Terk Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 I was a big fan of Robbie Fowler. Flirting with the anger of our Liverpool contingent, if he had stuck with football and not got distracted by "other stuff" I feel he would have had a bigger piece of Premiership history than Shearer. Totally agree with you. Fowler is not even 36 yet, but his career at the top level effectively ended in 2001, when he was just 26. If he'd have had the four or five more years at the top that his talent deserved, he would be considered one of the very best, in my opinion. He was never the same after the bust up with Phil Thompson and once he left it was a slow spiral downwards. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chesterfan2 Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Yea, going with Terk here, sadness not anger. I still don't understand the people who thought, at the time, that Owen was a better player than Fowler. Fowler,on his day, was awesome. There were truly days when he lived up to his nickname, and it's sad that he didn't make as much of his career as he could have. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terk Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Anyway, . 01:32 is just godly. The Ronaldo of '94 - '98 was truly one of the best players I have ever seen. Such a shame that injuries/fatness took such a toll on him after that. He still scored plenty of goals at Real, but he was never the same player as he was for Barça and in that first season at Inter.

Elrithral Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 How was the show? The show was totally disappointing, unfortunately. For some strange reason the venue was tiny and the sound abysmal, the bass drowned out the actuall music and it was like listening to one long bassline. Then we had a couple beside us who were practically doing it on our table and kept bumping into us. Then there was the 15 year old in front of us who was absolutely trolleyed and ended up spewing everywhere as a result of some drunken headbanging.

ScottleeSV Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Fowler was only great in a Liverpool shirt. Everywhere else he was garbage, and at international level his failings were exposed very early doors. A legend of the premiership certainly though (120+ goals speaks for itself). I was never a big Ronaldo fan either, truth be told. He had a very patchy career. How many truly good domestic seasons did he have in 15 years? Probably not many. He scored goals at the highest level but then he was playing for Brazil wasn't he? I wouldn't rate his goalscoring as impressive as say, Suker's exploits for Croatia, or Stoichkov for Bulgaria. Stick any premiership striker in the Brazil squad and he'd score a bagful too. Ronaldo was great when fully fit and under 27. You wouldn't have wanted to pay a fortune for him though. Too unreliable. Too inconsistant. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beyond that, Scott, I have to say your words hold no water. EDIT: I was told there would be no math, but for those who are curious, that's a lifetime 0.68 goals per game ratio in all competitions. 0.72 in league play. And 0.53 in continental play.

Brian W Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Fowler was an odd one. He had the game that should have held up well to age, but never did once he left Liverpool at what should have been the peak of his career. Internationally, he did always have Shearer in his way, so you have to excuse him there. Andy Cole suffered for similar reasons. Ronaldo...well, up to age 30, his goalscoring record cannot be faulted. If his battles with weight were largely down to his metabolism slowing, you can't really criticise him too much for the last 3 or 4 years either. I do completely disagree with devaluing his international goals because they were for Brazil. Yes, his teammates are better, but Croatia and Bulgaria play half their games against dross like San Marino and Estonia, whereas Brazil's only real easy games are the stupid money-spinning waste of time internationals in the middle east, and I'm not even sure they had too many of them back when Ronaldo was a regular.

BenArsenal Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Ronaldo did score against the likes of Morocco, China and Costa Rica as among his World Cup goals. I'd put the argument that Brazil qualifies for more tournaments and therefore have more matches for Ronaldo to score. Ronaldo's record was 62 goals in 97 games. Davor Suker had 45 in 69 (Wiki has a breakdown. Suker scored a good number against Spain, Italy and Germany). Hristo Stoichkov had 37 in 83. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gavrenwick Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Got to agree with stoehrst, that record speaks legend to me. He was one of the most clinical strikers of the modern age. And looking at Stoichkov's record, he scored 21 of his 37 international goals over a three year period in an international career dating thirteen years. What you posted Ben says that them two were great at scoring in qualifiers and in the odd tournament. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian W Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Comparing Suker, Stoitchkov and Ronaldo based on national team records, and performances in major tournaments is like comparing George Best to Maradona and Pele based on the same criteria. Its a similar argument to the Darren Bent argument. Is Bent better than Drogba or Rooney because he has scored as many goals but at worse clubs? How would Drogba or Rooney do with the worse service at Sunderland? How would Bent do with a team less geared to his strengths at Chelsea or Man U? In short, Ronaldo is the best striker of the last 20 years, without doubt. The fact that C.Ronaldo and Messi are equal in terms of goalscoring ability despite playing deeper and wider in general says a lot for the overall talent of those two players.

Balthazars Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Crazy scenes from Gattuso at the end of that match, although to be honest he was running around all match looking like he wanted to start a brawl with soemone. I would be amazed if he didn't get slapped with a 5+ match ban for that. I mean, a post-match, unprovoked assault on a non-playing staff member of the opposite team? The only thing worse would have been if he headbutted the ref! (and on a similar note, the only thing funnier would be if he had headbutted Flash 'Arry!) On the other hand, great result for the Spuds, and they will be very good value to go through (I did think Europe would suit them, and Milan was certainly an opponent that could be done over with their style). The performance was very solid and dynamic, and as a result, Milan just never got going at all. The other tie is fairly evenly balanced, but neither of those teams suggest to me that they're going much further in the tournament... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panpardus Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 So just watched The Pacific over the last two nights, and while it was okay, it was a big let down on BoB. For me it jumped around to much on the characters and there wasn't the sort of camaraderie that there was in BoB, which is strange considering the Pacific is suppose to be about three central characters and BoB about Easy Company. I don't think there was one character in their that I genuinely liked, or can remember to much about, specifically, in truth I can hardly remember most of their names. It also seemed less real for me, more like a movie. One thing I love about BoB was the narrative at the start, that made it more real and I most likely helped me to get into the characters more, while I realise that everyone was dead by time they made the mini series for Pacific I just can't get passed it being just another War movie/mini series.

We've taken 23, so we can easily pick a squad with none of those five youngsters. It could be argued, and is probably true, that Dalglish is taking them largely for the experience of a European away day. The media thing is annoying, yet so are the fans. The differing attitudes between anything Benitez did compared to Dalglish or Hodgson doing the same are terrible. As are the fans responses to Dalglish doing the same as Hodgson. Hodgson was lambasted by our fans for crediting the opposition too much in interviews, yet Dalglish has done exactly the same. Still, its all hidden agendas. As pointed out in F365's Mediawatch column repeatedly, the writings of some journalists in regard to Fabio Capello since the World Cup have been nothing short of disgraceful. Its easy to write when you've got a (not too hidden) agenda.

Matchday European squad is 18, so it is likely that only one of the youngsters taken (probably either John Flanagan or Thomas Ince) will be in the actual squad (one of the three 'keepers taken will not be included, most likely Gulacsi). It's Kenny doing the same as he did for the trip to Wolves when Coady and Suso travelled with the squad, gaining them experience. Agree with your point about the fans, there was a large section of Liverpool fans who were going to criticise Hodgson no matter what he did.
