Manchester City midfielder Jack Grealish admits he's happy to avoid discussion about his stats.
The 26-year-old has mentioned numerous times this season that he does pay attention to the numbers.
"Obviously as an attacking player, you do want goals and assists. I know for one thing I should definitely have more assists," he told BBC Sport.
"Goals - I think I need to get myself in goal scoring positions a little bit more but I know it's not all about goals and assists. There are big games we've won and I feel like I've contributed."
Asked if it frustrate him when people only pay attention to the number of goals and assists, Grealish continued: "A little bit but I can see why people say it. But it's been so much different.
"I sat down with the manager and the analyst guys from City, they've showed me stats that you want to see as an attacking player that aren't goals and assists - expected assists, passes in the final third, successful passes in the final third and stuff like this, where I've been quite successful in.
"I just need a few to fall my way and then they'll come."
