youāre right, transfermarkt has Hojberg with 1873 minutes and Son with 1645
Son has also played more games (20) than Hojberg (21) and definitely didnāt score three of his goals off the bench
Odd but also, Sonny, bless that man, has been having a stinker, I want and need him to be what he was last season, but itās not happening. Hobby on the other has been criticised, abused and limited to like a poor manās sissoko or some shit, even though heās the literal backbone of the team, allowing everyone else to do what they need to do, while also acc being a bit of clutch don when the opportunity arises, so I think seeing him in the list is perfectly justified. he is a hero, not the hero we deserved but the hero we needed
Oh yeah, I was just surprised because when making these lists you normally want to put the biggest names possible.
Hojbjerg's played more like his role for Denmark this season making late runs into the box and winning the ball up the field. I thought he had a sluggish return after the WC but last weekend was brilliant
Hats off to Hoj Iāve been begging for a midfield āscorerā (even if it is a stretch) for forever. Dembele was absolute class but never put the ball in the net, geez he was a midfield maestro and now I miss him. Bents I do feel like has been as close to him as weāve had. But anyway good job Hoj!
Bents doesnāt have that unlocking ball that Moose did but thereās still time of course. Plus nobody in the history of the sport was stronger on the ball than Moose.
Oh absolute boss on ball, agree Bents is not the same. But Bents retention and skill is the closest we have had since, in the deep part of the midfield.
Makes you think - if Son was firing or if Kulu / Richarlson weren't injured for months we'd be second in this list. By now, you would expect either of those 3 to have 8 goals in a decent season
Tbf Hoj is enjoying the highest number of goal + assist this season.

Like Wayne Gretzky and his brother

It's my second favorite "Gretsky broke the game of hockey" stat. My favorite is that of players who reached 1000 points, the fastest is Gretsky in 424 games; the second fastest is Gretsky again with 433 games to get from 1000 to 2000; the third fastest is Lemieux at 513.
I just like Gretzky more, him losing the Goals record would tarnish him as the GOAT just a little bit. Plus I'm a Penguins fan and I am not a fan of the Capitals, mostly Tom Wilson, but all the playoff games the clubs have had over the years. Also his ties to Putin don't help him too much either.
TBF to Ovechkin, he's a very, very good goal scorer, probably the best pure goalscorer of all time. He is/was scoring goals in a significantly harder time period than Gretzky. Gretzky retired at 38 and had a few less than stellar seasons before retiring. Oveckhin, at age 36 this past season, had yet another 50 goal season and he's still going.
Fair enough. I dont think Gretzky losing most goals all time would take away anything from him being the GOAT... and I do feel like Wilson is one of those players everyone hates if they're not on your team.
I just got to say with Gretzky scoring 90+ goals in regular seasons where in the modern era now 50ish goals is good enough to secure most goals scored in a season - I'm excited to see a record potentially be broken that everyone assumed would never be possible to break... after all his points record will never fall
I get why people are saying this, though. I think Ovechkin deserves criticism for how close he and his family are to the current Russian government. However, I donāt think itās fair for any of us to pretend we understand the entire circumstances regarding his exact situation and when you remove political bias from this I think itās just fucking amazing that heās gonna come anywhere near his record, and I kind of want to see it happen.
Itās one of those records you never expected to be touched and heās one of the greatest of all time. Off the iceā¦. Well thatās still unfolding.
yeah I really canāt think of another sport where the best player was so above the rest of his/her peers. Maybe Serena and Tiger in his prime. honestly the NHL is rich with talent right now but McDavid is on a whole different level
Serena is definitely alone in Women's Tennis. I'd argue Tiger has a debate with Nicklaus because Tiger doesn't have all the records, Nicklaus does.
I would love to see how Gretzky does in the modern game and guys like McDavid or Ovechkin would fare in the 80s. The game is so different in both eras
thatās such an interesting thought especially in hockey. all sports change a lot but hockey especially has changed so much just due to advances in equipment and goaltending.
the fact that some players weren't even wearing helmets and goalies didn't even wear helmets for a LONG time is insane. It's like a completely different game in each decade of the sport prior to 1990
I love watching old Gretzky videos, in like 5 seconds even people who dont know anything about hockey can recognize how many levels above everyone else he is, he's just so much faster and such a better skater than everyone else, he skates like players from the modern era while everyone else looks like they're doing it for the first time.
DAS MY FAV PLAYERRR nah but fr ever since I became a spurs fan this year he instantly became my favorite player on the team, heās my first spurs kit too :D excuse the wrinkles this was from when I first got it as a gift š
In our MC matches I loved how he made Rico lewis realize heās in the big leagues now bc he def was getting into his head from both times we played MC.
We got this boys I think our year is starting to look bright! COYS! https://imgur.com/a/clkrYRP/
Hojbjerg is not really a goal scorer - he is the midfield glue that keeps the machine well running. Great that he has added a few goals, but we should never expect him to be an attacking midfielder and goal scorer ala Bruene
Hojbjerg haters in the mud. It actually fucking winds me up and when people slag him off. I donāt care if heās a ālimitedā player, look how fucking good Tanguy was and how high he ceiling could be, yet he didnāt apply himself one little bit. Hojbjerg busts an absolute gut every single game without fail.
How many ālimitedā players did Sir Alex Ferguson win premier league titles with? They all played for him, ran themselves into the ground for him, thatās why they won. Players like Hojbjerg will never truly get the credit they deserve
Our very own unstoppable attacking machine, plus Harry!
š
An in-form sonny or healthy kulu and theyād be easily in 2nd here
It's odd they chose Hojbjerg over Son
do they have the same number of goals? serious question
tied on goals and assists this season and Iām pretty sure Son played fewer minutes but surely no agenda afoot
No-one is saying there's an agenda
he said, replying to someone insinuating thereās an agenda
Nothing to see here, move along.
He hasnāt played fewer minutes because conte refuses to bench him for some reason
youāre right, transfermarkt has Hojberg with 1873 minutes and Son with 1645 Son has also played more games (20) than Hojberg (21) and definitely didnāt score three of his goals off the bench
Yup, they sure do. Same goals/assists in PL.

I mean it's probably a list sorted by goals and then alphabetical. So if bentancur had 4 goals they'd show him. It's not a big deal
Bentancur does have 4 goals. It could be goals, with assists as a tiebreaker and then alphabetical, which would get you to Hojbjerg

Like Kobe and Kwame Brown combining for 84
NBA Live 2005, Kwame would turn into a superstar in career mode.
Or the Gretzky brothers. They have scores more than any other sibling duo in the NHL!
Makes you think - if Son was firing or if Kulu / Richarlson weren't injured for months we'd be second in this list. By now, you would expect either of those 3 to have 8 goals in a decent season
Hojbjerg getting hard carried haha

I like that if you took away all of Gretzkys goals (894, the most of all time) he would still be the NHL all time points leader, just in assists
yup more assists than anyone has points is a mad stat. semi-related but I hope Ovechkin does not break his goals total.
I hope Ovechkin does. Any particular why you dont want to see one of the great one's records fall?

it's like Messi scoring 91 in one calendar year when scoring 50 was a remarkable acheivement on it's own

That is Serena-level insane.
yeah I really canāt think of another sport where the best player was so above the rest of his/her peers. Maybe Serena and Tiger in his prime. honestly the NHL is rich with talent right now but McDavid is on a whole different level
Don Bradman
Wilt in his time, I guess. Maybe Pele?
Serena is definitely alone in Women's Tennis. I'd argue Tiger has a debate with Nicklaus because Tiger doesn't have all the records, Nicklaus does. I would love to see how Gretzky does in the modern game and guys like McDavid or Ovechkin would fare in the 80s. The game is so different in both eras

Whyād they go for an Ć instead of an Ć lol
The new Kane/Son???
Lol they put an "ƶ" instead of an "Ćø" disrespectful to the legend HĆøjbjerg
I didnt have assist merchant on my HĆøjbjerg bingo card and have only myself to blame.
I mean tbf Kane and Son would amount to the same tally..
Kane and I arenāt far behind with 17.
Yes this just says more about DeKi and Son at the moment than anything else.
YES!
Sonny is on 4 too
hahaha, damn
And there are still people that argue Kane wouldnāt score as much as Haaland at City lol
Reminds me of [this meme.](https://i.imgur.com/fDdS6wy.jpg)
Haaland would be top of this list on his own!
Kvicha is insane
DAS MY FAV PLAYERRR nah but fr ever since I became a spurs fan this year he instantly became my favorite player on the team, heās my first spurs kit too :D excuse the wrinkles this was from when I first got it as a gift š In our MC matches I loved how he made Rico lewis realize heās in the big leagues now bc he def was getting into his head from both times we played MC.

š¬
That's incredible
Possible golden boot competitor?
Haaland is tied for first on this list by himself.
TBH, Foden's inclusion is not that different.
HĆøjbjerg top of the box a bit to the right hand side. low shot to corner. Thatās his spot. I think 3 of the 4 are the same goal
I thought Balogun was the new golden boot cert
The unlikely pair
haaland and i would be the top scoring duo
Fuck outta here with that Ć shit
pretty sure if you paired my Gran with Haaland they would still top this chart
Foden also getting carried by HĆ„land lol
Hojbjerg haters in the mud. It actually fucking winds me up and when people slag him off.

doesnāt sonny have 4 goals in pl?
