dicksj93:"The fact that Arjen Robben failed to make the top three was 'a shame'," declared Rummenigge, a two-time Ballon d'Or winner (1980, 1981). “It’s barely possible to play better than he has in the last year and a half.” The former German international was pleased with Neuer's inclusion in the final three though, stating: "I'm really delighted for Manuel. He put in some outstanding performances at the World Cup, and also in the Champions League and Bundesliga, and he’s won things.” ### Imagine the reason for nominating Neuer. It is just another Canavaro scenario. |

LMAO, what's this, a troll post? How clueless can you be? It's really not that hard to find out why Neuer has been nominated. How old are you, 12? |

edi287:LOL. Just do a search for the howlers Courtois produced last season. Would make you think twice Let me guess, you've never even seen Neuer play except for the world cup in more than perhaps 5 games - am I right? |

thegoodjoehunt3:Ah yes. 19 goals conceded in 35.5 games with Neuer last season. 10 goals conceded in 5.5 games with one of the backup keepers. Surely, the team does most of the work. Especially Schweinsteiger who has barely played all year, and Kroos of all people, what has he ever done for the defense? Troll post by a would-be pundit who has no clue what he's talking about. |

ezekiel66:Bayern Munich play a possessive game. Their style does not allow the opposing team have the ball to attack them. It is not Manuel Neuer's saves that makes Bayern win games but the possessive style they play. Neuer has little or nothing to do with the possessive style of Bayern or Germany. That is why I said others do the work. Manchester City vs Bayern Munich in 2013, Bayern Had 66% possession. Schweinsteiger completed 73 passes in the 76 minutes he played. Passing accuracy, 94%. Passing accuracy in opposing half, 98%. http://www.bbc.com/sport/0/football/24354473 |

ezekiel66:Kroos was very much a holding midfielder for Bayern last season, it isn't too far-fetched to consider Alaba playing in a midfielder trio alongside the defensive cover of Bastian Schweinsteiger and Lahm. http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2132651-how-bayern-munich-plan-to-cope-without-toni-kroos-next-season |

ezekiel66:Kroos is another professor. He has graduated from Xabi Alonso's university very quickly. He surprises me because he is never worried. If he is under pressure or not, his play is always the same. I do not know his best position. He can always improve in the position he is playing, but at this moment it is not easy to see how. He plays the ball quickly, always the right pass, he does not give the ball away, he wins it back.......Coach Ancelotti. http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2268590-why-toni-kroos-is-fast-becoming-a-key-cog-for-real-madrid |

ezekiel66: Bayern Munich beat Augsburg today 4-0. Possession was 73%-27%. Shots was 26-6. So tell me how Neuer can be the star player of such a team? 1 Like |

thegoodjoehunt3:barca used to enjoy such stat yet we cud all still tel dat Valdez is one big flop...I ask u again....wasn't he very outstanding at schalke? |
Re: Manuel Neuer's Ballon D'or Nomination Is A Joke by edi287: 12:15am On Dec 14, 2014 |
ezekiel66:Watched Neuer back when he played for schalke...didn't rate him that highly. No way is he the greatest keeper of all time. I'd take buffon in his prime over him any day of the week. |

dicksj93:He was outstanding at Schalke. However, goals were put passed him. For instance, Schalke 6-1 aggregate loss to Manchester united. No one will put Neuer in the World best 5 players when he was at Schalke. He is being rated now because of the way Bayern plays and reduces the pressure he is under. |

edi287:I do not know of all time. However, in this era, Buffon is the greatest. I marvel when I watch him goal keep for Juventus until this day. |

Bayern Munich 2 - 0 Freiburg shots on target :13 - 0 shots off target :17 - 1 possession (%) :76 - 24 corner kicks :10 - 1 December 16, 2014. Is someone going to say Manuel Neuer was the star player in this game? |
