I wouldn't trust any stat sheet not containing those particular numbers.Yeah, but where are the stats for corners hitting the first man, winning towering headers and ending careers with crunching tackles?

can't say i have seen anyone ever say he isn't a great chance creator.
Mesut Ozil would no doubt be second for each of those categories and that itself highlights quite well that you can't just base things on some cherry picked stats.
Sense at last, i despair about our supporters who question just how good this guy is.
He's been running the show in all our good games against City in recent years, he was bloody good at Juventus away, was fantastic in both games vs Real Madrid. I could go on all day. He's a fantastic player, and like every player, he has the occasional off game.
Where was Messi at Liverpool? He ran the show one week earlier.
I for one am not questioning his ability, my concern is that it seems he does not want to be here right now
Which is what he is in the team to do and according to the numbers he is the best at it.
If that was all.he was there to do there wouldn't be an issue
Really????
? What are you questioning?
Why SOME fans are saying what he DOES do for us is not enough.
He’s underperformed this season against his ability, comparing him to other PL players is irrelevant as he’s far more talented, imo.
Blimey, don't want much do you! Why does he need to be outstanding at everything?Yeah, but where are the stats for corners hitting the first man, winning towering headers and ending careers with crunching tackles?

Because for some people what he offers outside of creativity is not enough
I feel sorry for them if they can not appreciate a top player doing what he is best at. But Stop! Hammer time.
This is what saddens me most. Echoes of how GHoddle was grotesquely underappreciated by England. Rolls Royce in midfield but deemed useless by philistines who moaned he did not chase back enough or maim opponents in the tackle.I feel sorry for them if they can not appreciate a top player doing what he is best at. But Stop! Hammer time.
Well I can only think of Sissoko off the top of my head.Blimey, don't want much do you! Why does he need to be outstanding at everything?
How many players can you name that not only tick every box but also excel at them?
