After 16 PL rounds last season, he had scored 10 13 goals. Feels familiar somehow.
Edit: Sorry, can't read a bloody table. I resign.
Yep, but hadn't played quite as much football:
Last year, he had played 1193 mins and got 13 goals and 4 assists, for a goal/assist every 70.2 mins (but then went on a 6 match spree of just 5 goals - this is where this season he could catch back up)
This year he has played 1309 mins and got 10 goals and 5 assists, for a goal/assist every 87.3 mins (still bloody good, but not quite as good as last year).
It's in the Champs League where his stats appear worse, largely as we have had to play much, much harder teams (last year in the 2 matches vs Maribor, 2 vs Sevilla and 1 vs Spartak in Moscow, he'd scored 4 and assisted 1, whereas this year it's just 2 and 0).
Still, started slowly this season after injuries, it was understandable he'd get better as the season progressed, and he is at that point where he could spring forward in the goal scoring.
