Are you actually curious? Or are you going to do a "football isn't a spreadsheet" if I go into it?

Shouldn't you be on your 15th "this isn't football" post by now?
Can't be arsed tbh

Fair enough
If you start pulling out x-GA and stats about "take-on attempts" then yes, I'm going to rip you.

Right so you're basically in the "I saw it with my eyes" group and even that group confuses me because I just don't see how you can watch Lookman and take your pick of any other wide player we've played and not see the clear talent gap there was. But to each their own because this group doesn't accept evidence as meaningful so their opinion won't move.
It's very simple, with my own eyes I saw Lookman not offering much more than Bolasie and Walcott. His goal and assist stats will show that as well.
What exactly did he give us?
A goal against City at the death of the match and a brace against Limassol.
I don't know how you can believe he's amazing based off of that.
A few nice touches and a bit of skill was all he had shown us.
No real end product or desire to be a part of the team unless it was on his own terms. Now he's getting bombed out of RB for the same reason.

Again mate I see more than goals and assists. There aren't a ton of goals in football so going just off of them will cause you to miss things. That means getting into positions to score is very important as only constantly getting to those spots, and getting the ball there, will create goals. When you are playing as sporadically as he is the end product will sometimes not come, but he is still doing the other part of it, and he did it here, to suggest if he actually did play a lot it would come around.
None of our other players do those things at a high level.
Also in his whole career he has played like 1800 top flight minutes between here and Germany and has 6 goals and 5 assists, which isn't bad.
For comparison Bernard has 4 and 5 in 3000 minutes, Walcott has 9 and 7 with us in 4200 minutes and Bolasie had 2 and 4 in 1800 minutes. That's all in the league btw. Cup and Europe gets weird with quality of opponent considerations.

I do mate. But I'm not allowed to talk about it with out 7 people telling me football isn't played on spreadsheets.
You are the biggest goals/assist stats junkie I've ever come across online and I love stats.

I seriously am not, but I have no choice on here because any mention of something such as key passes is met with derision. Much less pulling out anything more nuanced than that.
