Ani Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 Gaza at Italia 90 was the best I have ever seen in an England shirt for a whole tournament. Beckham v Greece was good as a one off but Gaza looked the best in the world in 1990. But he was 50/50 to even make the squad. Spurs fans I know say he was brilliant there till the injuries Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevieb Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 The italia 90 documentary shows that 90 was romanticised... Gazza was good but we beat no one of note and didn't play good football by modern standards. 2018... Trippier and Pickford deserve their own documentary 💣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter barryk32 Posted October 19, 2023 Site Supporter Share Posted October 19, 2023 There was a romance with Gazza. He was just a normal lad who was incredibly gifted. You could easily imagine him fitting right in with you and your mates. I'd have absolutely fuck all in common with Harry Kane. For me, thats the difference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Messi just strolls through games barely breaking into a jog then the next minute he’s beat 3 and banged one in the top bins. I reckon Messi watched MLT as a kid 😃 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon Messi watched MLT as a kid 😃 Anelka was like that when he came to Bolton. He wasn't wasting energy chasing lost causes. Was getting labelled lazy in his first few games. When delivery was improved he'd be on the end of it. Class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MancWanderer Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 Genuinely stumped by anyone not seeing Gascoigne as supreme in his time But in that era, the way he took the ball, and ignored the “play it long”, and just took it past players was amazing There were your box to box supremos, your players with the pinpoint long passes but he just went “fuck it, give me the ball, and I’ll just walk it through anyone and any team” Was absolutely opposite of the footy being played at the time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted October 21, 2023 Site Supporter Share Posted October 21, 2023 I see Grealish as having some of that quality- being able to have the ball seemingly stuck to his foot and he drifts by players. He's more one footed though and can be frustrating. Comparing top players from different eras isn't particularly easy though- pity we can't pit them against each other!

Pointless comparing players from different eras imo. Would he have done well in the current era? Who knows? Would Pep let him play like that? Would Southgate? I’ll take him for what he was, when he was. One of the best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The entertainment was the stuff Gazza used to get up to and the stuff he did in training. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
