Going back to the point I made earlier, you have to agree surely that he is virtually non-existent in "big four" games or Quarter Finals and above stages of the Champions league?

not in the same leauge anymore

Justify it? Some people look beyond him becasue he isnt flash. Still got it

Finished third behind Drogba and Ronaldo in PFA last year. Ahead of Fabregas and a certain Gerrard.

Saying he isn't in the same league as them is ignorance im afraid.

So thats means he isn't the best player in the world? Who's your choice then Joe?

I think you would do very well if you went into a career where you labelled things Tom.

How ever I base my opinion not on his passing or technical abilities as they are excellent. However his tackling, tempermant, and ability to control a game and win it on his own is not in the same leauge as the ones I mentioned. Anyway lets get back on point. If you wish to discuss Paul start a thread.

In your opinion would some be right?

He goes missing against the big teams more often than not I'd say e.g. against Liverpool earlier in the season

Still, he's a quality player.

At the moment, I honestly don't know. I don't see enough of other league's football and Champions League games aren't often enough for me to justify a decision.

But it's easy to say Ronaldo is the best in the world because he plays in the English Premier League and we all see it every week.

And in a way, yes I'd agree that Ronaldo isn't the best in the world because he can't always compete with the best. Now that's what really seperates the best from the rest for me.

Firstly - what the hell are you on about in bold?

Secondly I didnt realise it was a rule Mr Kilworth that you couldn't go off topic in a thread on this forum - because THAT never happens does it? :doh:

I was just alarmed that you didn't mention in your little list arguably the third best player in the best league in the world.

So Tevez's temprement and tackling are top notch are they, he was on that list I believe.

Your posts are contradictory and lack any point

In bold you figure it out if your clever enough.

I was picking out an individuals weaknesses (which you have failed to defend) not a standard of which must be attained to be considered world class in my eyes.

So basically your saying he isn't in the same league as those players because of his weaknesses then? Calling me 'not clever enough' is boring and weak. What do you do then Einstein?

Your posts are confusing, thats why I don't understand. :rolleyes:

Awesome player and so consistent. He always had ability but he's honed that to a point where he tries to make something happen with almost every pass he gets.

One within 35 yards of goal he either takes people on and shoots, takes people on and pinpoints a pass or simply attempts a killer final pass.

There's never any thought of passing the responsibility to someone else.

And with that attitude and the number of shots he gets in, he'll either score a cracker, a grubber or he'll get lucky with a mistake or deflection but something will happen.

If only the game had more such players or even tried to encourage them.

I never called you not clever. If it is so boring why do you insist on retorting? My name is also Tom not Einstein, I assume that you are suggesting that I have some wonderful job where you needed to work for NASA or some great equivalent where a high level of brain power is essential? If so that is not the case. I am a salesman. What do you do? I guessed at some kind of labelling job earlier as you manage to label me so aptly!

I await in a state of readiness to be alert to your witty reply :dance:

**** me, I come home, stick the game on Sky+ and i'm sitting here stunned after 15 minutes.

The boy is ****ing ridiculous.

Joe, he is without doubt the most in form player in the world right now, by some distance.

And personally, yes I think he is now the best in the world.

The free kick - Oh my. I'd go as far as saying his free kicks are equal to Beckham's back in the day, at least.

And I wouldn't dispute that really. But I'm still not convinced he's the best yet. I'd personally like to see how he performs in the next lot of Champions League games before I come to any kind of decision.

Thats mental.

Gerrard scores goals? I can't be arsed to trawl throught stats, but I would expect Ronalso scored double than gerrard last year in al competitions.

You mention set pieces - Ronaldo is better?

Ronaldo is un-playable, is Gerrard?

Gerrard has a few good games then goes missing for half a dozen? Ronaldo is in top form week in week out.

I don't buy this whole ''Gerrard carries Liverpool'' crap. Has Ronaldo had the opportunity to play in a side that Gerrard has played in, in that situation? No. Torres will do that for Liverpool this season.

Ronaldo is unquestionably the best player in the world, anyone who disagree's is deluded or doesn't watch him play/watch football. Gerrard doesnt have that 'get off your seat' factor that Ronaldo has.

Ronaldo, then Kaka, then I don't know. Gerrard wouldn't be in my top 5 though that's for sure.

A great post to be fair... By going on current form you are spot on, Ronaldo has been very consistant for two seasons now... And the most frighting part is that he could get better!!

I really dont buy into the Gerrard story either, dont get me wrong a fantastic footballer but id rather pay to watch Ronaldo and Kaka. I would have said Ronaldinho was the best if we were back in 2005 but he has lost his form big time!!

A midfielder to score the amount of goals and the range of goals that Ronaldo has scored this season is amazing!!

Hats off to Ronaldo... all hail the "kid"!!

Gutted, Before the game I looked at the odds of a Man Utd 2-0 and Ronaldo scoring first but it was only 14/1 so I thought, "Ah not worth it"....Feckin worth it now ain't it!

I've gotta stop looking for such good odds...maybe just maybe I might win abit more, I'll get less winning but more wins = Probably more combined winnings.
