tomski Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Bit of a side note but one player that never played at his best against us from what I can remember is Thierry Henry. The best player to ever play in the Prem IMO and I can't remember him ever giving us many problems Good call I only remember him equalising against us in 187th minute of injury time against us at Highbury.

Eddie Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 (edited) Good call I only remember him equalising against us in 187th minute of injury time against us at Highbury. That the last season at highbury when Nolan put us 1 up? I thought it was Gilberto that equalised Edited August 23, 2013 by Eddie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enzo gambaro Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Bit of a side note but one player that never played at his best against us from what I can remember is Thierry Henry. The best player to ever play in the Prem IMO and I can't remember him ever giving us many problems Still says Simon Charlton is the best player he's ever faced. Maybe. Anyway, Don Goodman in the first leg of the play offs at Molineux. We didn't know what to do with him - he completely dominated us in the air. Then, in a tactical masterstroke, Rioch gave Mixu the job of marking him in the second leg. Goodman only heard rumours of a ball on the pitch that night.

fester58 Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Winston white for bury always had a blinder also a little winger for wigan can't remember his name but didn't seem to like Bolton morrisey,malkin for tranmere always played the hearts out against us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddie Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Ha you may be right, I'm now unsure. Ill be the first to call sickening. Yeah that game. My 1st and only visit to Highbury. That goal from Nolan was something special! I thought we were on for a famous victory but then Gilberto bagged like you said in what seemed like the 100th minute of injury time. Left with a point from Highbury that actually felt like a loss! Nearly forgot... Sickening! On the actual topic, Duff and Dunn when the inbreds beat us 4-1 at our place in the promotion season. Also that Fulham team in the promotion season but in particular Saha was a class above Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc505 Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Probably the Ribery performance in Munich was the best that Ive seen. And another already mentioned, unfortunately, Rooney with that hat-trick in the 4-0 at Reebok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Carlos Posted August 23, 2013 Moderators Share Posted August 23, 2013 I think Fowler is the only player I've seen score hat-tricks for two different teams against us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magic legs Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Fabregas when we somehow managed to turn a 2 goal and 1 man advantage at half time into a defeat. Ribery as above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leyther_Matt Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Also that Fulham team in the promotion season but in particular Saha was a class above Good shout. Didn't they score after about 10 seconds against us at the Reebok? Tigana had them playing some class stuff. Kevin Francis is another for the goalscoring bracket.

ex_midlandwhite Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Rob Green for Norwich the game Holdsworth scored in a 1-0 win. Green looked unbeatable that day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whites man Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Fabregas when we somehow managed to turn a 2 goal and 1 man advantage at half time into a defeat. Not seen a player with better off the ball movement than him. When City had Distin and Dunne and at the back we never looked like scoring.

Moderators Zico Posted August 23, 2013 Moderators Share Posted August 23, 2013 Rooney has destroyed us a couple of times at the bok first time we faced him at Goodison on Boxing Day tore Campo about 5 new arseholes, hit the woodwork and had loads of chances stopped by deflections and point blank saves and all that for a 0-0, it was a touch one sided Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Traf Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 When City had Distin and Dunne and at the back we never looked like scoring. Isn't Dunne one of our leading goalscorers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smeghead83 Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 As regards to that Fulham game at the Reebok in 2000 the first goal was about 50 seconds in. That was a very 1 sided match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember going in to the game with a ton of optimism and then they just battered us. Wiki reckons it was the ninth game of the season (30th September) and we were unbeaten up until that point with six wins and two draws.
