3 assists in 8 games in the CL proper. He never started all of them either as he wasnt fully fit until a couple of months into the season. He was also the best player against Arsenal. Outstanding in their home game. Manager picked him out for praise afterwards.
That's now 9 goals and 15 assists in all competitions this season. Excellent numbers.
Sounds brilliant if you look up stats on transfrmarket, the reality is he had 1 assist and it was a simple 5 yard pass.
He won 2 penalties, 1 against Sevilla and 1 against Dortmund which transfrmarket counts as an assist. (but no other reputable stat counting site does)
Instead of looking up stats on wikipedia or transfrmarket I prefer to judge players with the eye test and almost every time I've watched Tilman in a big game it's totally passed him by. I give you 5-6 OF games, I watched him away to Dortmund as well for PSV, same thing.
Look, he's a good player, no getting away from it. He's just not the next coming that some would have you believe on here.
