Jodera:
What do you mean by tap in striker?

Aguero that wasn't tap in, how many goals did he have per season?
Where others not working for him?

Should I talk about Gabriel Jesus during his time there?

Like how can you be a striker and you don't expect others to work for you, especially when you're in the best team in the planet.

Why is Haaland under a different standard when anyone half his achievements (bar Messi and Ronaldo) are winning Balon dor on a constant?

Just because Ronaldo in his later years made poaching trendy, football wasn't like this before.
How many pure poachers have won the ballon d'or in history?

There is reason why Franz Beckenbeur is rated higher than Gerd Muller despite both playing in the same team

Kimbeast:
I asked you who had a better season not who had a better world cup. How did Messi have a better season than Haaland?

Who was the better player Messi or Haaland?

Kimbeast:
Present your argument straight not this zig zag. Are you saying for the 2022/2023 season Messi and Rodri was better than Haaland?

Yes.
Messi absolutely 100% deserved the award.

Kimbeast:
Nobody told you Haaland is the best player in the world. He simply said for the 2022/2023 season Haaland was the player of the year. You can list names of those better than Haaland for that season if you disagree. I would like you to tell us the best player in the world.

Player of the year in England which he won didn't he?
Now if you're arguing he should have won over Messi in 22/23 then you're clowning.
Because for one Rodri his teammate was deemed superior than him in Europe.
Not participating in the World Cup and yet there are mofos who still bring up this take about Ballon d'or.

oliverano:
Football never spoil, we're in a different era now and no amount of nostalgia will change that and no be today I don dey follow round leather.

When Kane was banging in goals left right and center and even played UCL final, nobody called him best player in the wordl because he didn't win any title to back it up. It's not that deep.

When Shearer and Nisteroy were scoring, did they win the treble? Last season was for Haaland, period!

Again i want you to prove to me how Haaland is the best in the world.
You keep mentioning trebles. As if he didn't ghost in all the finals he played.
He's the best striker in the world,
Overall he's not the best player in the world.
How hard is that?

oliverano:
In the other argument, you are calling it Tuchel's Bayern meaning you assume them to be weak because of Tuchel. How do you expect a weak team to challenge a motivated team like Leverkusen?

Now you're calling that same Tuchel's Bayern, a Bayern who has been winning Bundesliga for 10 years, meaning you expected them to be strong enough to win the bundesliga again or at least challenge till the very end.

So how can one team be weak and strong at the same time managed by same person?

Tuchel or no Tuchel, Leverkusen are 16points ahead if I'm not mistaken. Double header between both is just 6pts so let's say Bayer Leverkusen lost both ties they would still be 10pts ahead of Bayern.
Forget Bayern, they are inconsequential. Leverkusen are operating in the GOAT tier of greatest Bundesliga campaigns.
Bayern would need to go back to 2013 or one of those Pep seasons to challenge this Alonso's side

oliverano:
No evidence suggests this. We can only assume. However, the fact is, quote me if I'm wrong....

Pep has been here since 2016, during that period, he spent the budget of all the sub-subsaharan African countries without winning the UCL. The moment Haaland joined, UCL was delivered.

Coincidence? I don't think so. For last season, the award was his!

Football don spoil.
How can anyone prove to me that Haaland is the best player in the world?
Shearer, Van Nisterooy etc were never called the best in the world...despite their goal scoring feats

Again what was his impact in the two legged semis and the finals?
How can a ghost be the difference when you can't even notice his presence on the pitch?

Capaldi:
At the end of the season both will likely be league champions and that's the one thing that counts. 2 in 4 seasons with Sporting is a great achievement for Ruben as well. How is Xavi work at Leverkusen better than that?

He's guiding Leverkusen to their first league title since the history of the club.
Doing it in commanding fashion, beating a Bayern who have won the Bundesliga 10+ times in a row.
He's also on course tracking to beat the points total of 2013 Bayern Treble winners.

Far more impressive than Amorim achievements

oliverano:
Exactly. Haaland was the difference last season for City, may be marginally but he was the man. For last season, the award was his, absolutely no question about that!

Which difference?
Man city could have beaten Bayern managed by Tuchel without Haaland.
In the semis and finals, he was a ghost

Capaldi:
Any coach you appoint after klopp will face the same challenges even Xabi that was your initial choice. Out of all the available options he is the best you can get.

I think Alonso's work this season at Leverkusen is better than anything Amorim has done in his career so far.

raumdeuter:
Facts only

Remove Hazard there
Hazard in his prime years was a man of big games.

raumdeuter:
Shey the game where he missed multiple chances and was posing for camera not knowing say breakfast dey come

But he didn't ghost though or touched the ball 11 times in 90mins did he?

Capaldi:
How does he remind you of Villa boas and what does Xabi remind you of?

Villa boas took the biggest team in Portugal to win league. Ruben is about to take Sporting that hasn't won the league in 19years to 2 league titles in 4 seasons. Apart from even those titles his tactical ability and set up is why I rate him.

And Villa Boas was also praised for his tactical ability. Don't the forget he also won the UEFA cup.
I'm not saying Amorim would flop, but going from the Portuguese league to the PL is a huge step up and with the huge expectations replacing Klopp, would be bigger than any challenge he has faced

raumdeuter:
He should sign up to be a terrorist and not a football player

Especially not in key games

Henry got to the CL final and terrorized his own team missing glit edged chances and they lost

Until he went to be carried to the CL at Barcelona the same team that beat him

At least he wasn't a ghost all game.
Didn't he get an assist in that game?
Very good performance in the 2000 Euros final as someone mentioned here too.

Capaldi:
Reports are Liverpool have an agreement with Ruben Amorim for next season. What a wonderful appointment for them. He is a far better choice than Xabi.

I don't think so. He reminds me of Villa Boas, hope I'm wrong

raumdeuter:
Haaland produced that performance vs PSG while he was at Dortmund and vs Bayern last season

Haaland scored goals yes.
But Henry terrorized the whole Bernebau all game.
He singlehandedly carried the whole Arsenal attacking threat

raumdeuter:
Haaland has done enough in big games for his age while Henry choked in most of his big games in his career

Wait till Haaland retire and has the type of shameful big game performance like Henry before we compare them

Big game or not Henry was ten times the footballer to Haaland and even he lost the Ballon to Nedved a certain year.
Can Haaland produce the Bernabau performance Henry showcased at Arsenal?
Football isn't just about scoring goals, there are works to be done before a goal is scored

raumdeuter:
Mbappe has won it in the last 3 seasons

Yes which is why I said he arguably could have been.
He had the assists/goals plus chance creation, dribbles completed were all elite.

raumdeuter:
Was Messi the best PSG player last year

He was arguably the best player in lique 1 by most metrics

raumdeuter:
Didn't Michael Owen win the Balon dor and he was just better than Walcott

And Owen Ballon award is seen as one of the biggest jokes.

Jodera:
Different styles of play shouldn't be a criteria to victimise someone.

Haaland broke unimaginable records last season while winning EVERYTHING. That itself makes him the world best player.

What did Rodri and Kdb do to deserve the Balon dor?
In fact what are they doing that they haven't done before Haaland came?

Ask any City fan who they would pick in crucial deciding match between either Haaland or Rodri/KDB.
That should give you your answer.
Haaland was a ghost in the big games.
City wins those trophies with or without him, infact City played better football without him

Jodera:
Someone broke all records unimaginable last season and you think just the "best striker tag" is enough to justify his efforts?

I'm not one to start judging whether he has 1 touches or 80 touches but there's something called efficiency and he did it effectively.

He won all trophies ought to be won last season being the top scorer and breaking all records there is to break.

I'm not sure you understand what the term best Player in the world mean.
You can't be the best player when you have just 10 touches in a 90mins game, simple.
I no get time to argue any other thing

Jodera:
When Messi was winning it, what him no win highest goalscorer??

Are you saying someone who's highest goalscorer can't win best player award?

When did anyone say that?
Messi wasn't just a tapin 10 touches penalty box striker was he?

Jodera:
Who won Man City player of the season 2022/23? Haaland
Who won EPL player of the season 2022/23? Halaand

All these ones you're talking is emotional talk. Anybody who watched football knows that Haaland was deservedly the best player last season... Whether home or abroad.

You can say he's not the best this season, but don't try to rubbish his effort and exploits last season just because he's underwhelming this season.

It's all shades of wrong

I haven't diminished nothing.
He was the best striker in the world last season, facts.
He wasn't and still isn't the best player in the world. That's also facts.
I hate the fact that this modern football fans thinks scoring goals makes you the best player.
How can a player that average 10 touches in 90mins in big games be the best player in the world?
That's insane....

Jodera:
All these are emotional talks

He deserved the Balon dor last season cos he was head and shoulder above everyone else.

All you guys using this season to claim he doesn't deserve Balon dor last season is very unfair. He was robbed, simple and short.

How can he deserve the Ballon when he wasn't even City's best player?
Ask any City fan, even Pep, they would pick Rodri and KDB as more influential over Haaland.
Are you one of those who think a player who scores goals automatically is the best player?

hensben:
Same person Ronaldo fans said deserve Ballon d’or. They said best player and not highest goal scorer.

He's a nonentity in big games.
It would have been a travesty if he had won the ballon d'or.
He's nowhere near the best player in the world.
Best striker? Yes.
Best player? that's laughable

Baddestguyp:
I just finished watching the movie and I must say you are a very big clôwn 🤡🤡🤡

Even if your life depended on it, you won't know a good movie when you see one....


You have 0 media literacy

You shouldn't do this. That's his own opinion and he's entitled to that. Not everyone likes the same thing as you.
Calling someone a clown for his movie choices isn't cool at all

saphiere:
I am not an advocate to of DNA because some times nurses and doctors swap people's babies at birth.

.

Another dull comment...
So if the nurses according to you swapped your babies, you wouldn't want to find out your real offspring?
How stupid is that?

EreluRoz:
May this their marriage last amen.

I don't trust this man, he will like playing games as I'm seeing him so.

Foolish comment

All these mumu Facebook posts.
No truth in them

raumdeuter:
He had no love for Bayern yet at his peak he found his way to Bayern only to get dumped 3 seasons later
Why couldnt he find the path to Bayern first team? He was not good enough
Why was he sent away 3 seasons in his peak? He was not good enough
Same story everytime, He was not good enough

But he was good enough all through his time at Bayern to be first choice.
Bayern were waiting for offers for Boateng but Boathand had no value, so as it is no offer came for Boathand so Bayern had to sell Hummels for €30m
