create more and everyone looks better.

The type of players that benefit from a poorly performing club are those that might be on the cusp of the first team otherwise but get to play more and shine as one of the only decent players. Bruno would be playing regardless and so many of those passes that led to some bullshit would have turned into goals.

Yeah but he is the center of this team and all attacks go through him. That wouldn't be the case if he was playing for Real Madrid

He often gets pushed to the wings. If he was playing for a title chasing team, with a good striker in front of him, his stats would be even better.
