Tend to agree with all of this. A really dirty player who always gets away with it, and above that I just think he gets crazy high praise for a guy who never really does the business in the biggest moments.
Salah is a far better footballer. Bale was all about pace, and for having scored one of the best goals in the biggest game in club football he had a habit of ghosting in a lot of big games too. Think it’s part of the reason Madrid fans never...
His Celtic side were an embarrassment in Europe because of this. It’s all well and good being stubborn about your attacking philosophy when it’s the league and your side is better than every other side and you have more financial power. But doing...

Kane is another who doesn’t really rise to the occasion when we’re talking about the biggest of games though.
That’s not really true, because the goals actually started to dry up for him, and as I said before, I really can’t remember a sequence...
He might not have had great games but he wasn’t standing about like a very expensive lump of wood which was my point. Also have to say I don’t remember Agüero being terrible in all of those either.
And it’s hard to ignore last season too where...
