The former Liverpool and England player Michael Owen took to twitter on Tuesday to outline that people are getting carried away with assists in the game. Comparing them to goals, former Arsenal and Chelsea midfielder Cesc Fabregas spotted this and made it quite clear where he stands on the matter, see it below;

Agreed but my point is that in general it’s far harder to score goals than assist them yet we are starting to measure them as equal which is bollocks. https://t.co/4SSRQGnY6W

Of course there will be many examples to support both views, Cesc. And no surprise which side of the debate we both sit! We’ve experienced doing both so can make a balanced judgment. And I stick to my view. We’ll be giving a match ball to people who get 3 assists in a game soon😂 https://t.co/FCIC6ShjNz

Would you agree with Michael Owen are people losing the run of themselves when it comes to assisting a goal, surely there’s a serious skill to that too though as well as finishing. Michael Owen and Cesc Fabregas both achieved a lot in the game, so when they talk you certainly listen.
