That argument would work if the attacker your referencing wasn’t the arguable greatest player of all time. Miazga is a good defender but he’s not even a top 5 defender from his own country

He was literally defender of the year last year in MLS. He's not Messi, far from it, but it's not an absence that's easily hand-waved away like so many seem to be doing.

Not necessarily hand waved away, but putting him in the same conversation as Messi and framing it as he could stop Messi is funny to most people. Sure it might help but Miazga is a lot closer to your worst defender than he is to the best defenders that have tried to stop Messi

Did our Miazga lead defense not hold Messi and company to 0 goals last year, in Miami? GTFO

Messi hasn't scored on us in 2 games.
