Zingari Posted 25 July 2013 Share Posted 25 July 2013 What pair of opposition forwards used to (or still do) scare you the most when we played against them . I think in my time the pairings that filled me with most dread when we faced them on matchdays were Mariner and Whymark ( Ipswich) and Gary Shaw and Peter Withe (Villa) edit;Just to clarify I guess what I'm really asking is which partnerships seemed much greater as a pair than their constituent parts rather than just 2 big names on the teamsheet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foxfanazer Posted 25 July 2013 Share Posted 25 July 2013 Van Nistelrooy seemed to always score against us but can't remember who his strike partner would've been. Think he was a line striker most of the time. Deane and Dickov must've worried other teams when we had them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zingari Posted 25 July 2013 Author Share Posted 25 July 2013 Does anyone think there is some formula or logic in these special partnerships , or is it just luck that sometimes two individuals hit it off as a pair . I remember thinking when Lineker and Beardley got together for England that it wouldn't work , it looked completely wrong on paper , How wrong was I ?

Col city fan Posted 25 July 2013 Share Posted 25 July 2013 Fowler and Owen. During their early years they were unstoppable. Especially Fowler. I recall him scoring 4 at Filbert St, after Akinbadbiyi had opened the scoring that day. If memory serves me rightly. I remember thinking he was absolutely class. Bothroyd and Chopra for Cardiff.

He got a hat trick but Sami Hyypia also scored, we lost 4-1, Akinbyi was horrendous that day haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just happens and there's no real reasoning ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes of course they can, I don't think it's one set thing but a mixture of a lots of different factors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My recollection of that night was they were just about the most formidable forward line we've ever faced, although we won 4-1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
