Of course it matters how the goals are scored, if someone scores 30 1 yard tap ins and one season, it doesn't mean they're a top quality striker. Context is surely very important when judging a players talent and what they can consistently offer in the future. I just can't get my head around the black and white thinking in football. It just leads to the ridiculously fickle opinions you see week in week out. The one that annoyed me the most was the people that ironically said "All yakubu does is score goals" haha. Aye, what really helps a teams all round game is some lazy lump that makes it feel like you're playing the game with 10 men 99% of the time he's on the pitch. All of what I said has nothing to with Daka as I've already seen Daka score plenty of different goals and have every confidence he's a player that can go on to have a very decent career in the top european leagues. I just had to get that off my chest as I see people spouting stuff like this all the time, like it's some genius piece of thinking and the people that like applying context are the idiots. Not really aimed at you either as I'm pretty sure you just love playing devils advocate and offering the contrary opinion on any matter haha edit No idea how this ended up in this thread, but whatever…. It’s a “devil’s advocate off”….and it’s live!! Seriously, I think we may be talking at cross purposes, yes it matters but not critically to results, more aesthetically and I am not sure about the bit in bold, that makes them a great striker surely? Their movement, positioning, anticipation must be top class. Edited 31 December 2022 by Dahnsouff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fuchsntf Posted 31 December 2022 Share Posted 31 December 2022 Refs are trying to be too clever,and don't referee the game as it is... Biggest example is every corner kick. Refs should give 5-7 penalties... But rugby tackles ( holding not allowed in any European team sport) seems the modern way, plus pundits,commentators,managers (some fans) think, "well part of the game". IT AINT..!! Basta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't understand why the previous manager didn't fancy playing him....the guys a beast! Adama Traore is football’s version of LeBron James…if LeBron couldn’t even make a layup, that is.

taupe Posted 31 December 2022 Share Posted 31 December 2022 (edited) I have to admit, I can enjoy watching Man City; the skills, movement and passing are pretty darned impressive. Haaland will get a truck load this season on the back of it. Edited 31 December 2022 by taupe spelling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
