I think he has already peaked. The treble season was his peak in goalscoring and trophy winning. He's reliant on athleticism and will likely decline early. Let's be honest, he's awful technically outside the box. Plus he doesn't fit their team still.

Table updated - 19th in UK and 50th in world. Top 0.068 percent in world. Hopefully I can maintain this til end of season but a massive ask. This is by far the most popular club league or tournament on the site

Welcome to the forum Richard.

Yeah this dull obsession with 'goaL StATs' modern fans have is a sure sign of not understanding the game or never playing it. Any idiot can count up stats on the internet - actually analysing and dissecting a game takes insight. I have never been a fan of these robotic, boring scorers or stats...

He's a limited midfielder and player in general, but he's good at getting into the box and scoring goals a decent amount from midfield. Conte is playing to his strengths. Time will tell if he will sustain it.

Imo Greenwood is a lot more talented than Rashford and a youunger investment, but obviously comes with all that 'baggage'.

They've played in 4 of the last 7 World Cup Finals. They have built up a pedigree and should be in the mix again. At least Quarter Finals and likely further if they reach 80 percent of their potential (QF is more impressive than usual given the extra knockout round)

Messi was MOM in three CL Finals he played in, or very close to it in 2009 (he or Xavi or Iniesta). Ronaldo on the other hand was rank rotten in all of the 2009, 2014, 2016 and 2018 finals. And not that great in 2008 besides his goal. Those stats never tell the full story because Ronaldo often...

Agree, They were gonna be masters of the multiverse.

They won 13 of the first 21 PL titles, under Ferguson. But they played perfect football for that era. They are a dino club - they have failed to adapt to modern football. Amusingly, what fucked them the most was Pep's Barca. Not only were they completely inadequate against them in the two...

People think that about them all the time, don't worry. I am sure they will be back eventually. It could be soon as football changes quickly. However, there is so much competition in the PL now and they are left behind. They can't spend due to PSR, or sell because of the idiots putting their...

To be fair I haven't posted for weeks so I know that.

I have had this discussion with you before. It is worse than Aston Villa's squad. I have said this many times - people overrate their players simply because they wear a Man United shirt and because of United's past under Ferguson. For instance Morgan Rogers is miles more talented than Alejandro...

Very good player. A bit overrated but par for the course being English and playing for Man U. Still a top player in his day. Though all the talk that he could play in midfield when he got older was hilarious at the time and proved utterly clueless when he did get older. Inconsistent touch and...

You're the type of guy who thinks someone is 'great defensively' because they are tall, run about and have muscles and a six-pack.

That sums him up completely. Let the stats merchants on here who have never kicked a ball though lick his arsehole. It's also another example of someone finally coming back into form and the rats coming out from under their holes. They will disappear again when he goes on a statless run.

He's your type of player because of the 'glitz and glamour' around him - you see football as entertainment, not a sport, and you are obsessed with stats. Saying people are bitter because 'he's better than their club's midfielders' is silly and an extremely weak point as you could apply that to...

He's at Bournemouth not Palace, but he did look good in the games or two I seen him in.

Fair enough, thanks for the info. Aye I overlooked the height advantage despite watching it a bit in the Olympics (and prior Olympics). That all makes sense then about it being a game for giants like basketball is. It's interesting that Asian and African teams have got far here and there in...

Yeh and Rivaldo is away up at the top left out of sight lol.
