My problem with stats has always been this: The most visible and celebrated stat is goals scored. It's a shame that, by the stats, the credit for scoring a goal goes to the person who just happened to touch the ball last before it entered the goal. While I realize there is an art to finishing and being a goal scorer, we all know that it takes more than one player to score a goal. On the other end of the field, the goalkeeper gets the negative stat for goals against. Again, more than that one player are responsible for giving up each goal.
