He's created more chances than anyone this season but De Bruyne

So one could argue that the lack of assists is more our strikers' incompetence than his.
I remember that Southampton game last season when he created about 8 good chances and it finished 0-0.
I like a good stat, me, but assists aren't the only relevant metric. If he's putting them on a plate and they're not being finished then that's not his fault.
