The other games today - 2008/09


Recommended Posts

He scores goals and has an extremely good games to goals ratio. In the elite.

 

He might not affect games too much but he scores plenty. A bit like Owen.

 

That's where i think you're wrong. Hes definetely not the goalscoring type,hes been banging them in but he provides more to the team than only goals. His assist ratio is great, his vision is absolutely fantastic.

 

I agree, Zlatan is nothing like Owen. His technique, control and touch is far superior. He offers far more outside the box as well.

 

Erm, I didn't say anything about Owen being like him in terms of quality, I said he can be ineffective, and as I posted above I meant to say only sometimes.

 

The Owen comparison was a mistake though, just wanted to compare him to a Newcastle player and he was the first one that came to mind.

Fair enough  :thup:

 

Another chance goes wide.

I don't like Zlatan but to state that you don't rate him is strange. Zlatan is a great player and probably best striker right now. Just look at him right now, look at his movement and look at his ability to hold up the ball, problem is there is no one out there who can provide some backing. Look at his header that hit the crossbar, he used a great technique.

'

Hes just to isolated.

 

I see where you're coming from with his hold up play etc, but surely to be the best striker you do have to score alot of goals. I appreciate he can be a quality player without scoring, but when a strikers main objective is to score, and that striker doesnt do that enough, he can't be considered the best.

 

Also, to use that header to back up your point is strange, a ''top class striker'' should score there every single time.

 

Then you won't find many top class strikers my friend. name one except Henry and Ronaldo a couple of years ago who scores every single time. Did you see his ball to Stankovic.

 

Come on i dont like him, but as a player you cant deny he's one of the best strikers around right now.

Either way , watching Zlatan play, he does have one of the best close controls I've ever seen, he brings the ball down every time with ease.

I love watching Zanetti, but seriously except him no one is even trying to support Zlatan. Wouldn't surprise me if Vieira goes out for Adriano or Figo in halftime. They need to score and Jose knows that.

What i meant was, to use that header as a case for why he's a quality striker is a bit off because, really it was a sitter and he missed it, but i can see what you mean though.

 

Was a quality ball to Stankovic, i have noticed more in this game his little touches and balls have been good, but the one time i've seen him in front of goal he should've scored.

 

To be fair like i say, ive only seen him on a few european games so maybe i am being really really ignorant to him here.

Inter finally getting into it. Its a really even game now and I'm loving it. Got some notes from the game...

 

Giggs needs to shoot, he seems scarred to.

 

Zlatan has amazing control

 

Zanetti still has it

 

Viera is useless

 

That Santon fella looks like he'll have an amazing future, as does Ballotelli(sp?) although he needs to put in some better set pieces.

Balotelli constantly looks average when I see him.
