Maybe he will be able to play till he is 40 or something. I wish he wins some trophies with us. Has been nothing short of sensational.
 
How many goals did RVP have in all comps at this stage in 12/13? I have no idea of the numbers, but it feels like Zlatan has more.
RVP had 23 at this stage, and it was around this point where he went on that little goal drought. What's surprising for me is that RVP only had 4 non PL goals that season.

RVP was great that season but I thought he became a bit overrated tbh. Zlatan has been much better imo and that on a team with much less stability.
 
6.2 rating with 24 goals and 7 assists in 36 games at his age (at any age it's ridiculous). :lol:

Even though scoring goals is the main aim Football, the caftards don't rate goal scoring. They do rate someone who dribbles and has little end product. ;)
The caftards demand that if you have a goal scorer, he should be benched and replaced by a teenager.
 
My rating for him is a 7.8. :lol: at 6.2. I guess all the people who wanted us to lead with Rashford for the whole summer are still bitter.
 
Scored the winner. That's what he's in the team for. Can't argue with that. If he's anonymous in the main but gets winners for the rest of the season that's fine.
 
His rating is 6.2 because it's all relative. I don't think anyone has higher than 7 and his rating is one of the highest which means the Caf rates him as one of the best players in the team this season- which he has been.

tbf i would say i'm one of zlatans biggest fans and think he is by far out most important player. my average on him is also 6.3

i think when he "only" scores a goal and the rest of them game is average people give him about 6-7 wich is fair enough. how many games did he had where you just thought "wow what an amazing game"? cant think of many if any. but that said the same applies to everyone on the team

Yeah but still - Shaw has 6.1. How is it possible to have .1 difference between our most and least important players this season? I've got Luke at 5.6 and Zlatan at 6.6.

Truth is, the average ratings are a bit rubbish, for the most part.

No way we would've won the title without him. All the praise he got that season was justified. When I look back at that season I remember how RVP won us the title almost single-handedly.
 
Basically a 7 as an average rating is basically a 10. People rate performances differently. For instance, if Zlatan scores an important goal and does not much else I'd give him a 7. Some people might give him a 6, some maybe a 9. Had Ibra not missed all those chances earlier this season, he'd be around a 6.8 for sure.

I can't believe my average is only 5.9 though :wenger:
 
hes great, even after next season I can see him being valuable as a squad option at 37, if he still wants to stay of course

We finished level on points with City the year before without him. Obviously he had a great season for us and was a big contributor to us winning the title, but I never bought the idea he carried us there single-handedly.
 
Zlatan has now scored in all 5 competitions this season (I am including Community Shield here).
 
Is there any other player in history of football that was on his level at that age? Or that kept getting better up until age 33-34. Cant think of anyone. Maybe Zidane?

Cause Shaw hasn't played since the start of the season. Ratings/general optimism is a lot higher at the start of the season irrespective of performances. See, the overrating of Darmian and Memphis at the start of last season.
 
BT comm said he has now scored in 7 countries in cups. I count 6. Sweden, Holland, Italy, Spain, France, England. What am I missing?

Ian Darke said that, my dog knows more about football. He talks shit.
 
This guy is unbelievable. Has a 35 year old ever hit 30+ goals playing in the top division in England? You must have to go back decades if at all.

Sheringham hit 21 for us when he was 33/34 I think, and he won Player of the Season on the back of that.

Am I being unreasonable when I think that he's not at his best still and could have scored a load more? Amazing when you think of his performances and contributions thus far.

It's scary but when he starts banging them in from distance his numbers will go through the stratosphere.

What a fecking phenomenal freak!
 
What a finish, but also, what a run.

I was all for signing him, but even the most optimistic of us couldn't have dreamt this up. Guy is just all round world class, even at 35 ffs.
 
At the start of the season a lot of people didn't even think he'd get 10 goals.
 
I said he'd hit 30 in all comps, but I think he'll be closer to 35 now.

I think it's fair to say he should have scored more, especially during Oct-Nov and he can play even better. But to claim (as others have) that other strikers would be better or scoring more if they were here is crazy talk for me, he's been sensational & is the best in the league for me.

If we can keep him for another year I expect him to be even better which is a mental thing to say about someone his age.

A freak and a great advert for looking after your body.

Yeah, could be.
 
I expected less goals but a few more amazing ones if that makes sense. I much rather this :)
