Are the 1950 and 71 games up on YouTube? Fire them up there.
Scored his fair share of goals too. He made Carragher look competent. Has to be considered one of the best of the PL era. A snip at 2mill. Far superior to the likes of Ferdinand and Terry.
Ferdinand is a drugs cheat so doesnāt even belong in the conversation.
Shearer did - 34,37 & 37 and that was after a cruciate
His first 3 full seasons? Iām not sure about that.
Big Sami was a breath of fresh air after a decade of Neil Ruddocks and Bjorn Tore Kvarmes. Big Virgil has a much better supporting cast so hard to put him ahead of the big Finn.
aye - his first season in the premier league he was injured at newcastle. He broke all sorts of scoring records after thatā¦ he was in the first division before that
I remember Ole taking him out with a nasty tackle one year. Alex after spending all those millions and sent the pants sniffer out to knobble him. Paddy Berger free kick match iirc. Sami gone for 2nd half and donāt think it was even given as a free.
Sami is far superior.
They read the Sun.
Thatās the game, Fowler in his prime.
Both Fowler and Owen were mismanaged on injuries and Fowler re his role in the team in his latter years.
Fowler was very gifted technically as exemplified by the goals there and a less risk averse coach wouldāve redeployed him playing just off Owen after his cruciate. He was never the same physically after the cruciate and while part of that is on him, he was the kind of player that needed to feel wanted. Iād say heād have loved to have gotten himself right for Keegan at City but he was way off his physical prime then and hadnāt lived the life.
Heskey couldāve rolled in as well to lead the line as it is well acknowledged that Owen was overplayed given his hamstring issues. Jari Litmanen couldāve played with any of them really he was that good. The likes of Barnby, Owen and Heskey were willing runners to balance Fowler in his latter time at Liverpool.
Houllier was a great man to get a team working hard and in the right shape, was a top coach but he seemed to have a distrust of technical or mercurial players and wingers. McManaman got out pretty quick too but for the shot of a lifetime, Anelka (potentially the best centre forward in the world). The Litmanen thing was absolutely nuts, he was possibly the best player at the club!
Thereās a great yarn about Fowler smashing Thompson in the head with the ball;
Thompson: āYouāve fucking done that on purpose.ā
Fowler retort: āIf Iād done it on purpose youād be dead!ā
Fowler is the GOAT.
Great post that.
One of my favourite players to watch in the day.
Liverpool is a way of life. Itās passion. Itās big dreams and big hearts. Big characters. Mersey beat and Scouse wit.
Cunts coming in here with clip boards and excel sheets. Theyāll never get it.
We are Liverpool.
It means more.
TELL RATOATH NEVER
No more worlds to conquer on the football field. All about memories now. Alissonās goal, Nat and Rhys bleeding from the head, Harvey Lad breaking through, The Nivea for men videos, Naby Lad
The xG boys will never get it.
