It's the vision he provides though. He'll attempt passes that may well take a defence out of the game, which is what happened with that cut back last night.

I'm not one to crow about assists because as you say a lot still depends on the player scoring. Might be an easy pass but a difficult finish, hard pass and an easy finish etc.

The chances created stat is why I think Ozil is key, not the assists alone.
