Karim Benzema

Vini is going to conjure a goal outta nowhere against Liverpool anyway.

 

[Morten]

If he's not there, Liverpool have serious chances of a comeback

Benz is 70% of RM's attack in the CL

As for the Clasico, we were gonna beat you lot with or without him, as always

You are quite cocky, did you forget you went two whole seasons without a win against us not long ago?

Barca has 22 wins v RM since Pep took over, which is probably more than all the wins other teams have combined v RM in CL KOs in the same time period

DISASTERCLASS by the Algerian Pedo.


Great nutmeg on Gavi though, but then the bloke is used to screwing underaged subjects.....

 

[Richard.H]

Not been good this season but he is getting up there in age

 

[Andresito]

Did he play?

 

[Morten]

Showed up in UCL-games, if he can do that a few more times then its okay, he is too old to show up consistently anymore.

I use to fear him a lot in past classico's because his mobility and quick thinking use to give us a lot of issues even if his finishing was off, the guy was a menace.

These days we've isolated him enough that he is really struggling against Kounde-Christensen as those two have done an excellent job keeping him at bay. Usually it forces him to go deep and try and link up with Vini to avoid trying to go up against those two.

That and he's really slow now. Doesn't have the pace to beat our CBs either.

Barca set up with a very high, aggressive defending line. He doesn't move enough nor is fast or strong enough to do much against that without help.

Physically he's almost completely done by looks of it, getting injured almost every game and can't do anything without ball to feet.

Would a peak CR7 isolated against those 2 CBs worry you?

Even if he wasn't a pure #9 he would have been still dangerous as at his peak the guy was good in the air, his positioning to get into goal scoring range was top tier and he was also had the Physicality.

He would have given us a much more difficult time.

No. Because he wouldnt do shit.

The thing is he'll turn up in CL and make all forget the season

Hes literally had one great year, others mostly moment based when not serving a better scorer

Really don't understand the logic behind extending him till 2024 when signing Kane on 3-4 year contract is surely a better trade off

Kane most likely not an option as he wants number 1 spot on PL all time score list.

Wait a minute! YOU are saying this about him? Wow! Unexpected to say the least.
