You are literally comparing them on assists in the first paragraph of this post.
It isn’t putting Robertson down to say he isn’t as good as Cole. Cole was absolutely exceptional and the best I’ve seen. I don’t know who is second best because I’m not old enough to have seen all the great Premier League left-backs. All I know is that Robertson is excellent but not at the same level as Cole was.
It must be a grim life to view everything in such black and white terms as you do.
Win percentages
If you want a couple of stats in Cole’s favour - he has more tackles per game (1.60 to 1.55) and a much higher tackle success rate (74% to 64%).
Considering how much the role of a full back has changed since Cole, and the drastically different playing style of the teams they played in, doing this on stats alone is nonsensical anyway. Robertson’s attacking stats read far better, but he’s also playing in a time when full backs are far more involved in attacking play and for a team who direct so much of their play through the full backs.
I’m sure it’s likely that TAA has some attacking numbers far better than many of the great Premier League right-backs, but I highly doubt you’ll be arguing his case to be the greatest right-back anytime soon.
From the left-backs I’ve seen Cole is way out on his own and Robertson won’t be “leaving him in the dust” any time soon. Fairly sure most who’ve seen both of them play would agree with that. That isn’t a criticism of Robertson but no doubt you’ll rattle on for another few pages quoting “win percentages” and “goals scored” while boring the tits off everybody.
