It's hard to argue with those stats but you know my view on using assists as being
a defining statistic about a players performance.
Pirlo, on the other hand, was so gifted that he brought about the workrate of everyone else around him.
A bit like one of those squash players who exert the minimum of energy, while their less gifted opponents skirt about red faced, on the cusp of a minor coronary.
I do, I do. That was indeed the word.. :mentalblock:
It's literally what he's for though
Not the greatest metric of a centre back or full back, or even a striker, but Assists, Key Passes, Chances Created, these are his job
That said, i do think he can do a lot better. Possibly with a stronger midfield behind him
im sure hes sucked on a few low hanging plums imo
