I wonder why his assists "disappeared" this season. He is yet to make the first assist in 2021/22.
It's kinda strange since in his previous 6 seasons with us, he had more assists than goals in each of those seasons. Last season he had his peak with 17 assists (and only 2 goals). But this season he's not making any assists, and he already scored 3 goals.
Now, the obvious answer would be: Ronaldo's not here anymore. But in the three seasons when Ronaldo was here, Cuadrado made 26 assists and only 6 of those were for Ronaldo. Usually Dybala, Higuain and Mandzukic were Cuadrado's main target, and last year it was Morata. Dybala and Morata are still here, but Cuadrado isn't making any assists. It's a little strange to see Bernardeschi with 4, or Bentancur with 3 assists, and Cuadrado with zero.
Is Allegri using him differently than Pirlo, Sarri, or Allegri himself from 2015-19? Are our strikers missing the chances created for them by Cuadrado? (I don't remember m(any) missed chances this year created by Cuads). Maybe just a coincidence?
