Collage Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Robert was an odd one, wasteful in possession, would go missing for large parts of the game, but boy could he cross and shoot and he set up loads of goals and scored them too. A frustrating figure but easily one of our best ever PL players. Aye, good summary. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 He's still my favourite ever player like. It did amuse me in the games where he clearly couldn't be arsed though when Bernard would sprint past him to give an option down the left then if the move broke down, sprint past him the other way to get back.

Klaus Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Loved Robert personally. Every time he got the ball, you would expect something to happen. Loved his moments of madness where he would shoot from 50 yards out, or smash the ball off Bernards face for no apparent reason Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Collage Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Similar to Ben Arfa that way, extremely gifted but inconsistent and didn't always make great decisions on the pitch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Rolls-Royce of a player. The first player in a few years I could put in that HBA, Ba, Cabaye and Remy bracket. Type of lad if he's in your team you think you have a chance. Think he's half a step above those. He's definitely a better player than all of those. He's our best player since Robert. Robert wasn't even the best player in Sir Bobby's team. He was by the time Bobby left. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Think Bellamy was the best player in that side by the time Bobby was sacked. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Howaythetoon Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Speed was Bobby's most consistent performer in terms of fitness and being a steady 7/10 player. Chipped in with goals too. Shearer was the main man as the main goalscorer but Bellamy, Dyer and Robert were also key players, so too Nobby. Its weird because the defence in terms of individuals under SBR was never the best, but we did alright there and that's because of the attack and midfield.

Guest firetotheworks Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Beardsley, Shearer and Robert are our 3 best Premier League era players imo. There's having favourite players and that but Robert doesn't belong alongside those two like. Not going to argue it with you or anything because obviously it's all down to opinions and everything, I just can't see how you'd have Robert alongside those two and that's before getting onto having him ahead of the likes of Lee and Cole.

One of them should still be here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Robert Lee was pretty fucking amazing. Still the best midfielder of our times in the Premier League. From 93-97 he had everything. He was but one thing which always stuck in my craw was in the season that we looked like we were going to win the title, him and Ferdinand went missing in the latter part of the campaign. First half of the season they were banging in goals left right and centre, then in the final run in they just disappeared goals wise. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
