Think I'd still have to have it below Albert's It would have been a great goal from Schar and rightly been talked about for amny years, but yeah I agree Albert's has higher value. That Albert one is enshrined in other factors. It was iconic for fact it was the 5th in a total bumming of a great Man Utd side, plus it was lobbing Schmeichel in a such an audacious cheeky way.

TheBrownBottle Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 7 minutes ago, Fak said: Aye but he's a defender. He was mostly a midfielder for us in the PL after we went up - he didn’t start playing RB again until late in 95/96. We usually played him RW or CM in the PL in the two and a half seasons before that. The lad was incredibly versatile. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilko Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 Don't think it's the best ever, but honourable mention for Bramble's volley against Chelsea that got us into Europe via the Intertoto. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 I also think I'd give much more consideration to Lejeune's bicey at Goodison, if it weren't for the context of the spawny spam fritter on the touchline celebrating one of the most undeserved points in PL history minutes later.

Yorkie Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 Both Albert's vs Man Utd and Schär's vs PSG are so similar in that they're technically brilliant goals by a cultured CB which put the cherry on an absolutely stunning cake. It's so difficult to separate them... Schär's was the better strike but the context of the ManU (and what had come before it) game perhaps just elevates Albert's? Then you've got BDB. Where the heck does that go? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd argue that (very soon) Tripper, Hall and Schar would all be in our all time PL back four. Hall probably has to cement himself for another season. I'd stick Woodgate alongside Schar, even though he wasn't around for long he's the best CB I've seen play in black and white. And if Botman gets his arse off the medical table for a season we will have an even harder discussion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
