Manchester United Goalscorers and Assisters 07/08 [R]

I'd like our boy to go down in history as one of the greats. It seems no matter what he does he can't catch a break. I mean for goodness sake 42 goals in 47 matches. That's retarded.

In fact, I'm not even going to debate people on Ronaldo anymore. I'm just going to post 42/47 and 8/11 for the CL.

Those are just retarded numbers. I think Ronaldo's even numbed United fans with this performance. Sure we respect the goal total and all that but do we really fathom what its like for a WF to put together that type of season?

How many strikers have got above 40 goals from Serie A, EPL, La Liga and Bundesliga?

 

Yup. Lord knows we'll turn into those God-awful Real Madrid fans who constantly lurk amongst other fans, waiting to pounce on anyone who dares to talk about their team.

 

I think part of the issue is that a lot of his supporters act like any criticism is unwarranted. Any time that this happens, be it with regards to a player or a team, there is going to be backlash. Ronaldo just completed a great season, but not a perfect one.

 

Wasn't this said last season too?? There is no telling where he will end up at or what kind of player will he end up as.

As billy rightly said in some other thread, there is no other player I have seen who has such a continuous desire to improve himself and be the best in the world.

 

As a fan, I understand critiquing a particular performance but on the whole I'd just as soon shut up and enjoy.

 

With all due respect and love, Johno, I don't see you ever shutting up. (Nor do I think you should.)

 

If we get a proper striker he won't have to score more then 25.

 

I think it is just natural. It will keep him on the wing more. I think the days of him pausing in the middle would be gone for the most part. Also the ability to make a cross to someone that can get their job done just changes things. He'll think cross first again.

 

Does anyone have a breakdown of Ronaldo's 41 goals this season? How many came from open play and how many from set pieces?

 

I'm sure you meant 42.

Rather than copy and paste I'll just link you to the following:

Detailed enough?

 

Its a good thing he detailed how many he scored with his cock. Thats the stuff of legend.

 

Cheers!

 

Comprehensive enough?

 

Are we counting Portuguese Internationals progress in Euro2008 in this thread as well or?
