I started with the 95/96 season because that was the first season with 20 teams & 38 games
Wonder who is going to snap Toney up? Fair few teams that could use a quality PL proven striker.
Like fair play to Charlie Austin because that QPR side was miserable- there are plenty of strikers in teams in the Top 4 don’t get to 18 goals. It’s the bottom half of the table that impresses me the most in some ways.
Harry Kane 😭 It’s crazy how it’s only now he plays for Bayern some people realise how good he is, he’s played for some shit Tottenham teams but always played at a elite level
Also Alan Shearer was a menace, it’s incredible how consistent he was
Definitely seems in hindsight they were always set up more defensively and too comfortable to rely on him for moments of magic. Maybe if they’d played more on the front foot they could have maximized his use, won more matches 3-2 instead of 1-0.
Getting 20+ while your team is in bottom 3 is very impressive
tbh Haaland is well clear of the rest, a pure striker.
