Cole and Lamine, both are huge ballers. It's hard to compare them because both extend levels of their excellence with each game. What you thought one can't do, he'll do the other game.
But the truth is - Lamine is a very special talent. It does not matter if you play with Jackson or Lewandowski, Raphinha or Madueke... Lamine's assists are a dream for every forward. Each game he hands a few clear chances to Rapha or Lewa, and they miss some of them. I said already, most people overlook this simply because Lamine is already an unbelievable player. Last game against Red Star he made I think 3 big opportunities with his killer passes and there were people even on this forum to label it as a poor game, I don't even want to imagine what people on other forums said about it. Same against Madrid, he created a ton of chances.
I don't know who is better right now. It doesn't even matter because Lamine will eventually surpass Palmer by a very wide margin, I think we all know that.
