" "Creative" midfielder kind of indicates they are there to create chances.
Mind you, if they create chances and the strikers are rubbish, the chances don't become assists. ""
To be fair, Christian Benteke has missed the most clear cut chances in the Premier League so Zaha has probably created some of them as well.
My overall point is that Zaha has had a very good season so far and to call him inconsistent is a little unfair. England is very unlucky to be without him in the future.
PS! I didnt say Ronaldo and Messi were wingers. I didnt compare them to Coutinho and Zaha. I just said they are considered the best because they score a lot more than they others. If they had the same skills, but scored 5-10 goals per season, they would be nowhere near ballon dor.
