i've literally used an Opta query tool to get his stats up which disprove this nonsense that he doesn't create.
By the very metric that teams use to measure whether players create chances, Zaha creates chances.
Wasn't talkin about you sir

So he creates the same amount as a full-back then. Cracking.He's scored five, assisted two and created 13 'big chances' in eight league games.
James has created 17 chances for us. Digne is our next highest with 11.
Last year he created 36 chances.
Season before 54.
Season before that, 53.
Those are objectively good numbers which disprove your point that he doesn't create.
I've edited that post to include more stats that back up my point and disprove the 'he doesn't create' shout.
He does create. He is a massive threat to teams. We've got Iwobi running about like a headless chicken and Gylfi doing nothing.
Chubby.
Pickford, Walcott, Sigurdsson, Keane, Iwobi, Martina, Williams, Bolasie, Lookman, Schneiderlin, Cleverley, Alcaraz, Kone, Delph, Lossl and Doucoure because he’s so far out of his depth it’s scary
yeah, boss lad
Keane's become good for us
Lookman wasn't given much of a chance
Schneiderlin ability wise is good he just was a coward who in his own words downed tools once Koeman was sacked
Pickford - ability is there but he's now shot to pieces
The rest all crap - however again Digne aside who have we signed from abroad over the years who have been a success?
Tosun
Gomes
Kean
Sandro
Mina
Sidibe
Bilyetdinov
Klaassan
Koldrup
Heitinga
Ferrari
Mirallas
Onyekuru
Vlasic
Absolute waste of money.
Positives from this island:
Lukaku
Richarlison
Gana
Arteta
Cahill
Jagielka
Baines
Lescott
Yakubu
DCL
Keane
Stones
Holgate
Worst thing we did was bring in a fella as DOF who doesnt know the UK Market as our best business has always been done here.
Oh my god you can’t even see the irony of your post there, good lord
Are you utterly mental, Fellaini was brilliant for us. Absolutely brilliant.But again stop skirting around the argument - what top business have we done abroad?
Ive named you all the domestic successes but you cant name me anyone but James or Digne.
Even Fellaini for his positives was massively limited if you didnt play to his strength.
There is no way on God's green earth that any of our fans should have been turning their noses up at Zaha.
He was waiting for a call that never came.
Not saying we'll go get him now, I don't think we will, but he was the move in the summer. He would have added so much to our side.
Please list me all the world class CL players that are chomping at the bit to sign for midtable Everton?
I would rather Zaha than waste another £200 million on duds like Gomes, Tosun, Bernard, Sandro, Kean hoping we strike lucky on some unearthed Suarez
Are you utterly mental, Fellaini was brilliant for us. Absolutely brilliant.
And Pienaar and Arteta are the 2 of the best players we had at the club since the 80’s
you’ve lost the argument pal. Time for bed
Tired of waiting for every window for things to change
Fellaini was a defensive midfielder who only was good playing as an unorthodox no10 flicking balls into the striker - good player but not great for us imo.
Pienaar was good for us but only because of the Baines partnership imo - take the Baines chemistry away and he was what you saw at Spurs.
Arteta was top drawer no doubt.
Still the bulk of our success has been signing players in the domestic leagues.
Problem with a section of our fans is that they are only happy signing players from abroad with sexy foreign names - dont sign Danny Ings he's crap but look that Tosun fella who's scored the same amount of goals as Arouna Kone in the Turkish Plumber League has an ace name lets get him in quick!
Not saying we should never do business abroad but for me the best business overseas is proven CL players who wouldn't entertain us without European football.
Players like Zaha, Ings, Ward Prowse, James Maddison, Eze, Wan Bissaka, Grealish, Adama Traore have all been solid players in the league but we have turned our noses up over the years and instead chased duds.
So he creates the same amount as a full-back then. Cracking.
