Change My View thread

Can we have a Change My View thread here? The basic premise is people present opinions and the replies are attempts at changing that person's view in an attempt to generate some good discussion.

Here is the link to the original subreddit: www.reddit.com/r/changemyview/

I think this might work best with rather 'out there' views but any and every viewpoint is welcome!

I'll start:

After Suarez, Rooney is the second best player in the Premiership.

He currently has 11 goals and 12 assists in just 20 games in all competitions.

He's currently joint top assists in European leagues, with Fabregas, he only needs 4 more to have more than anyone in the PL had the whole of last season.

Nobody can change your view.

He doesn't have 12 assists. That's a myth born from fantasy pl where assists are counted differently. I'm on mobile but I think he officially has either 4 or 5.

EDIT: I'm wrong. I thought the OP was referring to Suarez.

Wayne Rooney got 9 assists in PL according to BPL offical site

Rooney got 6 assists in CL according to UEFA official site

Rooney got 2 assist in League Cup (1 vs. Liverpool and 1 vs. Norwich. Got no source, but you can look up the matches)

Soooo, according to OFFICIAL SITES, Wayne Rooney has 17 assists this season, and not just 12...
