    Does a player get an assist when they win a penalty that results in a goal?

    Don't think so...an assist involves passing the ball. Nicely done by Targett...definitely a penalty, but Targett gave him no chance to avoid it.

    Long deserves an assist to the assist for the pass to Targett, and Targett deserves an assist to the assist for the pass to Mane which led to the free kick which JWP scored from.

    In Fantasy Football you get an assist for winning a penalty (assuming the pen is scored), unless the pen winner was also the pen scorer. But not sure about general real life stats.

    Laces deserves one too then because he pointed out that the pass was on and that Targett had made the run into the box for Long to find him, before the pass was made.

    I'm sure Targett will get the assist. If it bounces off someone's arse into a players path and he scores that counts as an assist. Long's key pass is worthless. Tintin says only assists and goals are end product.

    As for Lallana he would have to take a massive paycut and settle for a bit part. Davis is outperforming by a mile.

    What is your deal with Davis?

    Lallana would be more likely to replaceme for Tadic. They are about the same in my mind. Both very good dribblers and technical players. Tadic is better at creating goals, though still not good enough. Lallana is better at pressing/defense/workrate although that's not that important from the wing.

    hope he gets the assist, took Shaw 2 years for 2 assists, Targett gets 2 in 2 games

    Ian Wright praising JWP and comparing his free kick to those of Beckham. The trouble with James is that everyone knows he can do this, but he has to do it more often. Ronald thinks highly of him for corners, free kicks and as penalty taker, but (like Beckham) he has to become deadly in these areas to ensure more starts for him.

    Only because he was making the same run a lot prior to that point and Berty was ignoring him!

    He chips in with a good through ball now and again. He's generally a solid passer/ball retainer/offense-runner. The free kicks and penalties are just a bonus. I think sometimes they opt to have him play a cross when he might be able to go for a shot. Which is fine, since he can hit those deadly in-swerving balls which lead to goals more often than those ones where 1 out of 10 times you score a beauty but 5 out of 10 you sky it into row z.

    He really needs to work on his defense and tackling. That's his major flaw for me. He's pretty similar to Steven Davis without the tackling. And I will take good tackling over good set piece ability. Especially when we have other guys (including Davis) who-- while not as good as JWP-- are still pretty decent corner takers.

    No one, apart from Bertrand on the right, takes anything like as good an inswinging corner as JWP from the left.He has got a few assists from those, and I will take goals over good tackling. But he does tackle quite well: one that springs to mind is the tackle against Villa in our 6-1 win last season where JWP chased back, tackled and won the ball on the right wing, and sent the ball across for (I think) Mane's second. There have obviously been others since then, but that was particularly memorable.
