I never doubted he has an amazing propensity for scoring. I am also not saying his all-round game was hopeless (it's miles better than Haaland's or Rashford's ever was).
What I claim is that his all-round game is not the level needed of a player considered one of the best strikers of all time. The same way Cristiano Ronaldo is rated mostly for his goals, so is Lewy. These guys are miles off the true geniuses in all-round game, and need their stats to compete. Whereas Messi and Diego don't need to score loads of goals to be amongst the best players ever - the fact Messi does just makes him an even more amazing player.
That is all I am saying. That peak Lewy had a good all-round game but by far his strength was scoring, and he didn't playmake as much as his team-mates. He brought others into play well but what makes him 'one of the greatest strikers ever' is the goal stats and achievements you refer to, and not his overall football quality outside the box.
Thank you.
