What our eyes catch at each and every match we watch are almost stats.
But a far more greater amount of stats than a single piece of paper can show.
Singular stats and statistics might be misleading, because they only present a part of the truth.
They should only be used to make some specific points...
Okay, but then a natural bias exists while using statistics, geared towards one's own opinions of the matter. If they believe in one theory and the statistics back that theory up, they will promote those statistics. But if the opposite is true and the stats don't back up their opinion, then they won't even mention them.
So that's really a major problem. As I said, if you use statistics to prove a certain point, then you must apply those stats to not only all cases, but also all studies.
If we take probability theory as a measure of how the team should be conducted, one has to admit that Tiago should be fielded. That's what the stats say.
