mattypnufc Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Henry's goals-to-games ratio though. Someone worked it out on twatter. First 8 seasons in PL: Henry - 254 games - 174 goals Shearer - 253 games - 176 goals The 'Henry had a better ratio thing' is a myth for the same 'time' period. Would he have equalled or bettered Shearers record if he'd stayed? Who knows. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hughesy Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 All depends on what you are comparing - obviously 'peak' Henry was better than the Shearer in the last part of his career. Blackburn/Euro 96 and early Newcastle Shearer was arguably better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hughesy Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Haway man - Henry was better than Shearer. I genuinely don't think that the best Shearer was worse than Henry. Shearer at his peak had absolutely everything in his game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tooj Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Still say though in terms of players who have been in the Premier League Schmeichel has the best case out of anyone for saying they are a legitimate contender for being the best ever in their position.

Ronaldo Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 I actually used to think similar till I watched a few of my girlfriend's brother's Man U season review vids. Great keeper and probably the best to play in the PL but he wasn't infallible by a long way. I think Buffon is the best in my lifetime. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Shearer was the better 'old man' striker. And the better leader. Crazy how Henry would struggle to make top 3 French players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Henry when he was on form was the best in the world, certainly the best of his time. He was lucky to have had a timeframe after the likes of the real Ronaldo, and before the likes of C. Ronaldo and Messi came along. For that time period he was the best, it would be hard to not put him in an all time Premiership 11. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
