So so so ugly that game but beautiful desert with robin

i wanted to see that United upset so bad, that defender should never have let RVP past him, trash defending

So with Pato going back, that's another Brasilian wonderkid of this generation who didn't quite make it in the leagues that matter for various reasons.


Unless they are defenders, leave em be.

Seems like the only thing Brazilian players care about is winning the World Cup, which make us Brazilian league fans happy. Teams are definitely affording high wages as well, which is plus to bring back stars like Pato, Robinho, Fred, Dinho etc. Players returning has proven successful, so why not partake with family, friends, culture, good wages, new NT coach, play the happy go lucky samba styles, and pick up a nice shiny new trophey .

I agree, thats why this hype about Neymar should die down, brazilian players end up disappointing, The one that hurt me the most was Adriano, he was when he came to Inter and was on the road to legend status, but I guess he didnt want it bad enough,women and partying derailed him, what a waste, all the money and allocates he could have got

RVP is soft as fukk, any team with a solid, physical defense would easily keep him from goal. Rooney on the other hand is a different story

 

[International Playa]

Case closed

And when he ruins his career by going to Chelsea it will be further evidence

I dont think Chelsea will go after Falcao, that get out clause is ridiculous Dont think Abromovich can take the embarrassment again of squandering money on strikers who underperform

Ba & Torres are enough until Lukaku is ready. Chelsea can rely on Ba as long as he stays uninjured

Well RVP has scored against Chelsea, Man City, Arsenal, West Ham, Stoke and has scored against Everton numerous times, those first 5 having the 5 best defenses in the premier league based on goals conceded, Everton being 6th this season.

Where did this rumor come from that RVP is soft? He's had some injuries but on the reg my man is hard as fukk no hetero.

If nigs were taking cannonballs to the dome in history as heroically as my man rvp took from dat goon ashley williams then we probably wouldn't even have heard of cats like Blackbeard and Sir Francis Drake. Soft?!?

it's not a rumor, Drogba=physical, Rooney=physical, Ibrahimovic=physical, RVP is soft. He's got speed and a shot which are good weapons but can be stopped with good defense. Just don't give up a shot, stay goalside of him and mark him close so he doesnt beat you with his speed. West ham's defender gave him too much space starting from midfield, refused to position himself in front of van persie and got beat because of his naivety

Why is physicality revered seemingly above everything else? It may be because that is what is emphasized in the premier league but only to a point is it helpful.

Having the ability and frame to bully defenders at will is nice but it's clearly been proven that supreme positioning, clever movement off the ball and high technical skills (all which RVP has, probably the best technical player in the prem) are very hard to stop. Plus RVP is decent in the air.

RVP: speed and a good shot. I'm done

 

[BonafideDefacto]

I forgot what it was like having a striker who makes runs, holds up the ball, competes for headers...you know doing what strikers do.

Physicality doesn't mean much without technique and skill. And technique and skill can overcome physicality as Barcelona have proven time and time again.
