Ricardo Quaresma

[Luka]

It also took time for Cristina to shine. It wasn't right from day one he played like he does now.

Already bashing Ricky, saying he is useless, would be crazy, and just not smart.

This isn't a supermarket, it is very complex, and not every player has the abbility to shine since day 1.

 

[Principe]

I completely agree with Suneet in that right now he's shit everything he has done is utter crap, he may get better true but for now it's annoying watching him play because you see all that potential and he can't beat 1 player.....i swear to god i can't remember 1 instant where he took on a defender and succeeded...

 

[Principe]

Cristiano had a great first season with Man Utd you can ask any man utd fan he might not have been like he is today but the guy was taking on defenders left and right since his debut...what they didn't like in him was that he was a ball hog but he would do like 5 step overs and beat the defenders at will...I remember him really impressing me his debut season with Man Utd...trust me he was not even close to being as bad as Quaresma is right now

He has been much worse than Mancini so far.

Mancini has been very poor in a few games as well for sure, but Quaresma has been terrible in each and every game so far. Mancini has played well on some occasions.

But defending Quaresmas outrageously poor performances by saying other players play like shit as well is simply ridiculous and laughable, its hard to take anyone serious who says BS like that.

no comments would be the better solution. but it is unbelievable that someone could say that mancini has done something good so far. nothing at all. completely nothing. even though, it is not good, nor any consolations, for RQ7 that others wings are playing nothing. but it is clear that all the criticism towards RQ7 has some part of injustice. he played quite well against catania, the first half he was the better player. we can not say something like this regarding anuy other wing in the team. it was always like this and it will be. it is really the problem of geniality. something you will never have, for obvious reasons...

that is not true. ronaldo went to manunited in the same year quaresma went to barcelona. in that year, while quaresma was having big problems with rijkaard, ronaldo played very few games. ferguson strategy was put him slowly. he played once in a while and he was very criticized, when in the field, for being always falling down. he played not more than half a season, all games considered. it was not a good season. the second one, yes. it was great. but there is no reason for any analogy. ronaldo was a child and quaresma is not, now, any kind of child. he is being defensive, giving time to time, and this is obviously, a mou order. mou knows what he is doing. and, for someone who knows quaresma from oporto, it is possible to see, already, some differences. quaresma defending, closing the wing with the defender, is something completely unusual. this is also mou work.

I don't mind him defending and helping with the defense I like seeing that but that's not his number one responsibility, yes Mou probably told him to defend more which is great but that shouldn't mean that he can't make good passes or crosses or take on players....What I'm trying to say is that till now he doesn't have the confidence in himself which is somewhat bad ofcourse he has until January to prove to me how great he is and anyways i won't make a final verdict till the end of the season...but what I see at the moment is a useless player who can't cross, can't pass, can't take on a single defender and is not adding much to the team...that's what I see and if someone right now sees something differently then and positively than I think there's osmething wrong with them

 

[Ilkinio]

OMFG. We had like 8 man behind the ball all the time. Can we have at least 3 up-front playing attack? It's not fucking basketball.

That's also how I remember this.

I think Ricky is fired up, but he is holding back, so not to make things worse. I think, that right now he is actually doing the 10%, out of 100% he WOULD WANT TO do, out of the fact, if it didn't work, he would be very criticised. It could be Jose's orders, to just "take things" slow, play it easy.

I remember, how Adriano was at some point, how he couldn't make a single pass, while the other times, he could pass with eyes closed. I think it is just temporary.

If someone has doubts, just remember, that whenever Jose wanted his man, so bad, this person always succeded. That was with Essien, Drogba, Carvalho, that was also with his "peanuts and ... " guys he took from Leria to Porto. It's not 100%, but close to that.

I'm staying calm.

 

[Ilkinio]

As long as we are winning silverware, i don't get who is bringing it.

PS. Btw i don't want anybody to misunderstand me I want Quaresma to succeed and like i said i won't say he's a flop or a success until the end of this season but nobody can say anything good about how he's been playing lately that's what I'm trying to say...In other words he should be benched until he proves otherwise because he is more a liability than help...All i saw so far was a fearful player who can't take on any defender, terrible crosses, and useless trivelas..while at the same time he keeps the ball or shoots it when he should pass there is no way that it's Mourinho telling him to do so and you can even tell on his face when he was subbed that he knows his performances are aweful.....but until he finds his game and fires up all his engines he shouldn't start...

That's one of the reasons, I've said "not 100%"

That is very true, and even I can say this. But at the same time, there are factors, under which, saying things like "He is useless", "Taking him was a mistake" are just plain silly, because it's way too early. And that is my point. My point isn't about criticizing him, for how he is playing NOW. I'm against saying signing him was a mistake, basing on 1,5 month he was at the club.

It's just way too similar, to Crapiasso episode, that one user is just trying not to remember.

 

[Azzkikr]

Jesus christ, i love when people justifying RQ sucking by saying "ronaldo didnt shine right away at man udt", it shows these people dont have a clue about anything.

Ronaldo was just an 18 year old talent when he joined United, RQ is 25, he is supposed to be in his prime. Its a completely different scenario, that cannot be compared.

He struggled for the first half but got better as the season went on.

 

[Forza ragazzi]

I agree with Azzkikr. This Ronaldo talk is annoying. What Ronaldo did/does has nothing to do with Quaresma. It doesn't make him better or worse. Lay it to rest.

 

[Nyall]

Funny how the same people who were sucking his balls when he joined us have turned on him so fucking fast! Give him time!!!!!

 

[VLE]

I just hope both him and Mancini stops trying to do a youtube dribble and work more as a team. They are both too concerned about impressing the new manager in a new team, and does not realize we have enough ball-hoggers in our team.

We don't have enough. Especially in mid-field.

Jose reaffirming Quaresma!

Quaresma? He likes kicking the ball with the outside of his foot, but if you ask me about him in a few months' time we'll be talking about a different Quaresma.

 

[Azzkikr]

I hope he is right, but i wouldnt bet on it.

 

[Karim]

I was the biggest supporter of Quaresma to come here, but he is just starting to lose even my support, yet i'll give him till the end of the season
