[kaz7]

Officially the 15th best player in the world.

Imagine where he’d be if he had a good season!

You actually think Guardiola would play a subpar player 260 times because hes always fit.

Laughable.

As you know, his “sub par” performances have been more recent.

To suggest ANYONE is suggesting he has been subpar in 260 performances is laughable, and not a little defensive.

However, perhaps more damning, is your conflation of fitness and rotation. By definition, they’re mutually exclusive, otherwise, you’re not playing BECAUSE you’re not fit to play.

Carry on.

If you believe the Ballon D’Or rankings tell you that, you have good reason to be upset….

….Boris Johnson was voted best politician in Britain!!

Sterling’s laurels in 2021 are squarely resting on the Euros. Surely, even your rose-tinted glasses can see that.

….Boris Johnson was voted best politician in Britain!!

No, he was elected MP for Uxbridge and South Ruislip by 23,000 people

that is nonsense about Grealish. he might no get in behind the defense but he offers so much better control of that side compared to sterling. its not like sterling does anything after getting in behind anyway. Grealish being so efficient and safe allows us to never lose the ball a 100 times like with sterling and actually allows Cancelo to express himself more. Sterling on the left side is a disaster. he should play on the right if he has to.

Control and no goals or no control but some goals.......hmm tough one.

 

[ChicagoBlue]

No, he was elected MP for Uxbridge and South Ruislip by 23,000 people

Are you saying he was not elected to the position inside the Party?!

Regardless, you missed my point.

Carry on.

It's worth noting that Sterling came 15th in the Balon d'Or likely due to his exploits for England, where if England had won the penalty shootout he probably would have won player of the tournament (and obviously been part of the winning team).

I'm not saying that's a valid excuse, but just that it's not quite as random as it seems considering how lazily these awards are put together.

 

[DAGW]

Control and no goals or no control but some goals.......hmm tough one.

Control and 2 goals/3 assists or no control and 4 goals/2 assists.

Just for the sake of accuracy and not fallacy.

I think the placings at this years Balon d’Or show that it’s an outdated award, a closed shop and awards for the boys If you like. Messi should never have won this years award and was Raheem really the 15 th best footballer in Europe. He wasn’t even in our best eleven last season although he has improved of late.
