I will give credit where it is due, his first year at Real Madrid was great and this season, he is coming into form after a slow start. However, I have seen him against good teams make countless mistakes whether it is giving the ball away at key moments, missing goals that could have tied or made it a close match (like against Barcelona), or get juked/shaken up on defense (like against Liverpool when he tried to tackle Darwin Nunez, same as against Pedri when playing Barca).

It is almost like when he plays bad, they make every excuse they can:

• Oh look at his work rate
• Oh he is just in the wrong position that's all
• Oh he is doing well like everywhere else

But when he plays decent to good, they are immediately calling him the GOAT.

In recent history, I cannot think of any player that was as pushed onto us as him.

I have no idea how this man has done this for us

I find it quite odd that he has such a player at his disposal and yet chooses not to involve him

He's already got 82 caps for Morocco, and he's only recently turned 26. For context, only 17 England players have more than that

Used to watch a lot of football as a kid like 20-30 years ago but been largely out of touch since then. Back in the day Roberto Carlos, Ronaldo, Ronaldinho were my heros and the team just seemed like an unstoppable force of nature. Recently started watching some recent world cup highlights... And the recent team just doesn't seem to be quite at the same level and I'm not sure if it's just my perception or facts? (Obviously Neymar's a beast, and the team is still really good)
