wormy Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 Looking forward to the responses to the Premier League’s tweet about it It would actually be amazing if all NUFC fans stopped to wish him well rather than the usual behaviour Having said that I bet they show Shearer in his Blackburn kit Becuase of course that won't trigger our fans even more.

Shearergol Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 Forget how many goals he scored simply by following up rebounds. Don't see many strikers doing that these days. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 Yeah I always thought that, he was always first to the rebounds and you don't see it often these days. I miss supporting us in the early 2000s Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrmojorisin75 Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 Yeah I always thought that, he was always first to the rebounds and you don't see it often these days. less top strikers play so centrally these days i reckon, he was always in and around the 6 yard box when he didn't have the ball but nowadays most of the better strikers around seem to be part-wide player as well kane the closest to shearer i suppose Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gjohnson Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 https://www.planetfootball.com/nostalgia/lee-dixon-on-alan-shearers-dark-arts-i-thought-im-not-going-near-him/ Who's the closest in modern times? Can't think of a single player who could do the long range stuff, tap-ins, free kicks, headers, and assists while being a leader and terrify defenders at the same time. Kane at a stretch, but don't remember him getting too many spectacular ones like Shearer had C. Ronaldo at a push, but he was never a great leader and always about himself.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 Shearer changed a lot over his career as well, from what I remember he was pretty quick in the early days. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gjohnson Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 Shearer changed a lot over his career as well, from what I remember he was pretty quick in the early days. Probably what made him one of the best. Plenty good strikers go crap when they lose a bit of pace and don't try to change...for all his faults even Owen tried to change to fit Keegan's system, just didn't have the desire to see it through Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infinitely Content Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 The Villa one where he just guides it into the top corner on the volley past the helpless Schmeichel. I remember rewinding my Return of the Entertainers VHS over & over to see it again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gjohnson Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 Out of interest who has an opinion of what the next striker trend will be. 80/90 was generally 2 up front big man little man combo, then 00/10/20 single guy supported by to wide forwards(pretty much a Mourinho creation) Can see it going to 3 out and out strikers when a decent team has some success with it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
