Fun fact;

Milner 7 assist last season in PL.

Modric, Nasri and Wilshire 7 assist last season in PL combined between the three of them.

Modric had 3 just like Wilshere. nasri who plays further up than those two had 1 and he's bought for his creativity by City

We're not buying Nasri for that, we have David Silva in the creative role, we want Nasri as the possesion keeping midfielder.

I honestly doubt Mancini would say, "No! Samir! Stop being creative!" ;)

Of course he's be expected to chip in as would every player, but with Aguero, Dzeko, Balotelli, Johnson, Silva and maybe Tevez we have plenty of attacking flair. Nasri could then keep his main focus to keeping posession for us.

he had 1 assist out of 58 chances created - so surely that says he is creating the chances but those he is creating them for aren't taking them?

 

[Andouble]

assists is the most mis-leading statistic in the sport, how often is it the pass leading up to the pass of the goal-scorer that is the one that breaks down the defence? It's why Modric, Nasri etc have a relative small # of assists, if you make a killer pass that someone else just puts a few years onto the foot of the goalscorer, you helped create that. Ex: Aguero's first goal doesn't happen if AJ doesn't threat that pass to Richards for the cross. AJ gets no assist or recognition, but he was a focal point in the movement.

he completed more passes than any other player in the league in the final third and had 1 assist

he completed more passes than any other player in the league in the final third and had 1 assist

that tells me how woeful Arsenal strikers are.

exactly my point - he was creating chances that other players were not taking, ergo not his fault
