It is also funny the stuff you don't recall but like the last two years you only choose certain things to suit your argument. It would probably be best if you didn't quote such stats then if you don't know how they measure them. In terms of ability he does nothing out of the ordinary that makes you go wow this boy really has something here. He wont score a goal like Sane at Liverpool or have raw natural ability that puts him above the rest and that is my point. His goal against Southampton was fantastic but that sort of class, composure and skill is rarely seen. What we do see is his fantastic positioning sense that puts him in the right place at the right time to finish a move off. That isn't a bad thing and people will overlook that praise I am giving him. It has contributed massively to our fantastic season.
If he did have the natural ability you argue then he would still stand out for England, he doesn't because he doesn't often get that service that sees him finish something off (open net on Monday aside) So it would appear he is largely average for England because his other attributes (ability) aren't up to scratch and the team doesn't benefit his great movement. I get ridiculed but there is no evidence to suggest anything else for England.
