I mean thats the THIRD time he's comprehensively butt-raped them.
You could (cough) *almost* understand it happening once... but 3?
I've been speaking to a few of the older fans. Ofcourse some are often "its not like the old days...". But they're talking about it as one of the great all time performances in Britain. I mean Robbie vs Arsenal, the 4.5 mins hattrick was amazing, but RF was a centreforward, and I think didn't have the deep lying abilities of LUis.
I think football today is very hard to shine in. You don't have smokers, drinkers or lazy buggers coasting along in top flight teams. Defenders and midfielders are supreme athletes. |Time on the ball is really at a premium. But Luis just slaughtered this lot. It was like he was 2, maybe THREE divisions ahead of them in quality. Its like an exponential return.
Someone I spoke to compared him to George Best at his peak. Thing is, Best only ever did it in the 1st division, never against intl teams etc. I wonder where he should rank in terms of all time best ever players?
