Ronaldo is also a very tall striker and has a good leap too. Ronaldo is not 5ft9 like Lisandro.
Lisandro and Messi are the type that stay in front of the line in school assembly
Ronaldo is only 5 inches taller than Lisandro.

That’s the length of a finger. It makes no difference.

Heading the ball is about positioning and timing.

Among the top 11 on your screenshot, How many of them were below 6ft?
Why is anyone below 6ft even on the list if heading the ball is about height?

A shorter man who has extreme leap power can outjump a taller person. Just like a strong woman with high testosterone and strenght can win a men boxing match.

How often does this happen?

In the list you posted how many under 6ft attackers are there? when the hundreds of below 6ft attackers litter the game

For EPL records
This is Crouch

Any reason Michael Owen and Aguero didnt make it despite scoring more EPL goals overall than Crouch
Cahill = 5ft 10
Crouch = 6ft 7

Cahill still cannibalized Crouch to score a header.

He played for sides who barely attacked and spent most of the time defending like Stoke Burnley Portsmouth

If you are the best header and only 1 cross come into the box all game. What can you do
Someone that played for a-long-ball-system Liverpool grin

Nobody said he was the best defender in the world..
. He would have off days normally.

Mitrovic will use him and shine yes..

But he would always keep on fighting..


If dey convert him to a midfielder I'm sure he can be our kante
Sure!!

The only problem is that Fred is not the standard so, he can be 100 times better than Fred but still he isn't good enough. I can't believe I once fell for his agidi football...

McTom and Lingard are proper frauds, they'll play rubbish for the entirety of a game but you will hardly notice because you'd see them everywhere on the pitch pretending to be doing something but in reality, they're doing nothing...When they play a nice pass or have a good shot, they'd put on an expression that gets you because they know the camera will be on them...I have studied those guys well...

Not taking away from Martial but there's nothing special about that assist. It was even late.

Ronaldo would conveniently give that. He would even put Rashford in a very comfortable position.


Go and watch all Ronaldo's assists since he came back especially the one he gave Cavani against Tottenham last season.
Ok.

They are coming for you. I honestly don’t know what else they want from the family. They sign top managers available and back them. I guess fans’ issue is the small money they take out annually. But what’s their business with the 10-20m money they receive annually after they’ve spent over a billion on transfers in a decade?

the fans are not hating dem because of the bad patches we're experiencing, we've been hating on dem from the beginning of time, the take over procedure 17 years ago didn't sit well with the fan base, to the extent that some section of the fan base left the team and created another club, they borrowed money to procure the club and put the debt on d club, meaning the glazers have own man utd for 17 years, a dime of their own money has not gone into the club, the club has been self sustained and still paying debt we knew nothing about, even when we were winning trophies, the green and gold scarf has always symbolise the end of dem glazers, as far back as 2007, Beckham once use the scarf

They are parasites, the own d club but the don't invest instead take dividends and still force us to pay debt, we've paid roughly 2.5b yet we still owe 600m,any money u see man u spend bro, ńa man u get ham, dem no give us shishi

If a business is self sustaining by sorting out its operating expenses, capital expenses (re:transfers etc.), and servicing it’s debt on time, why should shareholders put in more money?

Man Utd is a successful enterprise, no need to waste funds, moreso, debt is good for every business as long as it’s at an optimal level.

they've spent, but they've not been shrewd with the resources, ask yourself what has our recruitment plans been in d last 10 years? what style of play has the team Implemented after ferge left? it's not all about spending, wetin we dey spend on? look at our youth system, the state of old trafford and a lot of things, bro, them no try at all

our stocks haven't been doing well in recent years, read it somewhere that if you'd invested £1000 in man utd when we first join the NYSE, it would worth less now, compare to some other clubs in the WhatsApp group, the bottom line is this, they appointed wrong folks and spend money on wild goose chase

they're beyond redemption, they need to leave, the club has prolly existed before the first glazer self

Well, the question is, how do you have a recruitment strategy when every manager has got his own style? Also, if they buy for the club (based on a strategy) and not for the manager, you guys will still complain that they are not backing the manager. Finally, the point around having ‘footballing’ people at the top does not make sense. David Gill was an accountant before he joined Utd as a director and then CEO. Also, how many clubs have football people as directors and CEOs.

What’s wrong with our youth system and Old Trafford? As for the latter, maintenance happens annually. So what else? Renovations? yes, it happens once in 3-5 years which is normal. Maintenance and renovation are two different things.

There is no excuse abeg. It’s a narrative that was developed by the British fans and media, and it has become an anthem on every lips because many don’t understand how these things work.

Stock price not moving in years is not a new thing. That’s why dividends must be paid to the shareholders. It’s a good investment for insurance, pension and some mutual funds. They need stocks that are less risky and will provide current income/dividends.

Debt is not necessarily a bad thing, so long as the company can service it. Some companies keep huge debt profile to lower their taxes returns, this is how many business owners evade paying higher taxes. I want to believe this is also what the Glaziers are doing...

That said; #GlaziersOut

United need a sugar daddy that would push more funds into the club, for players signing, Stadium upgrading and other stuff.

And taller people do not have this timing and positioning? or its only for short people?

This is the list of players who have scored the most headed goals. Point how many of them are below 6ft. How come Messi and Aguero are not there? Is it that they dont have timing and positioning
View it like this. Blind people compensate for their blindness with a very sharp and acute sense of hearing and sensitive touch.
Someone that is not blind will not have that extra sensitivity.

A short CB who has been playing that position for year, would not have made it this far in his career, if he didn't compensate for that disadvantage by having excellent jump power, good sense of positioning to snuff out danger and great awareness.

That is why over the years, these so called "Short" CBs are usually fast, agile and usually have good awarenesses of the dangers in their surrounding. The likes of Mascherano, cannavaro et al, usually have this traits in common. It's nature's way of complementing for that short coming.

So smart people should know by now that height should not be a thing of concern

Van Dijk is being unfairly criticized.

The entire Liverpool structure had fallen apart when Trent allowed Elanga to run behind and put the cross.

VVD was literally caught between standing his ground to block the shot or charging towards Sancho.

He didn’t know Alisson had dived behind him and if he had charged at Sancho, Sancho would have passed to Bruno to tap into the empty net.
