Don't agree with that, like. At his best he was fantastically clinical and instinctive. Always a place for strikers when they're that good. He was but because of his lack of pace or height and the way the game/systems have moved on I just don't think he'd be afforded the chance given that he'd almost certainly have to play uptop alone.

Mole_Toonfan Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 If anything with managers moving away from 442 to more fluid set ups players like Le Tiss would arguably shine even more than they did back then. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Howaythetoon Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Am I reading some of this right RE Fowler? He would excel in any era because he had pace, guile, great movement, a decent footballing brain, a wand of a left foot and the kid could score goals for fun. If players like Lambert can cut it in the PL today, someone like Fowler wouldn't have any problem whatsoever. RE Le Tissier, he was fucking class, he just strolled around doing next to fuck all other than score wonder goals and generally show boat in what was a shitty Southampton side. He pretty much kept them up every single season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interpolic Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 He was an unbelievable finisher but I just can't see it. Most first-choice forwards at top 4 clubs have an element of physicality and quality link-up play to go with the rest of their talents. I could see him getting plenty of minutes for such a club (or maybe starting for a club like Liverpool/Everton) but not being a mainstay of a top side.
