Mbappe, Lewandowski, Sorloth, Hugo Duro… LaLiga is km ahead of PL
They forgot Harvertz 🤦🏿♂️
Hahaha it's funny,its the evolution of the game isnt it. Everyone praises pep,forns over him for how hes changed the game but this is the consequences. Im not saying its all down to him obviously but that style has definitely dictated formations,patterns of play etc .
People now are starting to understand that football level is going really down.
Damn this is on point
now we got lakaka
KANE. Just cause his World Cup performance was a disgrace doesn’t mean he’s been top 3 striker in the world past 4 years.
Fucking Shearer!!! These two dopes played when was about. Better than all them you've named
Rooney, Aguero, Drogba, Berkhamp, Torres, Shearer, Totti, Klose, Andriy Shevchenko, Eto'o. Cmon now
I don't know when the last time I watched a game from start to finish. Every game is the same as the last and it's all incredibly boring. No skill or flair. Tippy tappy nonsense.
Me?
Robbie saying I remember one stage n names players that DID NOT play at the same time 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Thats because the defenders are better these days
Robbie Keane mentoning himself and Defoe over shearer… LOL
This is a somewhat valid point obviously but they're comparing current premier league strikers with strikers across Europe over a 10-15 year period (R9 and Zlatan not really same era for example). That's a bit unfair.
When will Rio grow up
Van Dijk's had it easy, strikers are a dying breed!
True
But on the flip side you weren't dealing with wide players/forwards of this calibre, the game has changed Wide forwards are usually the best players in the team, you are talking about Strikers because as CB's you felt there was a match up, you against your striker especially with sides that played 2 up front which i understand but the modern game asks different questions and it started with Ronaldo at Utd and the list of wide forwards that has followed since then is incredible, Bale, Sanchez, Pedro, Villa, Mane, Son, Salah, Sterling, Hazard, Reus, Mahrez, Sane, Insigne, Di Maria, Vinicius, Raphinha even Robben & Ribbery, football moved on from 4-4-2 to a 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1 and therefore the onus on goal scoring had to shift, as much as Adriano & Ibrahimovic were frightening forwards you can't tell me with Liverpool at their peak under Klopp Mane & Salah weren't as daunting a task to go up against, what they asked of you as a defender was vastly different from what 2 conventional Strikers would ask of CB's. Could you be switched on to match their out to in runs every single fucking time? By virtue of being wide players they had more pace, could you keep up with them in a foot race? Because they came from the wings they had much more room to run into so you had to anticipate differently. Let's not even talk about teams that deployed False 9's which made CB's redundant. These are the questions the modern game is asking of CB's Son, Salah, Mane, Sterling, Kane & Vardy are the 6 players who've joined the 100 Goal Club in the PL in recent times notice how 4 out of the 6 are all wide players?? Prior to them the only 3 non-strikers with 100+ PL goals were Le Tissier, Lampard & Giggs all playing an obscene amount of PL games. That tells you all you need to know about the shift, also each of those players have played through the middle at various times for their respective clubs. Let go of this obsession with Strikers the ball can find it's way into the back of the net in various ways.
Me😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
We have athletes now not footballers
So compare Giggs to Salah and see how much better the wingers are
Who’s the guy who says “me” while mentioning the great players of the past?
Raul, Alan Shearer, Patrick Kluviert, Rivaldo, R9, Cantona, Hernan Crespo, Michael Owen, Arjen Robben,
People are coaching strikers out of the game, no shooting at training, no practicing set plays, no running in behind, football is shit now and won’t change unless a club from the ground roots start to develop flair and technique back into players.
Sorry but the numbers Kane and Haaland produce today absolutely puts those other guys to shame.
These old footballers seem to be exposing a lack of tactical chops. Of course the 9 is less of a focal point in the teams' attack. Wingers invert, so the goals come from more than just the 9 and 10
I sort of get the point they are making but there's still salah Harry kane latauro martinez osimhen gyokeres lamal
The average player is significantly better than 20 yeara ago. So the stand outs today, stand out less. Plus, the striker role has gone.
I fucking hate this reel! Shearer is the goat of the premier league!
Me ffs😂
In the past, wingers like Giggs scores 4 goals in a good season, nowadays wingers like Salah scores 40 in a good season, the game is superior now because it’s faster and more efficient
Has he has a stroke?
None of them mentioned the premier leagues record scorer 🤷🏼♂️
