27 goals for the league in January is clearly the mark of a world player of the year

8 or 9 penalties included?

Just saying he's having a lot of Pipo Inzaghi type performances lately where he's ultimately useless then served up a goal on a platter.
 
I'd be surprised if him parting ways with Irina didn't reflect on his form. Looks out of form right now.
 
you really need to watch those games again

It's been a while, but the game against Bosnia I seem to remember he was fairly average until he scored a great goal.

The point is you don't score as many as Ronaldo and not deserve the Ballon D'Or.
 
that's right

but not a tap in, wich was Snake Plissken's point

A crap point to be fair. As if players of the year (Messi, L Ronaldo and others) never had an average game after winning the award.

Unless half of them are penalties and/or the 5th and 6th goals in an 8 nil rout :lol:
 
4th of 2015. 38th in all competitions. 28th in la liga.

You do know he was on the sideline when he passed the ball in, and sprinted 40 yards to get into position? It's not like he was sitting round the penalty spot waiting for the ball.

Far from being useless. Average i would call it. It's impossible to mantain top class performances during all the year. No player does that. Still two goals and neither were penalties.

attacking player in getting into the penalty box shocker. You'll find non league players will do the same mate. It's hardly worthy of singling out for praise getting in the area when you're in a great position :lol:

the thing is that ronaldo is not only about goals, its about skills

but players scored as much or more than ronaldo and didnt get the ballon d'or

like gerd muller in 1972

you don't need statistics to know that Cantona was better than Van Nisterlrooy, do you?

Average is being generous, he's just given it away all game and taken two simple chances. You still have to be a quality player to get those ones, but at the end of the day it's two unmarked chances from close range, and regardless of that his all round game in the last handful of games has been poor.

I just like to highlight it because I know how much it bothers people :lol:
 
It's not as if I don't know he's going to end up on the scoresheet in practically every game. With his quality and service like that he'd have to bomb hard not to.

Sorry for the comment but...you are embarassing yourself with your small time comments in that thread. Messi may be the beter player, I think that he Is the better player, but give Ronaldo the credit he deserves, don't be so dismissive.

Why would it bother anyone? As long as he keeps up his scoring rate it's all good.

That's your opinion. And it doesn't bother me, i just like to counter. This is what forums are for. I only get bothered about Sporting as seen in my posts arguing about the Rojo affair.

Having read your comments on that R9 vs CR7 thread you made it pretty clear your knowledge of football is either very limited or doesn't extend beyond the last 7 or 8 years, so just sit down son.
 
Guys remember this is a Ronaldo thread, so less discussion on how he is playing in the game right now and more comparisons to Messi or general rehashed rubbish please.
 
But but but some of them were penelties or tap ins....that that doesnt count


/idiotmode

It's insane. The primary objective of football is to put the ball in the net - it means feck all if it is a penalty, tap in, or a solo effort from 50 yards. They all count the same.

I know it doesnt mate. But I can imagine guys like treble seething behind his keyboard :lol:

I mean I'm not winding him up. I genuinely think he's played another poor game and been fortunate to get some brilliant service. But admittedly I do draw attention to it for a bit of fun. That's all this is after all.

Yet somehow, the likes of players at United cannot seem to do it? He plays shit, scores two goals. Not many players can do that in the world at a top level, but do continue to discredit him, it's quite amusing.

Really? Falcao didn't get into good positions? The problem at United is you don't have the fluidity of their team and you don't have an abundance of creative talent like your Modric's, Bale's and Benzema's.

Dry your eyes it's only a bit of fun and he's not a United player anymore so it's not as if you have to protect him like your first born.

Or stop making stupid, obviously inflammatory posts and then getting upset when people call you out on it.

Only one of them was outright stupid and set out as nothing more than bait, the general point of the others was fair imo. Feel free to counter it.

I'm not upset at being called out on anything either so I think you're imagining things.

It's that easy, which is why Lewandowski is sitting on double as many goals.

over a guy that scores taps ins and penalties and the 5th goal of a 5 0 game i rather have a player that scores goals out of nothing and the 1st goal of every game or the winning goal

to say what you did is disregard how much important is the first goal over the 7th goal
 
No point debating about best player in the world/ever as it never gets anywehre but surely we can agree he is the most clinical and best finisher of all time?

I was talking about the type of goal - not the numerical order.
