tevez man.utd stats..
.2007-08'=48app 19goals.
.2008-09'= 51app 15goals.
.but when he went to city he made 42app and scored 29. A goal shy of making it 30.
Maybe you don't remember that a lot of problems Tevez had problems in his second year, often been benched for Berbatov.

how many did tevez rooney saha scored when the were playing alongside RonaLdo?
Rooney was 21, Tevez was 24
Rooney was a kid!
Forget the fact that Ronaldo was young too, he was just extra-special. (just like how Neymar already has almost 50 goals for Brazil at 23, but we can't judge other players of his age by his ability)

Both scored about 20 each that 2007/2008 season anyways.


Some say Suarez is better because he plays for Barca.
What would you say about his Liverpool days? He even managed to win the European golden boot there!



Meanwhile a party is ongoing in the Chelsea thread.

He actually said that. But whenever he says something it's highly advised to translate it to the opposite. So, in reality about half a year ago in Ingushetia local police officer forced 17-year old girl to marry him despite already having a wife (having 2 wives in Russia is illegal, obviously). This story became known all around Russia but there was no follow-up. The only reaction from the goverment was from minister who is responsible for watching over non-adults rights - he basically justified it.
I actually checked it online.
It was reported to be a hoax!

Benzema only had 132 playing minutes more than Suarez. If you removed the one penalty Suarez scored, they would both end in 15 Laliga goals. Suarez also take free kicks. He plays in a stronger team.
He gets substituted every time since he gets fatigued deep into matches. That's the reason for the 132 minutes played over Suarez.
How many free kick did Suarez score?

Liverpool must have been very strong for Suarez to have won an European golden shoe with 31 league goals wink

The only 2 strikers better than Benzema are Suarez and Aguero...and maybe Muller. So 3. And Ibra. Ok so 4 grin

Everybody else is at best on par. Benzema is like Rooney...He's not just a striker, he's heavily involved in the build up play as well. This guy has notched up a minimum of 10 assists a season since 2012.

I dont really want to start extolling the virtues of Benz this morning, cos I'm at work. But daring to mention Aubameyang and Benz in the same sentence is a mortal sin.
Benz is a poor man's Rooney. (in-form Rooney)
Rooney 2010-12 was more like a Messi.

Putting Benz and Rooney in the same sentence is a Sin smiley

Aubameyang?
He seems more ruthless (less skillful though) but plays for a lesser team, so for now, Benz is still ahead.

That is the aspect I don't like about his game. That movement is good against weak and small oppositions when the ball comes to the final third freely. But against strong opposition he is one man less from his team. That's short one. But he can be useful as a super sub with a late goal needed and every team mate pushes forward pimping balls into the box.

If you doubt me, go back and check his record against big oppositions apart from Chelsea. May be Terry and co couldn't come with his pace. He really punished Chelsea. But against the other big teams, he was shyte.
But he is starting and setting Bundesliga on fire now!
15 goals in 12 matches sounds nice. grin

I can see you still think of him in terms of his United days, but he's improved as at last session season and is quite good, especially in a team playing 'good football'.

I think he would have helped united this season, with all those crucial chances wasted with wayward finishing and lack of presence in the box.

You said Chicharito won games for Madrid, and I showed you he only won two games. You said I left out his matches in early April, then I produced all his matches. That settled it, but you diverted. Anyway.....

Drogba has a better ball control than Chicha. Drogba can take a long ball on his chest and bring it down to his foot before sloting in. Drogba has a very strong aerial ability. He doesn't need a free header to scorer from a set piece. Drogba also sometimes drifted to the left and involved in build up when his team is defending.

Chicharito on the other hand isolates himself even when his team is under pressure for a long term. This is why when you start him in a strong match, he might be a short one. Like the team playing with 10 men. Chicha relies on speed and quickness to finish off a chance when his team is pressing.

In a nutshell, Drogba and Chicha are not really the same.
Of course Drogba is a better striker without doubts.

Don't judge by the goals alone.
His movements created spaces and pressure on the defenders in the box which of course helped because Madrid are very often static in attack.
And he was much improved last season and got more involved in the teams play.
He even put in a few crosses.
For example he scored two long range shots last season which he never did at united.

He's better than he was when he first came to United, when he was a total 18 yard box player.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Elxandre(m): 9:34am On Dec 14, 2015
Why is United looking for Ronaldohuh

I'm doubtful he can keep up with the physical football in England in his present state.
He doesn't even run so much anymore at Madrid.
No longer the evil winger we used to know.

I'll be very sad if that guy flops in United sad

anyone can pick anyone, but based on current form suarez over benz, just like i would also pick mahrez over hazard, and giroud over costa. but that doesn't mean Benz isn't world class, imagine someone branding lewandowski and aguero heaven class when compared to benz, and you saying benzema is overated. Na so dem compare Martial wey never play reach 6months to Lukaku wey don rock EPL for 2+yrs successfully.
Not even about current form bros.
I don't judge players by recent form.

Yes Suarez no be Benzema mate! smiley

Just look at the precision of Suarez, his work ethic and determination.
Look at his goals.
He makes those difficult goals look easy, for example his goal against Madrid at the Bernabeu last season, or his volleys this season.
Suarez scored 49 goals for Ajax in a single season before leaving for Liverpool.



Martial to Lukaku?
Lukaku is certainly better at the moment, but if Martial keeps improving, I'm certain Lukaku won't be fit to lace his boots in a few years.
With that technical ability and power, he could go places.

Na old age dey worry Costa according to some fans grin

You are very funny. Your argument is senseless and you lost it before it began.

I have given you facts and evidence and you are writing wrong essays. The truth is that you were no longer making sense. For instance you said Benzema doesn't play in the box, later you were asking how many goals he scores from outside of the box. Ukwu!!!

You also were saying Benzema was not a world class striker which was no where in our debate. So I should have followed you to your aimlessness? It was in order not to embarrass you I left all that diversion.
sad
Where did I mention Benz being in the box or not?
The only thing I said is he never scores one on ones because his movement isn't stellar.
He doesn't wear, defences down with his movement, which Hernandez does.

I think you made me derail the purpose of my argument with your statistics which doesn't always tell the true story.
Everyone knows Benzema is a gifted player, but you insisting he's better than Hernandez just based on his flair is wrong.
An in form Drogba is head and shoulders above Benzema, even though we all know Drogba is not a flair player.

I asked how many goals he scores outside the box, because I was trying to point out the fact that he isn't as special as they paint him.

Please be polite.
You don't have to call my argument senseless!
It's okay not to agree.

Elampiro at least you agree Madrid won almost all their games with Chicha starting.
Everyone misses easy chances, so we can't blame him for that.
Benz gets replaced in many games because he fizzles out unlike the likes of Suarez, Drogba who drag their teams to the very last minute.

I'm not old school.
There has always been exceptional strikers with different characteristics.
Drogba is a modern striker, but he can't play so much with the ball, but he was deadly nonetheless.
Look at you mentioning R9, Henryhuh
Those guys were aggressive strikers who weren't on the same level with Benz in anyway.

How many times have you seen Benz score from outside the 18 yard box?
How many difficult goals does he score?
People say he is world class, but where are the world class goals? (Just watch Suarez's goals for adequate comparison)

Benzema is a bit overrated!

Only few people truly understand this anyways.

So because of two matches, Madrid should have benched Benzema for Chicharito who made the team's attack looked mechanical?

Tell me after the Athletic and Celta Vigo games, what else Chicha did till the end of the season? At some point Benzema was injured, Chicha was not even used again. Madrid preferred to play without a striker instead of Chicharito who distorted the flow of their game.

April 29 Madrid 3 Almania 0
Chicha played 90 mins scorer 0

May 2 Seville 2 Madrid 3
Chicharito played 66 mins scored 0

May 5 Juventus 2 Madrid 1
Chicha came on 66 mins scored 0

May 9 Madrid 2 Valencia 2
Chicharito played 90 mins 0 goal.
Pepe and Isco scored.

May 13th Madrid 1 Juventus 1
Chicha from 67 minutes goals 0

May 17th Español 1 Madrid 4
Chicha came 63rd minute. Scored 0

May 24th Madrid 7 Gatafe 3
Chicha played 90 mins scored 2

Can you now tell me how Chicha fetched Madrid points with a run of games? Look at the 6 games after Athletic and Celta games, he went blank. Not only did he went blank in scoring, he was annoynimous in most of the time. He also missed scoring an almost empty net at least twice. I think against Valencia.

Lastly, Madrid struggled because of long term injury to Pepe which distorted the Centre defence pairing with Ramos. Verane inexperience exposed Madrid.
Your statistics didn't include games in early April and even march I think. That was even the periods I was talking about.
I watched almost all Madrid's game last season, and I'm not speaking just by stats alone.
They don't always reveal all the truth.
Even with what you posted, Madrid won all games he started. This guy stretches opposition defense, thereby creating openings.

The Fact is Madrid's attack dies off once benzema fizzles out of the match.
It then becomes almost impossible to break down a defense.
A striker who doesn't even fight for the ball.

It's okay if you don't agree anyways.

The highlighted incidents were carried out by separatists from breakaway countries like Chechnya, Ingushetia, South Ossetia where the majority are Muslims. They're fighting for independence and autonomy, not jihad.
Let's not be too quick to tar all Muslims with the same brush.
Far worse terrorist incidents have been carried out by Christians. ...Munich Olympics, Waco siege, Oklahoma bombing, the IRA, the Baader-Meinhof gang, etc...these incidents and groups were not Muslim attacks/Islam.
So once one isn't Muslim, he's Christian?

You don't think those bombers may have been atheists, since they weren't caught with bibles or screaming Jesus?
