Shearer got 19 goals that year.

 

Most of which were in the UEFA Cup tbf...

 

7 in 26 starts in the league with 19 in 40 starts overall. Quite sexy for someone with no legs imo.

 

4 goals from open play in an entire league season is sexy for someone the whole team rallied around?

 

The defence was crap but so was Shearer by then.

"Quite sexy". 7 in 26 is just under 1 in 4 which is alright all things considered. Cisse was over 1 in 4 last season by way of comparison.

The thing is Shearer could have been a very useful player towards the end if used a bit more sparingly.  Every time he was on the bench there was a load of commotion though and as much as I respect Shearer for giving some of his best years to us and know he just loved playing football, that always irked me a bit.  Great leader on the pitch at the peak of his powers and otherwise mind, which was important to us.  Under Robson we had leaders dotted around all over the pitch.

It's a crap record and you know it. He had the likes of Kluivert, Bellamy and Robert around him, man.

Bellamy - what a wanker.  Come back when you stop beating up women and have scored more than 13 goals in a Premiership season.

 

Think he only got 7 for us in 02-03. Didn't change the fact he seemed to be involved in just about every goal we scored.

His finishing was abysmal and never really improved.  His ability to score a one on one with the keeper was a joke.

Nonsense, man.

Bellamy's never been about prolific goalscoring, doesn't stop him being one of the most effective forwards we've ever had.

 

Signing him and Robert took us to another level, from 13th-13th-11th-11th to 4th-3rd-5th in fact.

Club would have been in better shape if we had binned Souness and Shearer instead of Bellamy. The tail wagged the dog for at least 2 seasons too long.

Still haven't replaced him and Robert for that matter.

It really isn't nonsense.  He missed so many chances for us.  I am not saying he wasn't good, he just missed a lot of chances.

Players like that aren't easy to come by.  (Pre-finished as a winger) Jonas and Robert are such polar opposites like. :lol:
