Tooj Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 After a break discussion there with a fellow forum member. It got me thinking of all the players Bobby has actually managed over the years if we could all actually try and name our XI of the players he has had. I need to obviously go back and look at some of the players that he has managed, but I will say my choice of strikers up front would be Romário and Ronaldo. I do mean from their respective abilities during the time when he managed them btw. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tooj Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 You wouldn't put him above Ronaldo, Romario, Van Nistelrooy, Beardsley or even Shearer though, surely? I would rank him there without a doubt, yes. Plus I'm on about the players abilities during the time Robson got to work with them. So I'd have had Lineker over Shearer on that basis.

So I'd have had Lineker over Shearer on that basis. fair enough, not the rest though eh? And Van Nistelrooy too as he briefly worked with him and he wasn't at his peak then. I'd put Lineker on the bench actually, as Pedro and Stoitchkov (if not played in midfield) could both drop deep if needed but Lineker would have that extra goal scoring prowess. Or that amazing talent to be there when needed most. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 Van Nistelrooy (with his finishing and magnificent first touch) having the ball carried for him by a Ronaldo type would without exertion destroy any defence in the world. Didn't you once call RVN a bellend? Bit of bias rearing its ugly head here Tooj? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Heneage Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 I remembered him after I did it, but like I say I never saw him for England, I was sort of working off performances while under him, the defence was hard and the strikers was tough for different reasons.
