Pack it in Norg - 1 and 3 and apparently that is a half a years work - no problems mon.

 

Why are people giving Sterling imaginary assists?

[zigackly]

If anyone can't see that Sterling is an ace little player with bags of potential, I would say it devalues any opinion they have ever had on football.

Because they know it will keep you up all night sweating about it ?

[TheHowieLama]

Sterling is an ace little player

 

Why he gotta be little?

[zigackly]

Why he gotta be little?

 

Not enough breast milk?

[TheHowieLama]

Not enough breast milk?

 

Hasn't he been around newborns for damn near half his life?

[zigackly]

Maybe having all them kids has sapped his growth then. They have to count as assists, come to think of it.

I doubt anyone is doubting his potential Zig, but that does not mean we should not be able toi discuss his current contributions without having to make things up to make him look better than he actually is.

 

He is a kid, I dont expect him to do much and every goal he scores or set up is a bonus for me, I think we should ease him in a bit more though as it is right now I think it could be useful for him to not play the full 90 minutes every game.

 

And to be totally honest, what has actually impressed me most with Sterling is how hard he works and that he's not afraid to tackle.

A great point, his work rate off the ball, especially when he loses it is exemplary and his defensive cover is way better than many who have been praised for it - in fact chosen for it- in the recent past. In addition, he has made very good decisions in possession, has an outstanding first touch and close control in traffic and has displayed more talent from the standstill on the ball and running at men than almost anyone we have had in the last decade. And he's 17, and played his way into the 11 and the senior setup.

Totally agrëe, having genuine pace is obviously an asset both when attacking and defending so its great to see him use it.

 

I love Sterling, but I understand a lot of people think I have a problem with him because I have tried to be objective when describing his contributions so far and not gone totally overboard like a few others.

[Megadrive Man]

Oh dear, he has 1 goal and 1 assist.

It's not the end though is it really?

 

Different sources define assists differently, some say the last direct uninterrupted pass, some say the last player to touch the ball on your team.

 

You're right by your measure and he's right by his.

 

End of the day it's a bit boring and doesn't matter

[Megadrive Man]

Sterling set up all 4 goals.

Correct.

 

He's a 17 year old lad, he played a huge part in all 4 goals, even if you don't class them as assists, you should appreciate the contribution to each goal that he made.

Irt really, really is.

 

So Sterling is getting assists both for getting the second last touch and the third last touch, interesting.

 

Does this count for other players as well?

 

Maybe we should start to credit the goals to the player with the second last touch then if the one with the third last touch gets the assists, the problem is what we shall credit the actual goalscorer with.

Fantasy being the key word.

[Megadrive Man]

A definition of an assist;

 

In association football, an assist is a contribution by a player which helps to score a goal. Statistics for assists made by players may be kept officially by the organisers of a competition, or unofficially by, for example, journalists or organisers of fantasy football competitions. Recording assists is not part of the official Laws of the Game and the criteria for an assist to be awarded may vary.

Most commonly, an assist is credited to a player for passing or crossing the ball to the scorer. It may also be awarded to a player whose shot rebounds (off a defender, goalkeeper or goalpost) to a teammate who scores; or to a player who wins a penalty kick for another player to convert. An attacking player may be awarded an assist for contributing to an own goal. Players cannot be awarded an assist for a goal they themselves score. Usually one but a maximum of two players can be awarded assists per goal.

[Code]

From the fantasy league?

[Megadrive Man]

No, That was a general definition.

 

So If you only class the last player to make a direct pass to the goalscorer, that means if Brad Jones or Pepe Reina throws the ball to Suarez in his own half, he then runs down the other end of the field goes past midfielders and defenders, then scores, you would class that as more of an assist?

[Code]

Take a look at some real sites mate and accept you are wrong and what you are vouching for is stupid.

The only place with any credentials Sterling has got more than one assist is on Official Site of the Premier League | premierleague.com but they have not changed the Gerrard own goal yet end because of that sterling is credited with another assist.
