We drew with Liverpool last season at the Emirates, this year we beat them. The results will balance themselves out... we are a better outfit now so hopefully we can even improve on last seasons points tally.
Ronaldo the ****er is a machine, and it looks like has seen off Messi for the season in terms of goals.
Cristiano Ronaldo is the ultimate footballer. If we could get our hands on his DNA we could clone 4 of him he earns 21 million euros a year !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's really a miracle how all these players get injured before friendlies. The thing is though, is that they are medically checked before the game and proof is given that they can't make it, you can't just say I don't feel good bye, they give certified medical proof that you're not fit, which makes me wonder how they get that medical certification? Either there's a lot of deceit going on, or when they have similar small knocks before a big international game, they just tend to overlook it.
Messi is still better than Ronaldo....Don't forget, when Messi was (and he still is) running the show at Barca, he helped them win trebles, European trophies etc, Ronaldo has yet to do that with Madrid, sure he scores a lot of goals, but for the most part, he hasn't driven them anywhere near the success that Messi has with Barca. The only reason Ronaldo may seem better than Messi right now is because Messi is going through injuries, other than that, when Messi is on the pitch, their goal scoring form is still pretty much the same.
Erikson is out for a month for the spuds. I would say that this should weaken them, but they have been so toothless that I doubt it will make much of a difference. Despite the obscene amount of money they spent in the summer on attacking players, they have the worst conversion rate of shot to goals in the PL
Capoue's looked alright for them, Lamela too when Boas actually plays him. Soldildo and Eriksen have looked shabby though.
