Assists aren't a great indicator of influence on matches, chances created are far better.
I just don't understand the fascination with stats. People disagreed with me earlier, but Bale was way more of an influence on games than Eriksen as was Modric regarless of chances created and assist stats, i could see their influence by watching the games, i can safely say Eriksen won't ever be as good as either of them that's not based on stats that's based on most peoples opinions if you asked them to rate the 3 players in order. We haven't regressed since losing them, we have only pushed on.
Have we won things with Eriksen in this team? No and who's to say as a team we wouldn't be better without him and bringing someone else in? Who knows, recent history seems to say we do just fine when losing quality players.
Obviously, i'd prefer him to stay and hope he would find more consistency. I don't enjoy losing quality players, but if he goes it's really not as bad as people are making out. Poch is the most important part of our team by far.
