Anish Posted 27 March 2005 Share Posted 27 March 2005 I think Owen will struggle to break the 50 goals barrier to be honest. In the last year or two his goals to games ratio has dropped markedly and I can't remember off the top of my head when the last time he scored 2 or more goals in a game was. Even if he does become England's top scorer it will only be because he will have played more games than his main rivals. As for MON's comments about Terry being overrated, what a joke.

C-man Posted 27 March 2005 Share Posted 27 March 2005 I think Owen probably will break the record, and i would love to see him back in England, because his career is going nowhere at Real, who agrees? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toonboy Posted 27 March 2005 Share Posted 27 March 2005 to break the record in less games than charlton he would need to score 20 goals in 38 matches (i think) which is unlikely but if he gets 50 he will be regarded as one of englands best ever, if he isnt already.

As for Paul Robinson, can you think of anyone better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MON Posted 27 March 2005 Share Posted 27 March 2005 I make it clear, Terry is a great Centreback but he is not in the class of maldini, Nesta, Thuram and Ferdinand etc. The british press hype him up too much, if he was that good other teams would be after him.

Home P W D L F A Pts Chelsea 30 24 5 1 58 10 77 P W D L F A Pts Man Utd 30 19 9 2 48 17 66 But I think I have proved there that Chelsea have let less goals. That must be down to the Chelsea defence who Terry is the main man in and also captain. But Uniteds has let in more goals with Rio in. Yes, Rio missed 6 matches where United conceded 6 goals, but that is still 1 more goal than Chelsea have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems that some people on this board will disagree just because of person who is making the point. 84699[/snapback] It's very much a matter of opinion. Rio and Terry are very different centerbacks. Terry sticks to his task well, hardly puts a foot wrong and get's his fair share of goals from set pieces. He's been red hot this season, whereas Rio's ban made him stutter... they're both top quality centerbacks but at the moment I would say Terry shades it. He's definitely better than Campbell... Nesta is a great centerback, but unlike Terry and Rio he offers little going forward, and you'll find that he needs a great backline and keeper as backup before he shines... having said that, when has Nesta ever not been in a worldclass defense? Last time I saw Nesta play for the national team though (Euro 2004) he was far from the flawless centerback against Denmark and Sweden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodgate and Terry are about the same. 85018[/snapback] Terry is undoubtedly one of the top 3 centre backs in England whereas Woodgate is as frail as my granny. he played about 25 games in 2 years at Newcastle and a grand total of 0 for Real. i don't argue that he would be up there challenging for an England place if he could stay fit but at the minute comparing Jonathon Woodgate to John Terry is like comparing you or I to John Terry.
