People should always look at the goals breakdown of players, example being Crouch for England. You look at his goals per game ratio it's great but look who he has scored against then it doesn't look so good, here's Ronaldos goal breakdown from last season. He scored 25 goals last season which on the top seems a very good season until you break it down then it seems kind of poor.

3-1 V Middlesbrough 1 goal (only goal).
2-1 v Bolton 1 goal (pen) (1st goal).
4-0 v West Brom 1 goal (2nd goal).
2-0 v West Ham 2 goals (both goals).
4-3 v Hull City 2 goals (1st and 4th goal).
5-0 v Stoke City 2 goals (1st and 5th goal).
4-2 v Derby County 1 goal (pen) (4th goal).
5-0 v West Brom 2 goals. (4th and 5th goals).
1-0 v Everton 1 goal (pen) (only goal).
4-1 v Derby County 1 goal (3rd goal).
2-1 v Blackburn Rovers 1 goal (2nd goal).
2-0 v Inter Milan 1 goal (2nd goal).
1-4 v Liverpool 1 goal (pen) (only goal).
3-1 v Aston Villa 2 goals (1st and 2nd goals).
1-0 v Porto 1 goal (only goal).
5-2 v Tottenham Hotspur 2 goals (1 pen) (1st and 3rd goals).
3-1 v Arsenal 2 goals (2nd and 3rd goals).
2-0 v Man City 1 goal (1st goal).

Of the 25 goals he scored 4 goals came against teams that were relegated (Middlesbrough and West Brom), 2 goals against teams that were in the Championship (Derby County), 4 penalties, 6 more of his goals came against teams in the bottom half of the league so nearly half of his goals came against teams out of the top half of the league.
