  1. Bernardo Silva | Man City Player

    It seems like "much ado about nothing", in a way due to cultural differences and mostly due to the extreme magnifying glass that football is. Lets be real, things get enlarged and exagurated far more in the world of football because it's all "part of the drama". Blackface is just wrong and...
  2. Is Neymar's star fading?

    I'm not going to answer for youre perception of Belgian fans, i disagree that Brazil was better than Belgium in that semi final. The crucial man in the clash of philosophy that is Belgian and Brazilian football is the position of the keeper. Belgium has had decades of poverty in the attack but...
  3. What happened to creating a style of play?

    Imho managers like Guardiola and Klopp just don't sign for any random team that can throw the money, they also look at the players they have and if that fits their purpose, so usually it only requires few transfers for them to mould the team to what they prefer. City was fit for Pep, iirc even...
  4. Is Neymar's star fading?

    Fair enough like i say i don't see much of his matches and what i see from him sometimes akes him more to some type of popstar image. Just consider my perspective that of the casual occasional football viewer that afcourse tunes in especially during World cups to get the measure of players. ;)
  5. Is Neymar's star fading?

    I take a guideline in regards to "when it really matters", and this guideline as for a comparison between Hazard and Neymar for me came during the last world cup. It imho showed that Neymar lacked the relative level of dedication and profesionalism that Hazard has to surpass him in terms of...
  6. Is Neymar's star fading?

    Neymar's talent is withought question. His maturity and mentality is questionable. Last time i saw Neymar i almost had him mistaken for Justin Bieber to be fair. Popstar mentallity. Just more drama and theater on and off the pitch with him. People just don't like whiners that much, a less...
  7. Position based football!

    It's basicly a matter of attributes and combinations of attributes where some attributes can be said to mostly function on certain positions. There are obvious ones and less obvious ones, but i can take a Football manager sheet of about any player and run trough the attributes to review what...
  8. Romelu Lukaku | 2018/19 Performances

    I don't give a toss about attention. This is not about my own sense of worth. It's simply about being not limited anymore by a 10 post limit that i have to endure for months already. Many times by noon i cannot follow up anymore on discussions i'm engaged in because of the post limit. I have 1...
  9. Romelu Lukaku | 2018/19 Performances

    When a forum thinks that it needs to restrict poster access depending on the amount of likes they get even over a long period then i do feel that it's sad if that system would not promote more substantiated posts. It feels like there is no use to try to build a quality argument here that would...
  10. Romelu Lukaku | 2018/19 Performances

    Yup. i don't feel that not getting a like motivates me further to put some effort and research in forming a well constructed argument. And then thats likely fair, it's not like i argued against it anyway, rather i was arguing against a too easy dismissal of stats. Again i didn't say that...
  11. Romelu Lukaku | 2018/19 Performances

    No i'm not, show me where my posts would argue that statistics are the end all of it. And i quote myself: The only difference is that arguments made "from the eyes of the beholder" usually need support from several people to actually be reasonably confirmed, whereas stats offer a objevtive...
  12. Romelu Lukaku | 2018/19 Performances

    And? It's not because stats dont tell you everything that they mean nothing. In fact i'm starting to suspect that a number of posters are far too lazy to ever back their oppinions up with anything that they practicly take offense to stats since it might push them to put more work in their...
  13. Romelu Lukaku | 2018/19 Performances

    Wut? I compare him to other top srikers in the league, i think it's bloody normal to compare strikers to strikers. Yes, the stats do reflect that he has missed a lot of big chances already this year, as i also mentioned. Again, i think that it's only reasonable to compare strikers to...
  14. Romelu Lukaku | 2018/19 Performances

    Personally i find it sad that i don't get a like from this community for my work of gathering and comparing those statistics. Now who the frack told you that you had to look at the game only trough the lens of statistics? I mean newsflash statistics don't say everything. On the other hand they...
  15. Manchester City - "Emptihad"

    I'm not saying i rate Wiki highly, i'm saying it's stupid to criticise a source that proves correct. It's always up to the scrutiny of the individual to make sure his sources are correct, not to act upon the reputation of the source nessecarily. Well, you tell me what link i should follow. Yes...
