All too often it's just a bullshit stat.
Just look at Fellaini's for Pogba's shit effort. All he could do was square a pass, there was nothing else on and he gets one.

Agreed.
A typical Sigurdsson set piece assist usually takes about 1000X the skill of a simple one like that, wouldn't you agree? |  |

Set piece's that properly meet their target yes. His two for Olsson 100%.
The rest are not worth even mentioning. | |

I'm pretty sure Llorente would disagree with that. |  | | |

They all are.
We get it he wants us to sell gylfi and I think I understand his reasons though I don't necessarily agree.
Please can the mods put up a sticky called "reasons why we should sell gylfi" and merge anything that is basically on that subject however it is phrased. | | | |

Yet the example he used was the antithesis of a classic Sigurdsson assist, which usually comes from a pinpoint set piece delivery.
Although it obviously wasn't his intent, he's proving that a Sigurdsson assist deserves more credit than the "typical" one. | |

Infact ,all stats mislead
All thst matters is goals and points | |

All goals need some sort of assist whether good bad or indifferent. Even a goalkeeper if it's pinged straight to the goal scorer.  | | | |

Is a dummy completely bamboozling a defence an assist? | | | |

Depends what the definition of an assist is,if it's a single ball which directly leads to a goal, or a ball which is given to a player,who then dribbles past 2 or 3 players and scores.Dunno,Im sure someone will be along to give the correct definition.
I could Google it but I can't be arsed at this time of night  | | | |

Back on track.
I agree assists in football are in many ways a bullsh!t American bit of cr@p based on their statistical mad games.
Whilst FIFA had talked about it before they started keeping assist records from the 1994 World Cup - coincidence or what - presumably to try and help sell the game in the USA.
A killer pass or a hopeful boot up the pitch can both be assists. The key for using these stats is to be able to differentiate between the two. | | | |

Not sure how to explain it more clearly than I already have, but your example - Fellaini to Pogba - doesn't sound at all like any Sigurdsson assist I remember.
But you may be correct that those simple kinds of assists get too much credit. Perhaps there should be a separate category for "incidental assists" like that one, so they don't diminish the truly skillful ones like Siggy's. But then that probably starts to become too subjective. | |

Does not matter really.
Same as a goal, a deflection could come off your arse, or you could beat half a dozen players and hit a thunderbolt from 30 yards. Still the record book shows the same thing. |  |

LOL tracking assists in football in order to appeal to Americans - yeah that really was THE watershed moment over here for this sport.  | |

I like the Res, he makes some great points footballing wise, but i find it hilarious that after everything that has gone on here in the past, you now seem to be clinging on to him as your bestest friend ever! What a weak individual you are! |  |

What I am worried about is the amount of goals we scored from dead ball situations last season.
In some games it looked as if we were playing for the free kicks/corners. | | | |
