A dive into Koulibaly and Upamecano’s statistics present some interesting facts.
While the pair are head and shoulders above Rudiger for total duels won, tackles won per match and interceptions per game, they aren’t significantly better than the trident of Christensen, Zouma and Tomori.
The Senegalese wins 60 percent of his total duels, makes 1.1 interceptions per match and 2.6 tackles per game, while the France U-21 international’s stats read 60 percent of successful tussles, 1.5 interceptions and 1.9 tackles respectively.
Christensen wins 65 percent of his duels, makes 1.3 interceptions per game and wins 2 tackles per match. Zouma, on the other hand, is successful in 66 percent of challenges, makes 1.9 interceptions and wins one tackle per outing, while Tomori’s read 62 percent of total duels won, 1.5 interceptions per match and 1.9 tackles per game.

How many matches have these defenders played individually? When you play lesser number of matches, your ratio tend to be higher...

I just bumped into this article that critically looks into four different statistics to compare the trio of Zouma, Christensen and Fikayo Tomori. There's no doubt that Frankie is unsure about his best centre back partnership. On a personal note, I believe that have been our biggest undoing this season.

Rudiger has undoubtedly been the most consistent performer at the heart of defense for us, but who gets to pair with him, remains the unanswered question.

So here is what I got, read through and draw your conclusions.

Aerial Ability

There is one clear winner here: Kurt Zouma. The Frenchman has won 68.87% of his aerial duels this season, which is even marginally above Rudiger (68.49%).

In comparison, Christensen is decidedly worse, winning 57% of his aerial challenges against opponents, while Tomori struggles in the air (50.56%).

Defensive Duels

Being in more one-on-one battles with opponents doesn’t necessarily mean you are a better defender. Sometimes it is wiser to not engage with opponents and keep your defensive line.

However, if we look at the percentage won by each defender we can see who copes better with dangerous situations. In this area, Tomori is the winner with 74.17% with Christensen (72.07%) and Zouma (66.03%) trailing. Tomori’s pace and strength certainly help him on this metric.

Successful Defensive Actions

This measures how proactive a defender is, getting involved with play and making decisions to win the ball or clearing dangerous attacks. Again, it must be emphasised that coming out on top here doesn’t necessarily make you a better player, although it does show you who is more likely to take action on the pitch.

In this area, Tomori is the winner with 9.94 defensive actions per game, with Zouma on 8.58 and Christensen on 7.82. In fact, Rudiger trails the other three for defensive actions, making 7.66 per 90.

Fouls

The metric is an interesting one. There are some instances where making fouls are necessary such as stopping a counter-attack or breaking up play in general, but in most examples, a foul is simply a poor piece of defensive play.

Here we notice a huge difference in averages. Zouma commits 1.07 fouls per 90, while Tomori, at the other end, averages just 0.54. Over the course of a 38 game season that would see Zouma committing around 40 offences to Tomori’s 20. Christensen (0.75) is between the two of them.

Stats don't always tell the truth, mere watching koulibaly is better than all of them.
Christensen has played less games so his numbers will look good.

Forget numbers. Rudiger we’ve known him since last season, he’s not calculative & rushes allot. Far back in preseason we saw how disastrous Zouma & Christensen combo is. We need Atleast a new smart CB to lead the back line.

My lineup for city

Kepa

Azp-CB CB-Alonso

Gilmour/Barkley - Kante - Mount

Willian - Giroud - Pulisic

I don’t care whichever CBs Lamp wants to start, they are all the same.

We can’t create lot of chances with all Kovacic Jorginho Kante in midfield. Though we not mostly disgraced by top teams, but we always lack creativity/forward thinkers.

Only one needed & that’s Kante. Or we have Gilmour - Kante pivot. Gilmour is ready as we saw his performance against pool. Time to change the game dynamics, they wouldn’t see coming.
I predicted the lineup grin

Mahrez, KDB, he didn't even rest Ederson, nor Gundogan, still started Laporte and mendy.

Thought Zinchenko, Sane, Gabriel, Otamendi Foden etc would start instead
