Well, I'm not nice with any striker that misses chances when Roman make them so I'm biased and was unfair to Forlan in the past, even as I said I like him...anyway here he is very well considered as you see, and I hope continues this way, today when him and roman hog after the goal, and laugh was great!!!! they are confident, and they are focus, and above they are great persons that deserve to have great moments...

im gonna be honest.... i get soo frustrated watching forlan.. even with man utd he gives the ball away so much... but i also should say he's been playing smarter this year ... he is scoring but sometimes he makes the easiest play into a joke! on the other hand he makes something out of nothing...

im not a fan of him at all... but i will give credit where its due

Sometimes, Forlan remind me of the first time I played pool. I didn't know how to aim so I just hit the cue ball as hard as I could and knock others balls around the table hoping I would get 1 in the pocket.

Sometimes, I got crazy results that way, but most of the times I missed.

Reina, he's proving he's one of the most talented goalkeepers in Spain... i'm not surprised that Manchester and Liverpool want him, he's NT material (look at the future: Casillas-Reina-Valdés).

I don't get much of Forlan, but I'm with Chino and Faisal here, Forlan got vilified in England. He looked hardworking at Man Utd, and although he didn't contribute as much to the team's forward play as he's doing at Villareal now, he still worked and tried to create sth.

The way the media in England portray him, its like he's better than Heskey. I'm a Pool fan, and I know a good Pool player when I see one, and Heskey's no better than Forlan. Maybe Heskey has a better record, but he ain't better than Forlan.

I'm quite relieved that he's doing well now, even if its just a purple patch. At least, it keeps certain media journos quiet.

He is great since long, he even deserve the NT to see if he is at the standart, in my opinion he is the most intelligent keeper, by far, anyway Spain has great keepers like el Dragon, Ikel, and Valdez that is maturing, but Valdez and Ikel seem to be always the guys capable of the impossible, and suffering the more idiot goal, they are so blessed (specially Casillas) in the physical department, that they have some really grose errors for trust too much only in that.

One of the last games Casillas made three outstanding saves, merelly impossible for the majority of keepers, but the truth also is that if in the first save instead of sent the ball to the middle of the area, he sent it to a flank, or the corner, the other two wouldn't exist.
He reminds of Constanzo in River, they can fly from post to post, but many times they can save themselves from doing it just being well positioned, and many three chances save in a row like the example could be just one by sending the ball yo the correct place, or that lost art of grabbing it, that Reina still remembers btw...

Typical "he is just lucky" excuse.
It's funny how people always choose the most unnatural explanation to facts. Maybe he is the second top scorer in la Liga because some alien got inside his body. And if I remember well he got to this score without the help of penalties.

The obvious natural explanation is that Forlan is good, it's quite simple.

But that would go against his tag. And when someone has a tag in any aspect of life it's very difficult to get rid of it.

I never said he was lucky. His great efforts is what's bringing him here. But I woudn't say he's good or talented. Strong and hard working are the right words.

All I'm going to say about the whole Forlan thing, is that he has gotten better as the season progressed, but you have to remember he came from 2 year of sitting on the bench in England.

Now that he is inform, he is scoring regularly & I hope my theory is true, and he continues his good form, because he plays regularly.
