    Champions League 25/26

    The idea presented above, or by other fans, that Salah is boring to watch or just a goalscorer has always been baffling to me - he's had some real moments of genius and some of his dribbling and passing is outstanding. I reckon it's envy from rival fans. And in Tempt's case, he doesn't like...

    Because he fancies him (lol just joking @Fati_Future_BallonDor)

    Yeah he deserves 9 or 10 for scoring five in that game in that game in isolation. Moldova are improving but they're still a minnow. So the context has to be he was playing against Moldova and the result would be the same had they scored 3 and not 9 or 10 or whatever they got. His performance...

    Probably why he was so good. Happy as Larry.

    What's the point though if they get the team nowhere? Ultimately his teams won one covid CL, so what did those goals in smaller games achieve? THIS IS MY POINT! Individual goal records are meaningless in football - all that matters is what how many goals the TEAM scores, and how many the TEAM...

    On the contrary, if he scored one goal but played much better in general play than with three, I would rave over him. See Haaland the other day - two lovely goals, but what most impressed me was his better link up play and defensive headers. Was refreshing to see his game evolve (and hope he...

    I know Bican, less familiar with Matosic. Bican is my point. Great player but nobody cares because it was 'prehistoric times' (their words, not mine). Lewa has scored a lot of goals in CL, but how many big games that he changed stand in the memory? Other than the Real game for Dortmund.

    9 - Robert Lewandowski

    It was years ago. And was 6/10 at best anyway and nothing amazing relative to GOAT level playmakers. I watched his entire career so I know. Told you before - celebrities donate for tax evasion reasons and for PR. I wish you would stop bringing that up. Ronaldo is especially a candidate for...

    It's basic knowledge. It's not profound or special to know that a player can be better than another player despite scoring fewer goals. An alien coming from Mars could tell you that in 10 minutes. But so many football fans seem to lack this very basic, easy to grasp concept.

    9 - Robert Lewandowski

    That was years ago. His playmaking even then was 6/10 at best relative to the GOATs. And tbh that is a disgraceful comment - the guy is actually management, but you need to get a grip thinking celebrities are better because they make more money. Ronaldo has a talent for football, but that...

    9 - Robert Lewandowski

    I am not claiming to be an oracle. Just saying you get more of a feel for the game when you play thousands of times over the decades. I play with and against good players but it's not an especially high level. But it does not need to be - no matter what level you play at, you begin to understand...

    9 - Robert Lewandowski

    My point is that if he hasn't got their all-round game, he cannot be rated on their level. It's pretty self-explanatory. I believe he gets a great boost in all-time rankings due to his fame off the pitch, his obsessive fanboys, and a media manufactured rivalry with Messi that was created to...

    Thanks. As I have said before, when you play football yourself, at whatever level, you truly get an idea for the qualitative aspects of the game and how some players are more interested in accumulating stats and other players are better in general play. When you play the game yourself you truly...

    I am not saying Ronaldo and Lewandowski aren't great players, because that would be foolish. I am saying they get more credit than they deserve RELATIVE TO THEIR PEERS, past and present, who I consider even more elite than they are. That's not the same as saying they're not excellent players.

    9 - Robert Lewandowski

    Ronaldo clearly hasn't got the all-round game of Maradona and Pele. That is undeniable. R9 is more disputable, but I'd still say R9 had a better all-round game. Cristiano Ronaldo doesn't help himself with his obsession over goals and his belief that biggest goalscorer equals best footballer. He...

    9 - Robert Lewandowski

    How's it wrong? They've both scored tons and tons of goals that made no objective outcome to matches. Yes they have scored big goals too, but they've done a hell of a lot of stat padding. Messi has too but not as much and he's a far better all-round player than them. @Messi983 agrees with me...

    9 - Robert Lewandowski

    What big games in the CL (other than the Real Madrid game) has Lewa really performed in or scored in? Most of his goals come in smaller games. Xavi, Modric and Iniesta are far bigger legends and more talented footballers than him, some people just care about goals. Shows how little they know...

    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.

    14 - Marcus Rashford

    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.
