Only because they flog him and he plays every fecking minute of every game because they cannot cope without him. Or Brenton is worried he'll demand a transfer if he gets subbed.

We have showed we aren't a one man team, thats why and they still havent. I am surprised he isnt burned out already with the amount of games he has been playing.
Well, this isn't exactly the time. We're gonna need him on Tuesday.
In terms of the PL there's not that much difference
Suarez - 2415 minutes
RVP - 2223 minutes
Just over the equivalent of 2 games
Hasn't suarez scored against City, Everton, Chelsea and Arse this season?
Not just in terms of minutes played but contributions from other players in their respective teams. I meant they are way more dependent on Suarez than we are on RVP. Liverpool would be a far worse condition if Suarez wasnt contributing as much than if RVP wasnt for us. What do we have, like 20 different scorers or something this season? How many do they have? Thats why I said we are not a one man team.
Sorry if this has been posted. I'm in tears.
Im not a big fan of this particular stat, but RVP is directly involved in something like 20 points for us. Suarez isnt even close to that for Liverpool - his goals have yielded them around 10 points. Even adjusting for our respective point tallies hes responsible for a smaller percentage of their points.
We arent a one man team but its just as incorrect to claim that they are.
And we are in 3 competitions. Players can't afford to go every game all guns blazing, knowing that there are an important FA cup or CL game in another 3 days. Just like Norwich game, an easy game to get a goal or two if van Persie would have played for 90 min. but had to be withdrawn with one eye on the R. Madrid game.
He will score against Real
If he doesn't, I blame you.
Little article from Marca here. Bolded the interesting parts.
RVP signed for us to play in this kind of great games...he will score tomorrow!
Hope he scores but also we need him to play at a similar level to what he did at the bernabeau. The outlet he provided us was fantastic.
I have a feeling that it will be a "RVP special" tonight 
No chance he'll miss similar chances to the first leg. If he gets the time/space he'll bury one - I bet that one cleared off the line has been haunting him to some degree.
he's on by his standards a goal drought!
What better way to end that than tonight.
4hours 20 to go...can't wait.

I have this bad feeling that he'll miss important chances again
He's due a goal and he'll be wanting to make up for the first leg. He's going to score tonight.
R.V.P is better than he used to be,
Madrid's hopes are over,
United are closer,
We're ready for ya.

2-1 to United, all three goals scored by RVP. Heard it here first...
Oh, Robin van Persie,
you are not good as Bestie,
but you're still better than Sheasy.
I'm shit at this.

He missed a great chance but he was superb otherwise in the first leg.
I signed up for Skybet earlier for their free £10 bet. I was going to put it on Madrid at 4/5 so I get "something" whatever the out come but thought "nah, £10.50 is no compensation" so put it on Ronaldo FGS, United to win 3-1 at 115-1
I dunno why Marca are talking about RVP because everyone knows his qualities. I think Welbeck was even better up until he had to go off
Striker, can you please make some comments on the Decline of FC Barca. I would love to hear your perspective.
lol decline. I said in that thread they lost their coach. It's a transition not a decline. If losing 2/3 games to Madrid and Milan equals decline then some people don't know what they're talking about. They want to know what decline is? Look at Liverpool.One year they were challenging us. We said it at the time. If they feck up, they'll go backwards and they have. If we were playing Barcelona tonight? It would be just as hard a game, probably even harder so I dunno where this talk comes from
Goals apart that was a fantastic display for a forward away from home.
Striker10 is back

You can say that again!
Why's he not connecting with his LEFT foot?
Need more from RVP. Remember Robin, you're not at Arsenal any more. That means your choking days are over.

Around 1000 times.
Confidence ? That volley from Giggs' cross although not easy, I expected him to do better because he's so skillful
I just told my gooner mate the same thing. Seems he still has some arsenal in him. Lets hope he proves us wrong.
Doesn't feel like he proved us wrong. Did feck all today.
Disappointed for him. Had a good opportunity to score but Diego Lopez was a fecking wall tonight. Also, he was quite isolated (again) and had very little to work with. Not to mention, he looks knackered.
Upwards and onwards.
Upwards and onwards.
Nice hat-trick of fecking up his team's chances in Europe.
Piss off. He is still winning us the league.
