AlanSkÃrare Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 Derby away, man. Who the f*** just blasts it straight at the keeper from 30 yards out? Fucked up the way he smacked that. One of my favourite ever NUFC games as well. Also very fond of the one he hit against Liverpool in the FA Cup (03/04). Through everybody and everything. Dudek would have died if he tried to save it.

nufc4eva Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 Seems so so long ago when Robert was here, loved watching him play. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Varadi Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 Robert was absolutely fantastic mind. Everyone remembers his long range shooting but he also had a wicked cross on him - pace, spin and dip, when he got them right they were impossible to defend.

Optimistic Nut Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 Aye his range of free-kicks was amazing. Normally with a set-piece specialist you know what you get, but he could place them around the wall (Bolton away first season, Blackburn home second season), curl them top corner (Man U), smash them (Derby, Southampton, Liverpool in the cup). Superb. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nobby_solano Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 Robert on the left wing, Solano on the right, Big Al and Bellamy up top We played some cracking football under Sir Bobby Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paully Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 Robert on the left wing, Solano on the right, Big Al and Bellamy up top We played some cracking football under Sir Bobby Dyer and Speed in the middle as well! Robert was absolutely magic and is the best left winger I've seen at NUFC! Ginola was a lot more skilful but Robert produced a hell of a lot more!

Cajun Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 I loved Robert's corners, they were either ridiculously good or ridiculously bad With the likes of Speed and Shearer on the pitch when the corners came off they were pretty much guaranteed to be a goal. Absolutely hammered them in so when you had players so good in the air it was a perfect match. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanSkÃrare Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 That midfield and frontline is unreal. And as for finishing 4th on 71 points with a back four of Hughes - Dabizas - O'Brien - Elliott. Compared to Pardew who struggles to stay up when he has to pair Taylor and Yanga-Mbiwa.

Guest neesy111 Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 Putting pace on corners and crosses is what we miss now. Far easier to put a header away when you don't need to put much power into it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 I didn't make that one! Edit: oh Robert's, yeah I did I'm sure West Ham is missing. The one where he dinks it over the keeper, hits the post and follows it in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanji Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 Robert's range of free kicks were insane like said before me - he could curl them with precision, smack it with precision or do that run-up and just smash the hell out of it. He absolutely understood whipping the ball in with pace via cross, corner or strike into danger areas b/c with the pace he could get on the ball - it could go anywhere. Brilliant player man.

Beren Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 The double vs Spurs Insane. And he gave both the crosses for Shearer's brace that day too, I think. Fantasy Football dream. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuy_O Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 His free kick vs Liverpool in the cup is my favourite of Roberts. Ridiculous the power he got behind it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimplyAnth Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 His free kick vs Liverpool in the cup is my favourite of Roberts. Ridiculous the power he got behind it. Same, can vividly remember watching it go in and going mental. That and the Fulham goal. So unorthodox. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 The double vs Spurs Insane. And he gave both the crosses for Shearer's brace that day too, I think. Fantasy Football dream. His second goal in that game is arguably my favourite NUFC goal of all time. Used to sit not far away from where he hit it from, never seen such movement on the ball before/after.

AlanSkÃrare Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 Another favourite. Woodgate playing a superb pass wide left at Goodison. Everyone storming into the box - Robert hammers the shit out of the whole stadium to score. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
