What a weird thing to care about in this day and age though.
Humbly disagree. Not taking anything away from those players either.

This so much. Especially Keane & Zouma. His free kicks for shooting are not great but his free kicks when he puts them in the box always look dangerous but no one gets on the end. He should be in double figures for assists.

every single team in the league will have a list similar to this..
it doesn't mean anything.
The same arguments were had when we had Cahill and a portion of the supporters wanted someone with more technical ability to help the team play better overall and so that we wouldn't be so limited in how we are able to play the game.
Just like with Cahill, playing him means the team has to be set up to get the best out of him and some supporters question whether we could play better without having to build the team around one player who gets about 10 goals a season and doesn't contribute much else.
Just because he scores goals doesn't mean that the team would not be better off with a different type of player who can offer better quality on the ball.
When he doesn't score he usually plays crap and is completely Ineffective.
3 assists for a #10 at this stage is shocking. It's supposed to be a creative position and before anyone bangs on about Created Chances stats there's no way I'm having them. They must be counting very generously.

You mean the day and age in which we need to sell players to buy a new one???
As in what's happening now?
Isn't our net spend in the neighborhood of of £190 million over the last five seasons?
Or are we still trying to sell the myth that we are a sell to by club?
But you can't say 'Gylfi doesn't have enough assists' as a stick to beat him with when from that list the evidence is there he should have at least 10.
I'm not disputing he can do more in the all-round game, but he does create chances. He can't put them away for other people.

Does every single player?
No player scores every single checks they get.
*Chance obviously, no idea why it had to change that.
Obviously.
But you can't tell me that you wouldn't expect the players in the six chances I listed above (which would have Gylfi on 9 assists) wouldn't have been expected to score.
Three of them were all one v ones, or in Bernard's case two open goals.
The Richarlison one, probably I'm been harsh. He fell over as he was about to get his shot off. But it was one of the best passes any of our players have played all season. Took five defenders - including the best CB in der werld lad - out of the game.
I didn't include the Walcott ones v Chelsea and Liverpool in that top list because they were difficult, but still presentable, opportunities.
Barkley had some of the best chances created stats in the entire league when he was here, even when he had Lukaku up front.
It was the same story - only a fraction of them were converted. It's a useless stat as a "chance" is ill-defined.
The only stat that matters is goals scored, the stat he leads the whole team in.
