Speaking of @ bolded, he made the top 10 for 10 straight years 2010 -2020. CR7 didn't.

Well, that’s a feather in his cap.

But what type of feather is it?

There are some achievements that can never be called a fluke no matter how you'd want to argue it sha.

Winning a league.
Going undefeated an entire season.
Scoring over 100 goals or points a season
Conceding less than 10 goals an entire season.
scoring 91 goals in a year.

The level of consistency you need week-in-week-out an entire year to do this is very high. It is stupid to just chalk it off as a fluke because the achievement can not be replicated.

The award is Highest Goal Scorer in a calendar year not 61 goals and above scorer

The fact that Messi won this award 5/6 times shows that your post is nothing but Mkpurummiri induced.

timay1:


it was definitely a fluke year. But his fans will not admit to it.
Because if it wasn't, he should have at least hit 80 goals in an additional one or two seasons but my guy couldn't even enter 61

It's synonymous to the last season Hazard had at Chelsea when he had a lot of goals and assists.

Hazard don't usually produce good stats as a foward and has never had that kind of stat at any stage of his career before. So that was a one off

Bros, calm down. There are some outstanding things one will do in a lifetime that it'll be hard for that same person to replicate again. That doesn't mean it's a fluke, rather it just meant the bar was toooo high. And yes, that 91 goal was too high for even peak messi to replicate nor even near it. Even the great Gerd Muller, I doubt he scored close to 80 goals again after his record breaking 87goals. It's like saying Messi dribbling those 7 players and keeper then scoring when he was 19yrs was a fluke goal because he didn't repeat it again in his lifetime.

It's funny how you now set the benchmark messi couldn't reach at 61, just because you knew messi scored up to 60goals. If messi had scored up to 63 goals, the new benchmark will be 64

Does anybody agree with this?? Current premier league best 11? Henderson over kante and jorginho? Laporte over VVD? Funny how none of the top 4 teams have a performing striker.

Kante for Henderson, Jota for Emmanuel Dennis.

100% facts!!!

what are you talking about
You think it's easy to score 91 goals

Is that what you understood from my post?

Rudiger over Laporte and Mount over Mane for me. I might be bias but James has better stats than Arnold this season.

So if it wasn't luck how come Messi couldn't even reach 61 talkless of 70 ever again?

Skimpledawg:
Person score your ewure normal 60 goals come still add icing ontop with extra 31 goals...

Extra 31 goals.

e say na fluke.

Compliments of the fluke season

And did he replicate it ever again? Answer on a a postcard if shame won't catch you

Shukusheka:

Same here, Rudiger for Laporte.

We just have to find a way to include 3 fullbacks, James, Cancelo and TAA.

Again, that an achievement cannot be replicated does not mean it was luck. Did Nigeria win Atlanta 96 by luck? Or is Chelsea's 86 home unbeaten record luck? Did George Weah win Balon D'or by luck?

You didn't answer the question. Did Messi reach 65goals again talkless of even 70goals or 80? . What does that tell you?

Expert17:


Don't waste your time

If we truly dip it, this argument about Messi not replicating the 91 goal a year record is very stupid

If we are to go by that, all Guinness Book of World records are flukes because these records are yet to be matched.

Trevor012:

You didn't answer the question. Did Messi reach 65goals again talkless of even 70goals or 80? Scoring 91goals in a single year and scoring 60goals plus in 4 consecutive year which is harder? Winning one champions and winning 4 consecutively which is harder? Answer on a postcard.

Bros read this your post again, gently this time around....how does it sound to you?






Yeah, exactly.

Kimbeast:
Am I the only one more impressed with Ronaldo having 60goals plus in 4 consecutive years than Messi single 91 goal year?

Somebody said he found Ronaldo consistency of scoring 60goals in 4 consecutive years more impressive than Messi 91goal single year and Messi fans are crying nonstop. What an insecure fan base. Please bring tissue

Premier league clubs have voted for EPL to continue in the face of the recent upsurge in covid-19 cases..... las las Na now we go know how get better academy players pass, no be by pointing out to former academy players that later became stars. Now Na ur academy players u go line -up like Everton did a week ago if covid-19 too worry for ur side and U no wan drop point .

World cup is by the corner, suspending the league won't be sensible. Make all the clubs use their academies to fill quota.

elrony:

They won't suspend shit, once you have 13 outfield players (10 starting and 3 subs) and a goalkeeper available; then you are good to go.

We go know academy wey useless now.

Check Cr7 appearance in those 4 years compare to Messi’s.

I don't know why you are saying replicate like anybody said he should score 91goals again. That's the problem with Messi fans. Every post they see not licking their god ass is seen as an attack. No one is saying scoring 91 goals is easy or downplaying it. The point is that Messi level is 60 to 50goal mark yearly. The 91goal is just an exception not the norm.

Shukusheka:
Messi even got 29 assist the same year he scored 91 goals. He had more assists than Iniesta and Xavi combined. He wasn't just a tap-in merchant, he was creating and scoring at the same time. It was crazy.

Cr7 fan only depend on goals when comparing him to standard(messi), how about other aspect of the game.
