Everytime you mention someone over 30 might decline suddenly you are bombarded with people claiming that there’s “no way a professional like him” could decline and that sports science has gotten so advanced that it essentially trumps biology meaning there’s no reason players would decline one bit before they’re 36 at the earliest.

Players decline nobody ever denies that

Casemrio was great 4 months ago so was Varane

The difference is team doing bad so you say this, it's not about age it's more about team performance

I just gave an example of Xhaka, do u think prime Xhaka was worse than 30 year old Xhaka? Or was it fans scapegoating due to club performances

[–] auddi_blo@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Xhaka has not declined yet. Nothing in my comment suggests that I think every player 30 or over has started to decline.

Your comment generalizes and says nothing of value

Nobody has ever said what you are saying you are just overexaggaratting, when both Casemiro and Varane were signed people quesioned it including like Carragher etc

Your point is awful, age matters yes but 3 months of bad performances doesn't mean 31 year old player is shit and has declined, what would happen if he is good next season? Does age not matter or is it just shit overall team performance by basically everyone
