The Firmino one is laughable. Would agree on Pogba and Maguire, especially Maguire. He's shocking

Maguire is a victim of his price tag, I wouldn't bother including him in this thread as I don't think there are too many pundits or regular fans that think he is anything more than a good centre back and at the moment he isn't even that.
Dybala and Griezmann, anytime I have seen them play they haven't done anything of note.

I agree with Dybala granted I don't watch much Serie A football anymore but anytime I've seen him i've wondered what the hype is about. Griezmann was brilliant from 2016-2018 but winning the WC seems to have gone to his head and made him believe he is better then he is.

HE was fairly ever present for Bayern last year when fit, ankle injury fecked him since Feb and he was only coming back into it during Champions League. |

Why’s he still at a small club? Lack of ambition or overrated?

Shearer was another footballer who was extremely overrated.

And I'm not comparing him with Zlatan as a player (he's superior), merely saying that if you consider ZI "overrated" from his CL record, then you could apply the same to LM on his international record. I don't do either. As for ZI's club career generally, if he's such a "massive underperformer", why have so many top clubs in top leagues paid so much for him over two decades? Something to do with hundreds of goals and hundreds of games?

James McCarthy if you go by this forum alone. You'd swear he was world class....until you actually see him play.

Messi has got the Golden Ball award for best player at a World Cup and has consistently delivered for Argentina in the face of some appalling management and tactics Anyway that's irrelevant to Zlatan The point is that Zlatan has always played for teams who aspired to challenge at the business end of the Champions League and in circa 15 seasons of knockout Champions League football, he's never produced the goods in the knockout rounds For a player that is so lauded you'd think he'd have produced the goods once in that time but it never happened And that's the level at which you have to produce the goods to be considered one of the real greats Zlatan was an individualist and a stylist and capable of some sublime moments, but he was not a team player at the highest level |

Bang average. But he did play well against Sweden in 2013 in Stockholm.

Of course, his 70 goals in 138 internationals is very impressive. I mean, on a goals-per-game basis, it's nearly up with Zlatan's 62 in 116. Of course Sweden doubtless have vastly superior management and tactics, as well as vastly better teammates than Messi has to carry for Argentina.
He's hasn't had the luxury of (virtually) picking the team at arguably the best club in the world for a period, where outstanding teammates are provided to build the team around him. Which is not to detract fromn Messi, but Zlatan's stats make a solid case for saying that he was "Best of the Rest" behind Messi and Ronaldo for the best part of a decade.
Supreme ego is not incompatible with also being a fine team player - see eg Eric Cantona.

Zlatan played at Ajax, Juventus, Inter Milan, Barcelona, AC Milan, PSG, Manchester United
These are all clubs for which a really top player should be able to impose himself on the knockout stages of the Champions League
The question was: What did he do in the knockout stages of the Champions League? That's why you responded - you objected to me pointing out that he had done fook all in all his years where he had the chance to be real force at that level So what has he ever done in the knockout stages of the Champions League? What are his great moments in the knockout stages of the Champions League? |
