the way these guys will let the ball pass, hoping there is someone behind to pick it up

Leyqute:
Sound point.

I’d rate Henry above Harry Kane in terms of general football technique though. He’s got speed, close control , and his finishing is one of the best in his time. There’s a reason he’s called Igwe.

Seems Alan Shearer’s longevity is the major reason he’s on that list. It’d be interesting what his goal to game ratio would be compared with the likes of Henry, RVN, Aguero and Kane.

Maybe it's recency bias because I have watched Kane play both as a striker and in the 10 role in the same match at the same time in that Tottenham team. His short and long passes were good and used to switch play easily. I think he deserves to be rated more. He probably didn't have that trickery to go past defenders most times but close control and finishing? He had them. It's just unfortunate he made a decision to not play for any other club aside Tottenham in England.

maik99:
Ranking Harry Kane ahead of Henry for ability is interesting
I'd also argue that Harry Kane and Henry are better goalscorers than Aguero
It's a difficult one really
RVN is probably the most underrated goalscorer of all time

I have always enjoyed Kane's ability to bring others into play as the striker and still end up in the box. I think he is probably the most team player in that list behind Rooney. And he didn't play alongside some very good players like the others on this list in the EPL.

As for Kane and Henry being better goal scorers than Aguero, I think it's very very close. All three have the same stats when you look at their goals per match stats

As for RVN you're probably right as an underrated goal scorer of all time. But when you look at his numbers in the EPL compared to others in that list, its not out of place for him to be considered the least.

Leyqute:
Looks like Garnacho is leaving at the end of the season. There are rumors he’s put his house in Manchester up for sale.

It's a pity he is unable to get to that height I hoped he would with us. But if any good money comes for him, he can go please.

Afrod.oc2 Capita.lCee Eph.12 everybody

How would you rate these EPL strikers in terms of goal scoring ability as a CF and general football technique ?

1)Alan Shearer
2) Harry Kane
3) Wayne Rooney
4) Andrew Cole
5) Sergio Aguero
6) Henry
7) RVN

Shearer holds the record of the highest goals scored, but I don’t think he’s as talented as some of the guys on this list.

I didn't watch enough of Shearer and Andy Cole to form an opinion about them. But for the rest, I'll rate in terms of the goal scoring ability in the following order

1. Sergio Aguero
2. Henry
3. Harry Kane
4. RVN
5. Wayne Rooney

Everyone on this list played almost their entire careers as the central striker, except Rooney.

For their overall play, not judged by their goal-scoring ability, my ranking will be
1. Wayne Rooney
2. Harry Kane
3. Henry
4. Sergio Aguero
5. RVN

I could easily swap Kane and Rooney, though

nitrogen:
The like for like defender sub did not make sense in that situation. Unless he wanted Maguire to top strike with Erasmus.

he had bayindir, Amass, Collyer, Kone and Maguire on the bench. Who should he have brought it to stay up front and deal with crosses into the box?

nitrogen:
This guy is doing like for like defender sub when we need to boost our attack for goals. Nawa!

Who should he have brought in?

Garnacho should have the worst conversion rate in the league.

Goosethetruth:
The league table seldom lies. It is a reflection of each teams performance over the season. Forest will do well in Europe next season. They are only playing like this due to fatigue and tiredness which is making United look better than they actually are.

They won't be tired next season?

adebayo201:
Nah Casemeiro don dey hold the midfield since... It's wide open

Casemiro and Ugarte. This is why Amorim started them together, to control the game

Looks like our midfield is now more open than the first half and Casemiro is struggling to a lot of space. He already has a yellow card. He is now off for Eriksen lol. Forest will be chuckling

MRTA7:
Our attack is the main reason we're deservedly in the bottom half of the league.

Common knowledge na. A lot of promising moves have died prematurely because of how terrible the attack is. The major focus for next season should be the attack. Then since we will be losing Eriksen and Casemiro, we need to either buy or trust the youngsters to take their places. I suspect they will do the latter since there is not a lot of money at the moment

Garnacho just keeps getting worse every game

Leyqute:
We’ve got 5 shots, 3 on target, but no goal. We should’ve scored at least one goal. Also dominating the game.

We just need more intelligent and athletic players on the pitch, hopefully we see some new ones next season. For this game, a striker should come in so that Zirkzee can withdraw into the ss position. He is much better there. But that will mean Casemiro or Ugarte is taken off

Leyqute:
With a improved confidence and a little more quality we’d have scored. We only need to get better at finishing chances.

They're bad at finishing chances and very good at conceding very avoidable goals

larride:
He should’ve stuck with the same lineup that we have used to grind out some results before the international break.

As bad as Hojlund is, he’s still a CF, Zirkzee play better as a SS and not as CF.

This experiments need to stop.

We are controlling the game. We just conceded unluckily like we have done many times this season. This goal was very much avoidable. Hojlund is not playing because Amorim wanted an extra body in the midfield. Maybe that's why we are able to control the game. And Bruno is not even playing on the wings

larride:
Where Casemiro and Ugarte go come play?

I don't think we have enough wingers at the moment

BARAJ92:
Wetin u expect, with the no of players out injure. The only position we have depth has been seriously depleted with 5 CB out injured.

The coach is only interested in seeing out this game

I know na. It's just funny. Thank God Leicester are awful and we're winning

We just dey play rubbish lol

If Eriksen comes out for second half ehn

Nah I've had enough of Eriksen. What's Amorim doing?

What's pa eriksen doing?

Thank God o

Jamiuokolaa:
I thought I was the only one that noticed Case's "effective and efficient" performances of recent. Nothing spectacular but decent enough to get results.

Hopefully we beat leicester on Sunday and go into the international break on a winning streak.

We have had good performances in the past, then they relapse and go on a losing streak for some time. Nothing new

Jamiuokolaa:
I am struggling to understand SJR's intentions here..

Is he "complaining" in a sarcastic manner and can't wait till get rid of them or is he saying we are stuck with these players ?

Looking forward to the summer TW

I think we haven't finished paying for those players so they have to be included in the next transfer budget

Oasis007:


.......unpopular, kinda ridiculous, opinion; I think Mason will play well as one of the 10s. He has the energy, tenacity, agility and creativity to perform better.

From the hospital? They should tear his contract

Sportsweb:
You won't get more than 30m from Betis.

It doesn't have to be Betis

The funds from Antony sale will go a long way for us. Same for Rashford. Hopefully they both perform very well

Why not the youngsters instead mr Amorim?

That should have been a yellow. The referee reacted angrily

Dalot lol

They should help Rasmus o. He fit cry if he mistakenly score one goal
