It's not harsh - if he was slow he'd be lucky to get a game in League 2. Now obviously pace is a huge weapon in football, but still.

I didn't watch the game, but I expect he was wank and he's being rated as having a 'great game' solely based on that hit and hope cross (which would have been cleared by any competent defender). Was the same at Man United - would be invisible most of the game, make mistakes galore, then pop up...

Guy who predicted the eventual 15th place team to finish top 5 last season (and told anyone who said they wouldn't they were clueless) telling malvolio and other posters they have no clue, lol. Glass houses and all that son. Daft cunt.

good

Lol calm down. It was the fifth and sixth goals of a 6-0 win. Lewandowski lives for meaningless goals like that. He and Ronaldo have scored more pointless goals that make zero difference to outcomes than any player since about 1960. @Messi983

Predicted City and draw. But wouldn't be surprised at any of the three results for both matches. They're very tight.

It's obviously not all down to him, but he has played a massive part in their success.

They dine out on those albums more than Beckham dines out on that Greece free kick (in terms of international career).

I like a couple of their albums. Definitely Maybe and Morning Glory. Just generally think they're pretty wank and hyped up.

Hate that song.

Good player but very one dimensional.

Beckenbauer is still the best ever defender/sweeper/sometimes midfielder. He was supreme. Baresi and Maldini are amazing pure defenders. There's others too. But as far as marrying defensive ability, speed, athleticism, height, confidence and ability on the ball (both passing and dribbling), I...

You have a good personality and are a good man. Sleep is hard. Please never look up to celebrities again.

No that is all very true and makes a lot of sense. There's definitely a psychological aspect at play as the pressure and toll to not concede a goal is higher. There's greater demands on the Barca team as a whole defensively because they're expected to be so risk-taking and play so high. Hence...

I don't agree with all that but you know I am having a laugh with that post. Still, sharing a name with R9 can't have hurt either.

Brings up an interesting question, Fati. Would he still be rated as highly if he went by 'Dos Santos' or 'Aveiro' rather than piggybacking on R9's iconic nickname 'Ronaldo'?

That's not his full name - that's his first and middle name. His full name is Cristiano Ronaldo dos Santos Aveiro. Where Dos Santos is the paternal name and Aveiro the maternal.

Yes though I would say Flick's comical defending is more a byproduct of his style than really the players just being shocking defensively. Some teams play defensively and still concede lots of goals. I will pay more attention to the lad then. Hopefully he does well.

Been watching the evening sessions which are actually morning and early afternoon here in the UK (though missed yesterday's). Ingebrigtsen not making the 1500m men's final was a big surprise. Same with Hocker's DQ and Kerr finishing last in the final though doing well to finish in spite of...

It was a good game. But I knew how ominous it was at the time. It was right as lockdown was about to start, and probably spread COVID in the UK a fair amount. There were plenty of deaths from the disease in Liverpool after that. Also, you say Alisson - was that not the infamous Adrian game? Or...
