You should know Ramos not getting playing time at psg is due to the injuries he has suffered severally since he arrived nah

Raumdeuter point is quite simple for any sensible person to grab. If a player has won all he has to win at his prime for both Club and Country then whatever happens at his thirties won't change his legacy. Hence his example of Sergio Ramos.

popizaino:
I am still very sceptical about Havertz being a generational talent though. Hope he proves me wrong.

There's nothing generational about Havertz. He is even a level below Joao Felix in terms of talent.

Capaldi:
I don't know why players allow clubs to put ridiculous release clauses in their contracts especially in la Liga like 800million or even 1 billion. Common sense will tell you to insert a sensible amount to get a bit of leverage in case you want to leave and the club won't allow it.

La Liga need to step in and put a maximum amount allowed cause it's just ridiculous. Clubs are just abusing it by putting unreasonable amount.

drisham:
We all know mount is bang average

And I can see that Pedri really talented. foden doesn't even come close
But let Pedri carry his team to a ucl title while scoring in both the quartets, and the semi ,while delivering a final winning world class pass then we can start the discussions

P. S pedri>>>>>>>Phil foden

Stop believing Spanish hype. Pedri is not better than Foden in any way,shape ,form or size.

For those residing in Africa. How come Nigeria has the largest economy in Africa yet South Africa have the biggest tax revenues than the whole 53 countries combined?

Itsrm:
Madrid fans will disagree with you. They've been sh!t most of the games I've watched and have Courtois to thank for most of their scrappy win.

That they are 9 points clear in la liga tells us how poor every other team has been than it tells how great R.Madrid is.

All these are unnecessary explanations. 9 points clear at the top of the table and cruising with a fantastic come back in the champions league to go into the quarter finals. It's working perfectly for them.

Some people will wait until a team is losing to start dropping nonsense takes up and down.

Itsrm:
How is that working out for them

9 points clear at the top of the table and through to the champions league quarter. Its working out just fine for them.

User09:
Starved of what? Who's gonna pass to him with the wrong passing lanes he creates

It's not even about pressing. Lukaku kept making the wrong movement today. When he doesnt, he becomes static like a pole.

TT better make the big call and drop him in the interim

Please Lukaku is not an idiot or a non league striker that cannot move into good positions. You team creates nothing for him. Even Lewandowski won't do anything with this kind of set up.

Itsrm:
I think I've seen enough to now conclude that Lukaku is just another in our long list of big money flops.

All he does is whine and moan like a b1tch all 90 minutes

Lukaku did nothing wrong today. How can you blame somebody that was starved through out the match?

You cannot play anything more than counter attacking football with kante in midfield Anything else is bound to fail.

Ibime:
Don't confuse possession based midfield with an attacking team. Fabinho is not a possession based DM but his team is an attacking one. Declan Rice is not a possession DM but his team is an attacking one. We are talking about where the DM allows the manager to place the team on the pitch, sitting deep or on the front foot?

Same thing we are saying. Kante cannot play in an attacking team. The only consistency between
him and success is that the team has to give up possession and probably play a 2-man midfield. To play to his strength the team has to sit deep. You should be talking about kante not Jorginho.

Is it Jorginho or kante who can't play in a possession based team? Might be wrong but every time Chelsea has adopted a possession based system or a more progressive midfield system kante has always been a passenger. From conte 3-5-2 to Sarri 4-3-3.

All these mentality talks are nonsense. A team with weak mentality doesn’t come back from behind to win games over and over again. A team with weak mentality doesn't go on an unbeaten run. How come Cavani took Mason under his wing with no issue, gave him advice on the pitch, even protected him on the pitch. All of a sudden the younger players don't take advise or learn ? That's absolute BS.

The same players had no problem last season watching and learning from Cavani. It makes no sense.

GloryIsaac:
Your post talked about comebacks and fighting spirit.

My reply wants to know where the comebacks and fighting spirit were when Villarreal and Sevilla beat us.

My reply wants to know why the comebacks and fighting spirit don’t show up when it matters most.

Why does it always seem that at the point of success, they fall short?

Of what use is comebacks and fighting spirit if it can’t win us a trophy?

These are the questions that need answers.

Your question and entire post makes zero sense cause it's not related to my post in anyway. I still don't understand the point you are trying to pass through.

GloryIsaac:
Like they fought back against Villarreal in Europa League final.

Like they fought back against Sevilla when Fernandes lost his mind out of anger and raised his voice at Lindelof right on the pitch.

United is turning into an ‘almost made it’ team like Tottenham and we’re giving excuses for them. Ok

How is this related to my post?

GloryIsaac:
It’s a result of persons refusing to take responsibility. Something both teams share.

Juve signed Ronaldo for UCL glory, they got knocked out by Ajax in a tie Ronaldo scored home and away.
The next season, Juve got knocked out by Porto in a tie Chiesa scored 3 goals across both legs.

In both seasons, Bonucci and his fellow defenders couldn’t hold the lead despite their attackers doing their jobs.

Bonucci mentioned that the players subconsciously relaxed because they felt Ronaldo’s presence alone would win them games. How is that Ronaldo’s fault?

No matter how reliable a player is, his teammates must step up too, else the burden becomes too much to bear.

Won’t even talk about United at all. The Europa League final against Villarreal speaks volumes.

It has nothing to do with taking responsibilities. It's all about game play and how Ronaldo presence affects team tactics and set up negatively. Juventus fans complained about Ronaldo all through last season and United fans are doing the same. Ronaldo is a problem.

Mrviktor:
Stop saying trash.

If you don't know how to read then that's your business not mine.

I still don't understand this talk about mentality all of a sudden. This is another overused cliche going around. We saw it last season how the boys always fight back countless time when falling behind and ended up winning numerous matches. You don't do that without a fighting spirit or being lazy. You don't need a cheerleader for that.

olabode89:
lol!

This Ronaldo matter suppose don tire everybody. I hope he leaves at the end of the season. He is a top 3 best player of all time but his acquisition messed up the team's attacking chemistry.

Three major things,

1. His build up play is shiit, same with Cavani

2. He tends to make pressure inducing passes to the midfield or sometimes fullback that messes up attacking plays

3. He took away the freedom giving to Greenwood to shoot whenever he is free. Ronaldo can be seen getting mad whenever Greenwood does not pass to him when he is on goal. The crazy thing is that he does the same thing that he complains about.

The most selfish and laziest player complaining about other players being lazy, selfish and not working hard enough. The irony is staggering. Apparently complaining and throwing your hands in the air makes one a winner.

weedtaker:
I have and I don’t understand what you mean by Ronaldo’s gameplay.

Is it that he’s a poor finisher or a lazy striker or a selfish player?

All of the above and more.

nitrogen:


Lool. You can’t even back up your assertions. Some of you will just come here and make unreasonable and shitty conclusions. At least try to think deeply about something before you type it here.

Leyqute:
This is an example of what I was talking about.

Herd mentality.

There’s this mental laziness on this thread where people outsource their thinking to the herd.

Like most of the herd, this one that quoted me see everything in black and white.

I complain about an aspect of Ronaldo’s game = I think Ronaldo is uber useless and I am his enemy. Nothing else. No grey areas.

How about complaining about Ronaldo’s game = complaining about Ronaldo’s game?

And how about attacking the issue and not the poster?

No wonder the discus here has become boring and predictive. No nuances, just black and white views.

The double standard is shocking.

Rashford was scoring goals last season despite playing with injuries yet he was still criticized and heavily scrutinized cause his overall gameplay was not up to par.

Bruno was assisting and scoring last season yet he wasn't exempted from scrutiny as well. He was told to improve his general play and ball retention.

It seems Ronaldo is exempted from scrutiny on this forum.

nitrogen:
Answer the question na! Also, what’s Ronaldo’s position and task on the pitch? Is he the one affecting our defenders’ and midfielders’ games?

Continue whatever discussion you are having with others away from my mentions.

Mrviktor:
which new signing has made a bigger impact in the epl than ronaldo


set awon ronaldo is d problem..

without ronaldo we would be 11th now and out of the championsleague

What impact exactly has he had in the league?

He's had the 2nd most shots in the league, the 3rd highest npxG90, yet he sits in shared 10th in non penalty
goals in the league. Behind players like Dennis, Son, ESR, Bernardo Silva, Antonio, Vardy and on par with players
like Cornet, Gallagher, Saka, Mount and Maupey. How have we improved with him?

weedtaker:
What is Ronaldo’s game play, can you elaborate please.

Have you not been watching our matches.?

Juventus fans complained about Ronaldo game play last season, United fans are also complaining about Ronaldo. Two separate fan base complaining about the same thing is not a coincidence.

Amoto94:
Jesus was neither killed nor crucified and Abraham didn't sacrifice his son it was a test which he passed ( ram was used when he was about to slit throat), instead of you to stick to performing experiments in the lab or writing research papers to further your academic career you rather engage in telling lies about religion of people to sound smart. Teejay who do you like this?

I beg your pardon.

donjazet:
My friend shut that shithole you call a mouth.
You literally live in a country that treats pedophiles better than transgenders.
Are you blind to the fact that under Islamic law, I can literally marry two 12 year old girls as my wives? While I will be stoned to death if I was a transgender there.

I've told you to equip yourself better mentally before engaging in discourse like these.

I don't live in your country. Once again you are still typing more nonsense equating two things that are not related together. What's the relation between a person changing his gender and an adult who is sexually attracted to young children? You sound senseless to me no offense.

donjazet:
Comprehension is not your strong suit, is it?

Both of those things are considered criminal many places which is why I am demanding for elucidation.
In many countries today, pedophiles and transgenders are grouped together and stoned to death.

So when I see people who claim to "live and let live", I see it as a weak stance. I want them to be more objective in their stance.

My question was basically boiling down to the "rights" of transgenders. Do you think they should be accorded equal basic human rights?
If you are, are you able to speak out for them?
I'm ashamed of you for your lack of comprehension. Do better next time.

There's nothing like comprehension issues regarding your post. It was simply disgusting, irritating and stupid. Nobody groups transgenders and pedophiles together except maybe in your head. There's no relation between both whatsoever. How does someone choice of gender deprive them from having equal basic human rights? That's a silly question to ask.

donjazet:
Just letting people do what makes them happy isn't good enough to form an opinion about something.
What if having sex with children made me happy? Will you apply this stance of whatever makes people happy.

I want people to objectively state their opinion on this issue, especially those outside the country who might have had close encounters with some of these people.

You are basically comparing a man deciding he wants to wear skirt or gown to having sex with children? Can you even hear yourself. You sound sick.
