any examples biggish of what you're talking about? I find stats have a place.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Just watch how sky sports news use stats every day to support their features on players, its a joke
----------------------------------------------------------------------
ah tbh i dont really watch it.
I did see once they were using FM stats though"he has 19 aggression"
----------------------------------------------------------------------
exhibit 1
----------------------------------------------------------------------

No sorry i'm not having that...& you didn't see this, & certainly not recently - you've just plagiarised it today

I did say this was probably a tongue in cheek throw away line...(as i'm sure it was)

So you'll forgive me if I'm not of a mind to believe that the biggest and best broadcaster of premium football in this country is taken to using joke stats to make serious points about the quality of players

so i'm happy to default if you can show me some good examples though...

Sky Sports tends to be obsessed with goals and assists as stats when I watch their programmes. Which certainly does not tell you the whole story of a forwards usefulness - key passes, succesful take one, fouls received and crossing accuracy are much more important for a winger than assists for example.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
are they more important than goals...?

Crossing accuracy would almost by definition lead to an assist i'd think

I'd hope anyway... if I was a winger

Not even close if you take into account our strikers of recent times.

RTM is questioning me making a point...

An assist can be anything. It can be a worse cross or the pass to Eden Hazard before he goes on a seventy yard in and scores.

To me, key passed tells you a lot more about a players creativity
----------------------------------------------------------------------
won't disagree with that...but my point stands

My point was that we haven't had any wingers that can make an accurate cross in ages

They have their moments like any other culture. Korean Cinema does lean heavily on drama and milking emotion a bit much. Overly dramatic full orchestrated music to create tear jerker situations without shame.

Also have a tendency top be overly long and difficult to follow upon first watch.

Tai Guk Gi or The Wailing as examples

Even still, in the moments when it's laid up perfectly our strikers are hardly in the box let alone getting on the end of a cross or even putting it away when they get a head on it.
