Because when Messias gets into the final third, he doesn't shank his pass to the corner flag? He crosses often, which might explain his passing percentage, but again, I think he's there to dribble, to draw attention away from the center and left, or to at least just create spacing for the team to operate.
Semi speculation. It's not like he's the only guy who crosses in the team. I'm actually not saying he's a horrible passer, in fact I was saying that stats are limited (because passes are different in different areas of the field), I'm just saying that highlighting his passing skills isn't the thing you should do when he has the worst pass success rate and isn't exactly known for having homing crosses.
No one is saying "we must keep Messias and Alexis at all costs!" We have 9 games left (maybe 10) of the season, and while delivery jokes are... great, I'm not sure arguing for Alexis over Messias is exactly a slam dunk.
I'm not arguing with anyone even though some posters just said they want to redeem Messias. The only reason I'm discussing Messias atm is because of your replies. No need to resolve to your recurring snarky tone, I was just trying to lighten it up.
you'll see Messias' winning a header to create the chaos for that shank. You can contribute to a goal without the direct assist.
I agree. Pretty sure that would also statistically count as being involved in an attacking sequence
Do you want to start Alexis over Messias? Okay. Cool. He still has problems to his game. We need a RW and we can't get a new one until the summer.
It should be possible to highlight some bad stats and have a discussion without being dismissed and portrayed as someone who's all doom and gloom.
