Hahaha

Nice one pal

90 long passing.

Well, that was it, guys. I just want to say a big thank you to everyone on this page for sharing the same love for this wonderful club. These 2 years have been an amazing journey for me that I will always remember. The happiness, the bad days, the celebrations, the rages and all the emotions that made me enjoy this site and you wonderful people as well have a special place in my heart. From tomorrow on I will be going to University, so the amount of time I'll be spending on here is going to be limited. My watch has ended. Best of luck to everyone in their lives, you deserve it lads. May Liverpool stay at the top for years to come!

If you do your research, it's actually true. Sure Gnabry & Sancho should have 90 or around acceleration and Llorente 80 and then sprint speed Gnabry & Sancho mid to late 80's and Llorente 90 or around. Fact is that Llorente's pace is also underrated (because he's a midfielder).

Rest is good but as of now he’s not that fast, I’d say low 80’s for both stats.

Overrated pace, he's fast, but he could never get past Buta for example in the games of Club against Antwerp, 94 acceleration, 90 sprint speed would be fair enough

This is an older update he is still not in the game

73/82

Last time I remember he played as a winger for Canada and Vancouver, but I don't know if it's still the case.

With how well he is playing this season, and considering that he is only 19, I don't think so, but people need to calm down a bit and let him develop and not put too many expectations on him, because he's still young, and things could change. People saying that he will be better than Marcelo...that's a bit excessive...Marcelo had a level of technical skill which was incredible and was one of the best successful full-backs in history at club level. Davies is only just starting his career in European football! He is promising, and I was surprised to see him do so well, but we need to give him time!

Stupide double mistakes but he is still a great player

Messi deserves to be higher than Ronaldo

82 Sprint Speed is fine, he is not fast he is quick. 94 dribbling is too much, 90-92 is ok. 90 finishing, 92 curve, 90 free kick.

98 acceleration when Moussa Diaby accelerated past him

he is very good at crossing in United

Should be 91/91 in fifa 21 imo. He is also faster than that ! Should be more like : Acc : 79 Ss : 85

Messi has always been a CF... (first of all, do you mean CF as in centre-forward – or possibly even striker –, which is what it really stands for, or CF as in a second striker/false-9 in FIFA terms!?) I'm sorry, but do you even watch football!? Or did you only start watching it in 2010!? This is completely false. Tactically, Messi started his youth career in Argentina as an enganche or number 10, which is a free role to be honest, and calling it an attacking midfielder is an oversimplication, as most advanced playmakers all had a different interpretation of the role, but this position wasn't available in the Barca youth system, which used a 4-3-3 like the senior team, so he played as a left-sided forward or left winger as this is how wingers like Figo played at the time. Yes, he played as a traditional winger, like Cristiano Ronaldo at Sporting and Man U. Then under Rijkaard, when Messi broke into the starting 11, he was moved onto the right flank as an inverted winger, just as Ronaldo was moved onto the left at Man U. But they had very different roles in this position, and Messi's goalscoring, although it had been improving, only really increased dramatically under Pep, whereas before he had been more of a creative player. As previously mentioned, Cristiano started out on the right as a traditional wide midfielder who would take on opponents and cross the ball into the box; afterwards CR7 was shifted onto the left as an inverted winger so he could cut inside and shoot from distance, but was also used as a striker, as a second striker and as an attacking midfiedler at times under Fergie, who was trying to find the best position for him that would suit his increasingly devastating offensive capabilities. At Real, after being tried out in several other positions, including as a number 9 but with somewhat less success under Pellegrini and Mourinho (although he later also played this role under Zidane quite well), Ronaldo became increasingly more offensive at Real Madrid and came into his own back on the left, but he would run into central areas inside the box, acting as a false or goalscoring winger, which essentially was almost a number 9 at times (this is evident when most of his goals are from headers and in his first season under Mourinho a lot of his goals were scored with one touch inside the box), although he would start off further back and out wide so that he had more space and could surprise his markers with his speed movement and heading ability and act as n extra man inside the box, while other players created space for him with their movement and by dragging opponents out of position...but in this sense the Brazilian Ronaldo had already changed the role of a number 9 from that of a static penalty area player, to a player who moved across the entire front third, so when you say that Ronaldo isn't a number 9, while there is some truth in that, because he isn't an outright striker, it isn't completely correct either; he's not a traditional number 9, but he's not a traditional number 7/11 either, and he operates at lot like a modern number 9 but in a different position on paper, although he is stifled when he is played further up, even though he has played like this at times for Juve, Man U, Real, and even Portugal. Messi instead, as I mentioned before, acted as a creative outside forward on the right, who would cut inside to shoot and link-up with other players and create chances, and he was also given the freedom to drift into other areas of the pitch and pick up the ball in midfield and dribble from deep or move into the centre. Then Messi was shifted into the centre under Pep, but although he was a centre-forward or striker on paper, he played as a FALSE NINE, which is quite different; he asked to be switched to the centre because he felt it was more similar to his natural role which was that of a number 10, and he could be more involved in his team's play (and this was evident when in his first full season in this role his goalscoring actually dropped in the league and instead his assists increased, whereas CR7 score 40 goals in La Liga), and Pep devised the modern false-9 role for him to accommodate his needs, while it created tensions with Ibra, who was acting as a striker in the centre before, and who was forced to play out of position instead. In Italy, this position was already known as the centravanti di manovra in the 60s, and was occupied by a creative forward who would drop deep into midfield, work hard in the build-up of plays by linking up with other teammates, dragging opponents out of position, and in turn create space and chances for other players making runs in behind. This was not the role of an out-and-out striker or target man who would mainly look to score goals, and Totti – a number 10 – had already been deployed in this role under Spalletti at Roma, as was Baggio under Sacchi during the 1994 World Cup. However, Messi continued to score a lot of goals in this position unlike other players like Fabregas who had a different interpretation of this role. But for Argentina he initially played as a number 10 under Maradona, and then as a right winger or as a creative second striker/deep-lying forward under various other managers (which is also another incarnation of the number 10/attacking midfielder position being adapted to a different position in modern football, like the inverted winger or false 9 roles), and was tried as a false 9 at the 2011 Copa America initially, but the side struggled to replicate Barca's playing style in a 4-3-3, so he was shifted back onto the right in a 4-2-3-1. Later Messi was moved back onto the right under Luis Enrique, and then he played as a creative second striker under Valverde. Now Messi plays in a free role for club and country where he drops deeper and also can get forward and score still. If anything, Cristiano Ronaldo has always been the more offensive player. That isn't a criticism of him, they are just different players. It makes sense because Ronaldo is physically taller, more powerful, and athletic and incredible in the air and his movement and sprinting are fantastic on top of his technique and finishing, whereas Messi is a smaller, more creative and even more technical and explosive player who always liked to dribble and create chances in addition to scoring. Using their playing styles as an argument for who is better is absurd when they are different players. Goalscoring alone doesn't really mean much because Messi creates more chances, but that doesn't mean he's better either, as there are so many other factors that come into play like big games. In the end it really comes down to personal preference when comparing them. They are two all-time greats. Calling Messi a CF is like saying that Pirlo played as a traditional holding midfield, but that he was rubbish because he couldn't tackle, or that Marcelo is a bad as a traditional left-back because he isn't the best defender, or that Zidane wasn't as good a number 10 as more prolific players in that position because he didn't score as much as them, or that Koeman wasn't a great CB because he focussed too much on his offensive game, or that Giroud was rubbish at the last World Cup because he didn't have a shot on target despite playing as a striker on paper. A player's role on paper and empty stats don't paint the entire picture.

Thank you Big Kurt. We need a good pairing with him, Christensen is on and off and lacks strength/aggression. Dude got bullied by Benteke

Also, I'd really appreciate if if you'd actually take the time to respond to me instead of just downvoting my comment because you aren't happy with what I said, when I took the time to explain why I disagreed with you and share information to back up my argument...this is information which can be found easily enough online if you search for it, and I wasn't rude or unreasonable or acting as an apologist for Buffon, as I acknowledge that he has made mistakes. I'm also an anti-fascist and anti-racist, and my social political views are left wing, and I've criticised any player who has held far-right-wing views, or who has shown racist behaviour, but I'm sorry to say that you're wrong about Buffon; he doesn't openly advocate fascism, and he has disavowed these views and explained his involvement in those two incidents (https://www.ultimouomo.com/una-statua-per-gigi/), and while I agree that he may have said some things that were ignorant, calling him a racist is excessive, especially seeing as he has also spoken out against racism in football and recently even posted a photo in support of the protests against racially targeted prolice brutality in the US, specifcially concerning violence against Black people following the murder of George Floyd by the US police (https://www.juventusnews24.com/buffon-messaggio-basta-violenza-basta-razzismo-foto/). Not to mention that in 2015 in an interview with Reus ahead of Juve-Borussia Dortmund, he said that his hero was Obama (here at 0:53 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XMdPFvCrnRk), and he had also endorsed the centre-left politicain Monti in the Italian elections in 2013 (https://www.corriere.it/politica/speciali/2013/elezioni/notizie/15-febbraio-buffon-monti_5ef83cc8-7770-11e2-a4c3-479aedd6327d.shtml), and has voiced his support for the Democratic Party leader Matteo Renzi and his proposed constitutional reform as well (https://www.leggo.it/news/italia/buffon_renzi_riforme-1767562.html). You shouldn't be upset if you made a mistake on this, or to admit it, as there isn't anything wrong with that, and it shows character and maturity to be able to do that; obviously your heart was in the right place when you were denouncing fascism and racism, but you just have to be careful to whom you apply these labels, especially when there are genuine neo-fascists and racists around today, and people unfortunately have become desensistised to those descriptions because most people have a short attention span and like to forget past atrocities because it's easier to do so than confront uncomfortable topics, their own behaviour, or their country's dark history...

You're right that he is a legend of the game, but if you actually did some research before commenting, you would see that he does not advocate for fascism. He was involved in a series of incidents associated with the far-right during his time with Parma, it's true, but these were stupid mistakes he made, and for which he has since apologised. For example, he stupidly chose the number 88 to represent his rebirth after an injury, but he said he was unaware of its Neo-Nazi symbolism and then switched numbers out of respect, and he said that he does not sympathise with those views in any way whatsoever. Regarding the other incident, he found the fascist slogan "boia chi molla" on a school desk, and he didn't know that it originated with the fascists, but he wrote it on his shirt to spur on his teammates, and once again when he was critcised and was made aware of its origins, he apologised for that and denounced those views. Not to mention that most years on social media he will make posts about the Holocaust on Holocaust memorial day, and has shared interviews by prominent Italian Jewish authors and figures who aim to raise awareness about the evils of the Holocaust. If that isn't enough for you, I will also inform you that he has endorsed two centre-left prime ministers, has spoken out against populist politics, he endorsed the constitutional reform that was proposed by the centre-left democratic party, his fiancée is also known for her left-wing political stance, one of his closest friends and business partners is Cristiano Lucarelli, who is known for his far left-wing views, and he also had a close relationship with manager Renzo Ulivieri, who is also known for his left-wing views. Moreover, he has spoken out against homophobia, and while he has certainly had some faux-pas with stupid jokes and things he has said that were offensive, racially insensitive, or weren't politically correct, like the incident with the Asian fan after a game, he has also spoken out against racism in football as well, and has joined UEFA's "respect diversity" programme, and has also attempted to prevent Italian fans from booing opposing national anthems, so calling him a racist is excessive, even though I would argue that most white people are guilty of partaking in systemic racism, even if indirectly; not to mention the fact that Cameroonian legendary goalkeeper Thomas N'Kono is Buffon's idol, and he named one of his sons after him, and one of his closest friends in football was Thuram. Buffon is not like Di Canio or Abbiati, who publicly proclaimed themselves fascists, and whom I strongly condemn as someone who holds left-wing views and abhors fascism, and I try to inform myself about my country's dark past. Gigi made some stupid mistakes when he was younger, but his actions largely go against those views, and those are isolated incidents for the most part. He is far from being a saint and has made a lot of mistakes, and this isn't a blind defence of his actions, but seeing as a lot of far right-wing political figures are popping up right now, we really need to be careful with whom we describe as being a fascist, because we don't want the public to be desensitised to the term when it is used to describe genuine current far-right-wing political figures like Bolsonaro, Salvini, LePen, Farage, and even Trump to some extent. So next time, please don't just post something provocative to seem edgy and actually go and read some actual reliable news sources, and not tabloids or other fake news sites, and inform yourself before posting things, because spreading misinformation today in a time where fake news is a real problem is very serious, and you should be prepared to be called out if you're wrong.

His pace is fine in my opinion. He used to be a lot quicker, but had a serious injury a few years ago and he hasnt been as quick ever since.

Connolly> Idah> Obafemi> Parrott. Mourinho will sadly destroy Parrott.

Potential is fine at 81.After watching him the whole season his first touch is poor, linkup play inconsistent and he is not fit enough for premier league standard This hinders his best asset which is pace as after 3 sprints he's is gassed out.While he has shown flash's of talent his own manager has questioned his professionalism.

Ship after ship after ship, he swallows them in whole. It's like watching a bullock doing round-spluttering over a child's dead dream in a box full of cultured skin diseases. You can find yourself shivering next to his unused bric-a-brac in an instance,if you refuse to sing the hymn of lawn moving, or the hymn of bulrush massacre. Anyway, don't waste your time cleaning his auricles as he simply can't stand the notion of someone doing any kind of housework better than him. Just tape the body of a white bread on his chest,and you'll be fine,I promise.

https://youtu.be/DufjqZ3Unmk Watch this and then tell me again that he doesn’t deserve the sprint speed he has right now. Should be even more honestly, it‘s absolutely ridiculous how fast he is

Hey, come to Rennes to join K. Erasmus !
