yeah, it's just one of those stats that mean little...
such as LFC averaged 5th position over the span of St Steven's career
Well, having just checked it, Gerrard got 9 assists in the season he score 16 goals, from 31 games. He got 13 in the season he scored 13 too, from 34 games. Pogba has 11 goals and 9 assists from 28. So 25 & 26 vs 20, so, like I said, it's a bullshit stat really.
It has been a productive season for Pogba, no doubt there, and, to be fair to him, his assists ratio, after just 80-odd games is better than Gerrard's over his 504 games. Statistically it's certainly a better season than I'd have said for Pogba.
Regardless, it doesn't paint the full picture and Gerrard was certainly never the disruptive influence that Pogba is, on or off the pitch.
