no. not hot form yet. He is in good form.
He can get much better.
Had 2 of his worst games in past 5.
I am on copium right now.
He hardly even watched prime Lewy and now pretends he knows prime R9Comparing Mbappe to R9 now
Buddy is a machine of bad takes.
He's 100% basing the claim on Mou's quote.

Comparing Mbappe to R9 is like comparing Salah to Messi. There is a tenuous link in their play styles, but the difference in ability between them is stratospheric.

This is how I view it too.
Mbappe's technique is decidedly average compared to the GOATs. His only chance of climbing the ladder is if he keeps dropping big goals in major matches. The CR7 approach.
Not just two, I vividly remember three 0/10 games from him in a row.
Overall he's been good obviosuly, especially for his first season there, but damn, people would have lynched Yamal here for that streak of games. Barcaman probably would have had the rope ready.

No one is saying he's as talented as R9. The opinion is that he's the most similar player in terms of style of play in modern Football.
I'm getting snide remarks directed at me(by people with lesser ball knowledge than Speed) for a claim that I never made in the first place.
Show me where I said he's as good as R9 in terms of ability.
Zlatan is one of R9's biggest fans and even he said Mbappe reminds him of R9.

Yes it is exactly like that except the difference in ability here isn't "stratospheric". No one is saying Mbappe is as talented as R9. He's just the closest to R9 in terms of playing style and attributes in this era.

In modern football, among active footballers, yeah definitely he's the closest to R9.
But I wouldn't draw his abilities close to R9. R9 could do everything Mbappe can, vice versa is not really true. Mbappe can't run through defences like him and isn't nearly as good in 1v1.
Although I think Mbappe's technique is somewhat underrated, R9 is very dominant there as well.
