True but bear in mind that United dropped into the EL that season from the CL. You can say that was a fluke (they did come close to winning the league that year, the infamous Agueroooo season) but I think they were already into their decline (I think they were in decline even when they won title...

Yeah getting to the Europa League final in 2012 was a great achievement, and that Athletic team was stunning to watch. But I agree with Jammie here - doing it consistently in the league is more impressive than a one-off knockout tournament (which can rely more on luck and hitting high peaks).

Going for 2-0 or 3-1. By the way the opening post is incorrect - Saturday is 8th, not 5th.

'This is the typical Salah dribble in his prime. Instead of beating players comprehensively he used to do this around the box. Ronaldo used to actually beat players everywhere on the pitch and carry the ball for a long time and distance.' That's true. More a positional difference.

True, but a lot of Ronaldo's dribbles went nowhere and he didn't always look in control of the ball. Plus, he relied more on pace when dribbling than Salah (Salah had better footwork, better agility and turning being shorter) and his touches were way bigger/looser. More of a large spaces...

Lovely goals there

Good to see you can leave bias at the door here :)

Yes Man U Ronaldo was all about pace and large touches. Salah is about close control and ability in smaller spaces. Ronaldo never scores goals with twists and turns like some of Salah's vs Chelsea and Man City, for example. The fact some would say Ronaldo at Man U was a better dribbler than...

Not in his prime I didn't. Now yes, but in his prime he was an excellent dribbler. His close control and ability to turn was excellent.

Yeah he had one chance in the 2002 final in particular he took down brilliantly and shot well and Courtois made an amazing save. That goes in the narrative is totally different. His all-round game has been fine in big finals generally, he just hasn't scored and that affects what people think of...

One of my favourite ever films.

Tempt and Liverpool fans have me to thank for winning that game. Eyes were shutting all through the 90 mins of Benfica-Barca due to sleep deprivation. Slept from 50th minute to like 80th of the games. Woke up, decided to turn on Liverpool, and Elliott scored within a minute. I was very...

Yeah I feel bad. But I have changed my mind now - I see more about what patriotism is about and it isn't a bad thing. Just have to be more open-minded about certain stuff.

He's just not very good at all. He will never amount to anything - it is so obvious. Nobody rates him outside of Man United fans, who hype up all their academy products. And even plenty of them do not rate him. Chelsea fans were relieved he didn't sign for them. Totally baffled that some...

Real Madrid, 5-0 in winter 2010. No goals but ran the entire game. 10/10 performance.

Yeah I agree with him on most of that, though he was generally a great finisher himself.

Neither. Both overrated cunts where the hype is infinitely bigger than the ability.

See what gnidri said and how I put it earlier. You're confused because the best technical players touch suffer less than less technical players when tired. But compared to their fresh selves there is a difference. Does your productivity at work not suffer when tired? This conversation is so...

Yes

Yes he was. The other one doesn't merit consideration or even attention.
