I remember he scored a couple of great goals against Arsenal and Fulham.
Nothing but tap-ins inside the 6-yard box for us, but then scored an absolute belter for Real Madrid when he was on loan there. 25 yarder in to the top corner from the left side iirc.
I think his teammates just tried to hit it off him as he was like a pretzel training wall.
This is why I’d have him in the England squad. Most of his goals come from crossed balls. With TAA crossing those balls in last week we really needed this player. You can hit Tammy long too so he’d be a great bench option.
That wasn’t Shearer. He was a complete centre forward, he scored every type of goal except for mazy dribbles.
I’ve read that Fergie insisted that Chicharito shouldn’t even try to shoot from outside the box. Which is weird, considering that he scored from outside the box in the exhibition game dedicated to his signing and, as you’ve mentioned, for Madrid a few games in his loan.
Simply marvellous. Even the penalties are shit strikes.
The perfect description of Kuyt’s hat-trick against us
Great call, even his good goals were shit
Beat me to it.
Yeah, I was surprised we hadn't had him, very early doors.
Cheers. There were more from outside the box than I realised he scored.
I liked this one
How did it take so long
It was the second post?
Cool
Inzaghi maybe.
Are you mental?
Underrated? I think he lucked out in being allowed to play alongside Bayern's golden generation, getting to score tons of goals at the expense of his team's cohesion. I think quite clearly him (and Podolski) starting against Italy in 2012 cost Germany their chance at the Euros, a mistake that had to be rectified at half time. It's of course not all about him, but Bayern began their current period of utter dominance and won the CL final the moment he was dropped for Mandzukic (who wasn't even that highly rated at the time).
