He's not good enough AS A PLAYER and thats my opinon. It would also be an opinion that's shared by Rafa...because could someone care to explain why he cannot get into the first team?
agree to diagree...but my opinion is Fowler was once one of our greatest strikers....now he's unfit, slow and a shadow of the man he once was. yes he was a great player...but so was BArnes and Rush. If they were here taking 30k a week and doing nothing, i'd be calling for them to go too.
get out of the past and into the now...Dudek and Fowler arn't good enough...not even for the reserves.
coaching? who knows...but this thread is about our players...and mainly the ones who are not good enough.
I tell ya what Robbie may not be as fit and as fast as he used to be, but he's still got it upstairs. The lad is the only real natural finnisher we have in the squad and TBH I'd like to see him play more. If he could get a decent run in the side I bet he'd outscore the other three strikers, class is permanent !
Its pointless arguing with him mate, he is a fucking clueless pleb.
thats rich coming from a guy whose named himself something you get under your foreskin
Of course his games to goals ratio is high...he scored shed loads early in his career and any average is high....Ian Rush could come out of retirement tomorrow and you could use the same arguement.
But, Fowler has featured in 20 matches so far this season...and he's only got 5 goals, 1 of which was a penalty....so thats 4 goal in open play after 20 games...not so impressive now, is it.
now look back over the last 7 years...i think Fowler has scored something like 30 goals in 130 matches....again not so prolific. Fowler (as a young player) a sensation...he's not that now.
Somehow that 20 matches number seems very high to me. Where are you getting that?
More important, though, is how many minutes he's played not how many matches. Goals per minutes played is always the telling ratio and I guarantee you Robbie's is impressive.
It doesn't sound like you're prepared to be convinced but I don't think your going to find any stats to support you on this one.
