He has not been better than Brown "by a distance". |

He's behind Scott Brown in that respect - and by a big distance. |

Have we quantum leaped back to 2015?? He’s been second only to Brown as our best performer this season. |

His "Morelos will go for £25m" post is a cracker. Edit: Didn't realise that was the post you were referring to. Absolute classic. Mods!!!

Morelos will go for £25m I thought that was sarcasm...are we sure it was genuine? Surely not

James is having a great season - the only hurdle he has to get over is games against der hun. 0 goals 0 assists as far as I am aware - he has the same record for Scotland ( not so concerned by that of course ) That is not to say he plays poorly he is just not as effective as he is against any other opposition. Recent top of the table games , big european games , Hampden finals - no problem -goals , assists , Man of the Match awards but not at his best in this fixture. Don't know why that would be - not ability , can't imagine its nerves or even the nature of these games as other wide men have had field days against them. Of course if the opposition in this game weren't allowed to just bring him down anytime he gets past them without punishment he might have the chance to get into his stride. |

Assists are one of the most pish stats invented. However, an assist is usually the last pass to the goal scorer. On that basis Forrest had an assist on Sunday and also had one on Armstrong’s goal in the 1-1 defeat at Celtic Park. |

Slightly contradictory post I'd say, Brown and Dembele crafted those other goals beautifully and deserve recognition statistically, it's not a pish stat whatsoever, except maybe on here when it suits. |

It is a pish stat precisely because the assist count includes 2 yard passes alongside defence splitting ones. |

Favourite one was Messi taking the ball of Busquets in the centre circle before running through about 5 defenders and scoring. Busquets assist

There are many stats that tell us absolutely nothing while being interesting such as percentage, and few that tell us something has actually happened. You need to be in place to make those easy passes and I don't see why that endeavour shouldn't be recognised. If you look at the all time assists in the EPL its most creative players all feature at the top, I'd say that gives us a decent barometer of how things went for a footballer in his career and can be matched with club successes historically fairly easily, making it fairly useful when analysing a player, his team and that era. |

Going back a while there for that one. Assists show us something tangible, if we are looking to dismiss the current overuse of statistics it's hardly the place to start. |

Well, a tap in goal gets equal recognition statistically as a screamer last I looked. |
