The thing with Pienaar as a player, his "stats" weren't great. 20 goals and 32 assists in 214 games or something.

But you watch him play, him and Baines down that left were for years our main attacking threat. He'd link play, keep the ball, win fouls, drive attacks. He had a superb football intellect, a great example of a "clever" player.

Pulls the pants down to all the Opta-bells that bang on about "goals" and "assists" when genuine influence on a field for a player in his position can mean more for a team.
