It's worth mentioning that from the RWF position, Erik Lamela has more assists than anyone bar Chadli, and whilst some point out his lack of goals being a focus point of discussion, I would suggest that his role is not to score goals primarily, but to assist them, and that is what he is doing.
Also worth noting that the fullbacks are there to provide a foil for the inside fwds to create space for them to run into. Erik Lamela might not be getting the right type of support from his full back to allow him to exploit space. Lamela has the ability to dribble through defences, assuming he has space to exploit.
