SiJ Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 He's a current player, but DCL has to be worth a shout. Had one decent season during COVID times, always injured, misses easy chances, breaks down again, is out for 6-months. And yet people talking about him like he's a top striker.

Did anyone of you actually watch him consistently? 2014-2017 Neymar with Suarez & Messi was a joy to watch Like a lot of non PL based players, I think people just judge him on appearances at World Cups or possibly in the Champions League. Also, like a lot of players, because he comes across as a bit of a kn*b, people don't rate him as highly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it happened in a game now it would get replayed as a highlight but wouldn't be mentioned again after that. It was a stunning save. GB had to get across his goal and get down to a powerful downward header and turn it around the post. All in a split second. So can't agree with you, there, Banno But apparetnly GB considered this pen save against Hurst his best - got Stoke to the LC Final, too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Played for some big clubs but ultimately will be remembered for making his teams mates wear a white suit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think that is something that has become a real issue with the discussion around football now. People confuse overrated and bad far too often.
