Did not age well....
Why's that? I still see someone who, quite often, misses the better choice. He has skill to burn and plenty of pace, so he can often appear to be doing lots more than he is. It's not uncommon for the average football fan to massively overrated this type of player. They tend to be the same ones jumping about like clapping seals when their team wins a corner.

He's 45th in the League's xA/90 chart, behind attacking heavyweights such as Marc Cucurella and Diogo Dalot.

He's got all the talent to be regularly at the top of that list, but he'll need the right manager and will need to listen to him. I think he's working with a talented manger now, so there's no reason for him not to.

xA/90 is as much about the players you're creating for. We haven't had a good available striker all season so his expected assists should be low.

It's really not, that's the whole point of the X part.

And we're massively outperforming both out xG and our xA. In any other team in any other circumstances he'd have fewer assists.
