    his scoring rate against the top teams, in the big games is really poor. the vast majority of his goals come against the bottom teams in the league.

    On the WUM blatantly Edward. Talking out of your hole :D

    I'll just point out players don't win major tournaments "single handedly" or "on their own".

    ill come back with some stats tomorrow, i have to finish up a few things in work and head to the Ireland match.

    but are you actually going to dispute that the majority of his goals have come against the bottom teams this season? i think its 4 goals against the top half, but i will confirm that tomorrow.

    Even it is 4 in less then two years that isn't bad at all. Infact I'd say Rooney's is similar? Also big games in the COPA America and the WC he also scored in from what I remember. So I wouldn't say he is miles away from deserving a mention to be perfectly honest. Ronaldo when he was at United used to go missing in the big games from what I remember? Scored a majority of his goals against "lower" opposition as you so kindly put it.

    I think you need to update your fact book Ed :D

    2 champions league finals played, 2 goals, 1 MOTM. What a daft assertion.

    Of modern day players, I would certainly add Iniesta. Best big game player in the world at present.

    Which two goals would they be?
    By my count he has only one goal.

    He is talking about Messi.

    He scored a header in the '09 final and a shot that slipped past VDS in the '11 final.

    They have been ignored simply by the fact that the African Nations Cup has been excluded whereas the South American and European equivilants are included, thus oplacing them at a massive disadvantage.

    Didier Drogba would make the list if it was included and I'm sure there are others - Kanu??

    Can't agree with you that the toughest level to compete is a World Cup, the last few have been terrible and the standard of the Champions League is infinitly greater.

    The whole concept is completly redicilous anyway, he is essentially saying that someone who scores to make it 5-0 in a final is on a par with someone who scores the winner in a 1-0 final?

    The Champions League is overrated.

    No it's not. Over-hyped perhaps. But not over-rated. It's rated by most as the best football tournament and it is the best football tournament. By miles.

    All the top clubs in the world featuring most of the top players in the world. It can't get much better.

    And not only that, the players are training/playing with each other week in, week out which of course creates a greater understanding amongst them in comparison to international football which leads to a higher standard of football.

    Kuyt.

    Never the most technically gifted but when you needed a goal he was the man.

    Always good for a goal against United as well.

    Solksjaer was always good for the a last minute winner as well.

    I wouldn't call the likes of Dinamo Zagreb, CFR Cluj, BATE, Nordsjaelland, etc. top clubs. You can find much better teams in Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Japan, S. Korea, Mexico etc.

    It's funny how many South Americans such as Oscar find it easier to score in the Champions League than the Copa Libertadores.

    Ah heyor, that's pretty disingenuous. Why not rate the best teams against each other?

    Also, it's funny how South Americans such as Veron and Martin Palermo struggle in the CL but are the main men for their clubs when it comes to the Libertadores.

    We can all play this game.

    So Luis Suarez is top of a big game bottler list. Of all the players in the league, or Europe or indeed the world.

    Homer with yet another classic

    They just keep coming

    From an English perspective, I'd put forward a slightly surprising name. Michael Owen scored in every knockout match he ever played in for England in major tournaments. If only some of his teammates had delivered when it mattered.

    It's quite clear those players stepped up to the bigger occasion.
