It's disingenuous

As a run implies unbroken and (broadly) under the same conditions.

Presenting it in the manner you have is to weight a substantial chunk of the responsibility of the run to Farke alone.

That, in my opinion, is nonsense.

Different squad, different opposition, wildly different circumstances and also, weirdly completely ignores a very successful year of results in the middle of the 'run'

Also, so that we're being precise, I never said that your stat was unclear - I said it was a wilful obfuscation. Which it is, and which this response further doubles down on.

Stats shorn of their context can be incredibly misleading. This is an object lesson in that.
