what have Cisse and Ba got to do with this? Do they play for the highest goalscoring team in the world last season where it is easier to score goals and easy enough for you or me to get 5 assists easily?
It's not just about one game or one season. He's been a provider for RM at a time there was no ronaldo, benzema, and Özil around. He also does so for Sabella's Arg as and when needed, which is still a work in progress. Anybody who watched him consistently can recognize his shift outside goal-scoring. But his teams rather exploit his predatory skills, and superlative movement upfront (also y they create more chances with him than without him) than involve him more in the build-up. Its not because he can't, its because there isn't a need to. Although he's been more in the mix for the Albiceleste recently. He does deliver when he's asked to.
You were suggesting he's "shit" outside finishing which is clearly not the case. And that video was just a sample. He put messi on with a through ball, but he also won the ball in MF. He works hard for his teams, assists in ball recovery, links-up, creates space, and has an eye for a pass. You don't 've 50+ assists in your career at his age if your playmaking is "shit". I'm sure if that was one of NU strikers, you'd be praising them to high heavens, just like you've a tendency to do with most NU players.
