PaulC Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 8 hours ago, Captain_Townsend said: Julian Joachim was backup to Yorke and Milosevic 1996-97 but grabbed a nice few goals. In 97-98, even though we signed Collymore, he seemed to get much more involved, sometimes playing wide. 98-99 he pretty much became first choice and ditto 99-00. He was a solid player for us and good for a goal. Ollie for me has the potential to be our best PL era striker if he keeps it up for another 2 seasons! Joachim was very underrated. He was rapid and a big player for Gregory. I don't think there's too many better strikers in Premier League at the moment. Haaland, salah who plays more the Bailey position. Watkins is right up there now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomaszk Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 13 hours ago, Vive_La_Villa said: It’s a shame he can’t take penalties. Agree. He'd be in with a great chance of golden boot. But it's good they've been taken off him in a sensible manner. For whatever reason, they were no good for him. He's since signed a new contract and is verbally fellated by our best manager in forever even when he struggles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ve scored every penalty this season, Dougie gets a bit of a boost and it hasn’t harmed Ollie’s confidence one bit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Delphinho123 Posted February 18 Popular Post Share Posted February 18 Goals and assists aside, I actually think his best attribute his ability to seemingly play every match and never, ever be injured. In terms of an out and out athlete, I don’t remember there ever being more of one at the club. He’s an absolute machine. 8 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn’t it be easier for her to just hand them one pen, and then hand it back Remnants of Covid.....................................maybe.

If he was a horse....He would be one of those "Lloyds Bank" Freisians......He looks like a thoroughbred.

Ollie for me , is built like the perfect footballer. He is some athlete. Must really look after himself off the pitch - full credit to him. Two very good finishes yesterday, the first one especially. He’s having a cracking season, no doubt. Must be a dream for a manager knowing he’s going to be available every match. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PieFacE Posted February 18 VT Supporter Share Posted February 18 Kinda mad that had Moreno not been offside (if it even was) and had Youri finished the relatively easy 1v1. He would have bagged another 2 assists yesterday. Unreal player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sulberto21 Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 The second goal was elite level. The best players never have to touch the ball but they are in control of it. Iniesta n Xavi used to do this a lot let it run and then at the right time pass. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
