'Haaland's 22/23 Season Is BETTER Than Suarez's 13/14 Season' | Hot Takes

[@sharky]

Listening to this now and judging a player on whether he’s had a ‘big moment’ like scoring in a final is the most ridiculous thing to me. An iconic moment makes you a hero, an icon etc but it doesn’t make you any better of a player. De Bruyne has had multiple huge moments in league campaigns with big goals and assists to carry his team to wins which ultimately led to them winning titles. The ‘big moment/big game’ thing is rubbish. Ps. Harry Styles was phenomenal

I’m looking at these comments saying they’ve disrespected KDB but I have to disagree, I don’t think he’s at table 1 either. For me he still has to do more, Zidane was instrumental for winning the Euros, World Cup, Iniesta scores in the World Cup and Euros, Modric 5 UCLs and drives his team to reach a WC final, they’ve all done things a level above KDB so far. KDB has done nothing for Belgium, the golden generation. I say ‘Nothing’ meaning at least a final. By the time he retires, he might be table 1 but table 2 wi the Gerrard, Scholes, Lampard etc is fine for now, to say he’s table 1 is saying he’s a level above them, is he really a whole *level* above? No, better sure I agree but not a whole level above

That Mourinho Pep debate was so frustrating to listen to.

Oh but Mou built a foundation at Real!! Like Pep didn't do that at Bayern, Barca and will at City? That Real foundation was built on buying super duper stars and Balon D'or winners, btw. Not really a groundbreaking achievement given he won only one league title. Maybe football isn't just about winning one of games and the CL? All football fans do is talk about all the things Mou did do and Pep didn't do. Why does no one ever mentions Mou got the sack 5 times in his career? that is absurdly high. Why is Mou such a great man manager when there are so many instances where the team ended up despising him? How come Mou left Chelsea bottom half of the table with a very very good squad? Why is this Roma side poor in the Serie A? I think Mou is quality btw. Top 3 managers of my lifetime unquestionably. Just don't like the emphasis on how great he is without giving him the same treatment Pep gets.

Chelsea finished 12th, Spurs finished 8th and Liverpool had their worst season under Klopp. That shouldn't be a metric to judge who had a better season. Suarez did in fact score against 2 of the big 6 (United and Spurs). Not only did he miss 7 games, he also didn't take a single penalty that season since Gerrard took all of them. Suarez still holds the record for most Non-penalty goals in a single season (shares the record with Salah).

It’s not City’s fault that the rest or Europe is shit but end of the day, it does help. The 99 treble was more exciting bc of the difficulty and it was more memorable, some will even say that UCL final is the best final ever bc of how unlikely it was for Utd to win in such a way I don’t base it off who would win in a match or accross a 38 game tournament because it’s 2 different eras with very differenr demands for positions (GK, Fullbacks, Wingers etc.).
