No you can't find shit and have never been able to find shit. All arguments you've come up with you pulled straight out of thin air. Try again. Nothing to refute the evidence, other than saying "don't need to watch" or "don't need to research" to support these facts you so magically conjured up.- DonAndres

Cr150
The stats disagree, quite heavily in fact. Shows he was one of the least efficient high volume crossers in years back in his early days at RM. Later years he didn't ever cross/pass in the box unless it's an open square ball anyway. Stats also showed he was a terrible high volume dribbler. Way...- DonAndres

Lol at you trying to project your own ignorance of Muller onto me and using that as an argument. Pathetic really. Recorded data shows that Muller had 105 assists in 565 matches for Bayern. It also shows he led the Bundesliga in assists in 71/72 with 17 and had 13 the year before that. Also has...- DonAndres

Muller was more two footed and scored a lot with his head. I'd say he was actually more consistent at beating a player before scoring than Ronaldo has been over his whole career. Ronaldo did have a period where he scored more longshots/FK's but, again, the most important portion of his career he...- DonAndres

Cr150
You pretty much implied that Gerd Muller is a poacher while Ronaldo is 'something more' which is certifiable BS. Muller also got assists in the same manner of playing an open ball in already created space. Just cause Ronaldo has gotten more freedom as a roaming target man means nothing, he is...- DonAndres

Samuel Umtiti
If you think of it solely in terms of value to the club, he should be a top 4-5 paid player in the squad. The likes of Coutinho and Dembele warrant absolutely nothing over Umtiti in terms of wages yet they are paid far more. Pay this man and lock him down for 5-6 years at least.- DonAndres

Acting like Ronaldo was ever a playmaker worth note is so revisionist it's crazy. Watch a compilation of his CL assists, well over 90% of them are extremely simple square/touch passes that didn't even create a clear chance. Look at his 'assist' to Casemiro vs PSG, more of the same. He has never...- DonAndres

Ernesto Valverde - V1
Playing Roma in the QF's which, if we really sink them this week, gives us a lot of room to relax in the second leg. Invincibles is worth fighting for. It's an incredibly rare achievement that we're in a great position to get. I don't think it would hurt us in the CL much to have had to 'try'... -
10 - Lionel Messi - v5
They had more shots in both legs and most were clear cut chances. They hit the woodwork twice in the first leg. Especially in the second game they had a number of dangerous opportunities right at our box that broke down at the last second (blocked shots, last ditch tackles/interceptions). They... -
Sergi Roberto
He is a woeful defender, truly. His instincts are all wrong and the teams that have threatened us the most are the ones that target him on the flanks. Going forward he's very much a one-track mind kind of player and has regressed. Doesn't offer enough more than Semedo (or much at all really)...- DonAndres

Eden Hazard
It very well could. The team culture affects the players just as vice versa. At Chelsea he has shown 'greatness' at the EPL level but their ambitions have never really been higher than that since he came. Things could be very different when he's at RM under a coach he idolizes with teammates...- DonAndres

Arthur
Idk why so many people here are sure he's gonna be a flop. I could ask no more from him in terms of style and performance in his circumstances. He's done it at the highest level in Brazil and succeeded, and he shows really good qualities. He has passing range, no fear at breaking the lines...- DonAndres

Lol. Ronaldo was MOTM of that final only in name, definitely not in merit. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KuKTwraiz0M https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OLJzkLwV1xM All the evidence is in there. Ronaldo only had 3 good actions the whole match. 2 one touch finishes, 1 of which was deflected... -
Samuel Umtiti
Haha I meant getting recognition amongst the wider football community. People on BF have more or less known how good Umtiti has been for a while now even if the truly absurd extent of his performances went a bit under the radar even here.- DonAndres

10 - Lionel Messi - v5
He was way behind Messi in CL goals scored and CL titles before 2014, before Modric came. Soon after he arrived Ronaldo embraced his role as full time penalty box poacher and started getting way more service right in front of the goal. Modric was the rightful MOTM in the last 2 CL finals they... -
11 - Ousmane Dembélé - V1
He had to defend extremely deep and cover for Roberto at RB several times when he was nowhere to be seen (wandering somewhere off centrally, marking no one). Vidal also did this a bit when he subbed in. Dembele shouldn't have to be called on defensively as much as he was, and less so being the... -
Ernesto Valverde - V1
Dunno where else to put this, but we've had several years of facing BY FAR the hardest KO opponents of any team. Our last 13 KO stage opponents have been: Chelsea, Juventus, PSG, Atletico, Arsenal, Juventus, Bayern, PSG, City, Atletico, City, Bayern, PSG. This goes all the way back to 12/13... -

Samuel Umtiti
I think Umtiti has pretty decent odds to go down as the GOAT Barca CB. I just haven't seen anyone as talented in every way imaginable as this guy. I've been crazing about him for well over a year and these past months he's finally getting the recognition from everyone that he deserves.- DonAndres

Thibaut Courtois
The optics are bad on 2 nutmeg goals, but he could do nothing about the second one. Any top GK worth his paycheck would have that open leg stance and make himself big in that scenario. You don't completely restrict your lateral movement and open up scoring angles just to avoid getting...- DonAndres
