Ronaldo Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 It took him 10 years to get 40 goals when he was actually a decent player. His goals to games ratio speaks for him, though. I'm not a fan of Owen, but the stats he has at any club before Man Utd (even there, when you only count starts) are massive. 10 years playing as poacher with the likes of Beckham, McManaman, Lampard, Scholes and Gerrard supplying him against the likes of Luxembourg and he manages 40 goals. I'm not impressed with that. Robbie Keane's record is impressive. At us he managed 1 in 3 starts. What's impressive about that? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My statement was more about his goal scoring record at club football anyway... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 It's a record I'd expect from a poacher at big clubs. Still never managed 20 PL goals in a season. As for his starts at Man U, he still hasn't scored a league goal. So I've no idea what you're getting at there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if you take into account the players that supplied the chances for him, the midfield while he was here was abject most of the time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've actually got a point with the 'never scored 20 league goals', too. Just by looking at his stats it seems like a great record, looking a bit deeper into it it probably doesn't anymore.

Interpolic Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Scored 4 in Munich, didn't he? He was a great player but wasted it with his lack of ambition and attitude. Hatrick, Gerrard and Heskey got the others. Also remember Nicky Barmby played, as he often did at that time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly don't think Barmby played If he did, goodness me, either I'm losing my memory having just turned 30 or I had blocked out his entire existence since the mid-1990s.

Guest gggg Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Barmby definitely played. That game marked a turning point for both countries and Germany won in the end. Germany saw Carsten Jancker upfront and realised they had to change their whole system, England thought they had a chance of winning the world cup for the next 10 years with Emile Heskey upfront.

The College Dropout Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 It's a record I'd expect from a poacher at big clubs. Still never managed 20 PL goals in a season. As for his starts at Man U, he still hasn't scored a league goal. So I've no idea what you're getting at there. He only managed less than 1 in 2 goals for Liverpool once. His record there is very strong. Just checked his stats at Man U.... have to agree there. You've actually got a point with the 'never scored 20 league goals', too. Just by looking at his stats it seems like a great record, looking a bit deeper into it it probably doesn't anymore. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was like a freaking reunion. I've always been in a minority who didn't jizz so much over that game. I mean yes, it was a great scoreline, but Germany were outrageously bad at that time. Like unbelievably awful. Good win, but the way some fawn over it is a bit embarrassing IMO. Bringing out a DVD of a qualifying game ffs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
