Champions' League 2013/4

It wasn't that he was shut out in the final though, he just couldn't shoot straight, even with no one in front of him. Could have had a hat-trick before full time.

A goal doesn't rescue a poor performance. It means he scored while playing poorly. Can't believe he cost as much as he did. Game completely bypasses him if defence plays deep.

The Copa del Rey final will be remembered for his goal and little else for example. He played poorly but won the match for Real, it absolutely rescued a poor performance. Of course he still played poorly (if that's what you mean) but the goals have pretty much exempted him from any pressure with regards underachieving, not delivering, etc.

I don't think anybody believes he's worth €100m but he's delivered big moments in big games.

Then Feghouli, thanks for that, dont look at an awful lot of football on the box, so was a joy to see him play, look forward to seeing him in the summer in the WC

kicking myself for not backing him, ha

In 12 hours' time.

But that'd be a new thread

Geysir's lobbying forces UEFA into changing the yellow card / suspension rule.

There must be a deserve clause somewhere though, due to DeLorean's intervention.
If the player doesn't deserve it, then he doesn't get the amnesty
