TAA isn’t hard to get past, he just isn’t much of an actual defender and we’ll all see that when he plays for England. It’s been said before, Klopps system disguises the limitations of a lot of his players.

Is that what he came through the system as? Wouldn't have put him as a cm at all.
The good thing about TAA is that he only has to face Rashford a couple of times a season, thus limiting the number of times he gets destroyed
TAA fits Klopp's system perfectly. He isn't the best defensively, but is fantastic going forwards. The fact that Liverpool tend to play with 3 CMs that will all work hard defensively means that he is well covered.
AWB is better defensively, but obviously not as good going forwards. I don't think that he is as bad offensively as some make out. Indeed, I suspect he would have quite a few more assists this season had we had Ighalo from the start of the season. He has flashed several good balls across the box for us to not have anyone attacking that space.
For me TAA should be first choice for England. Certainly against teams that we should be beating. But that doesn't mean that AWB doesn't have a role to play for England and it could well be that he is used against the better teams, or to do a job against a specific player. Eg, Hazard for Belgium.
Let's do the stats route then. PL only since one plays in the CL and one Europa.
TAA assists 12, Wan Bassaka 2
TAA big chances created 16, Wan Bassaka 3
TAA dispossessed 9, AWB 35
TAA cleansheets 10, AWB 7
TAA goals conceded 21, AWB 28
TAA 67% tackle success rate, AWB 67%
TAA errors leading to goal 1, AWB 0(although he conceded a penalty, is this not an error leading to a goal? )

I liked your idea orAWB in the back three.
I think TAA not being great defensively is a bit ignorant tbh, I don't mean that in a bad way.
He's gets next to no protection from Salah unless we're playing a very good team and if you look at his heat maps it's almost impossible to play his role and not leave space behind. I've seen Trent sh!t all over Sane against City, there not much problem at all technically with his defending. Maybe worries about his inside channel too much which ironically means he can be got at outside but when you're running back that can happen.

My thoughts are that they are a bit selective. For example they might have the same tackle success rate, but AWB has made twice as many tackles as TAA in 3 less games. He has also made 53 interceptions to TAA's 36. And won 185 duels to TAA's 85. And 43 successful 50/50s to TAA's 18.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yes and these stats show tactically one is employed more offensively and one more defensively, although it is interesting that TAA keeps the same tackle success rate of AWB regardless, as well as all the assists and big chances created. Also in terms of offensively and even defensively, TAA takes freekicks and corners, therefore he's not one of the players left back, whereas I believe AWB is and therefore will have more tackles to make.
Interesting debate in terms of their roles in the team and what the stats say.

Didn't want to rub it in. What's your take on the other stats?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
My thoughts are that they are a bit selective. For example they might have the same tackle success rate, but AWB has made twice as many tackles as TAA in 3 less games. He has also made 53 interceptions to TAA's 36. And won 185 duels to TAA's 85. And 43 successful 50/50s to TAA's 18.

Yes and these stats show tactically one is employed more offensively and one more defensively, although it is interesting that TAA keeps the same tackle success rate of AWB regardless, as well as all the assists and big chances created. Also in terms of offensively and even defensively, TAA takes freekicks and corners, therefore he's not one of the players left back, whereas I believe AWB is and therefore will have more tackles to make.
Interesting debate in terms of their roles in the team and what the stats say.
