Kylian Mbappé

El Gato

Villarato!
Nah Haaland is a 9 that makes some plays. Salah a wide forward that also makes some plays for most part

Neither have as much disproportionate burden of making plays for their team as Vini had in past 5 years
Far more playmaking burden than likes of Ribery who had an equivalent player on the opposite wing most seasons

And not pinging a pass into the right place is as much a function of having a target as it is being able to do it.
Vinis targets so far were a 34 year old pass-first striker and now an LF who likes to ball hog as much as he is told to
Messi's we're some of the best 9s of this millennium
Tell me more how much he's unable to pick an incisive ball compared to Hazard who played #2 almost every winning season in England

You did not just put Haaland and Salah in the same sentence in terms of all round play! 😂

I am always willing to admit if I am hasty, Gato, and I already conceded some ground with saying I maybe overrated Salah as a playmaker, and was harsh calling Vini one dimensional. I relented to a degree.

But now you are getting greedy and want me to admit that Vini is a playmaker extraordinaire. You are adamant about it, and keep making big posts trying to prove it. I don't agree, and never will unless he becomes an actual elite playmaker. Other guys disagree with you here too.

We are never gonna agree on the extent of Vinicius's playmaking ability, Gato, so we will just end it there. I respect what you think, though.

Game's gone! :lol:


Come on! That's not a yellow. It's a hard shoulder barge. Mbappe didn't even complain.
It's not about the shoulder barge it's about it being anti-jeu shoulder barge. The ball was far from both. If that's the norm then nobody makes a run anymore like rugby, everybody tackles everybody off ball.

What if it's just Maradona37 with 50 accounts running this forum? Now that's a great psychological thriller plot.

Mbappe has not been top level post World Cup. It’s been basically two years where his reputation precedes him and the current player is much different.

He actually looks shot of all confidence, gets caught offside really easily and just goes through the motions in games. Currently no defenders fear him whatsoever.

He had his best club season last year.
