Craig 6321 Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 Who's the best partner in Shearer's time at SJP? (Yeah OK, you'll have to judge his partnership with Owen on England performances or just guess!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toonraider 0 Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 Has to be Sir Les on goals to games ratio. Then Bellars id say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howaythetoon 0 Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 Bellamy. Not as productive as the Sir Les combo but KK's side was so compact and so fluid, they weren't really partners, they operated all over the forward line, right left and centre and they also had some top quality supplying the bullets. As I remember, Sir Les and Big Al didn't link up as such or work off one another, not like Bellamy and Shearer did. So I say Bellamy. That was a fearsome partnership and one that had it's mutual benefits which is what a partnership is all about. Neither could fully operate without the other where as Sir Les and Shearer didn't really need each other. Bellamy was Shearer's legs and movement and Shearer was Bellamy's shield, he'd draw defenders away, shield the ball for him, play him in and feed on knock-downs. A mutual partnership. BTW Shearer has played alongside Ameobi more times than any other striker in his time at Newcastle. How many goals would he have scored if he has Sir Les, Beardsley and Ginola alongside him for 9 years? I think he'd be looking for 6 goals to reach 300 never mind 200.

Tom_NUFC 0 Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 Les Ferdinand. What a front two that was. That season they were together, they absolutely terrorised defences. Teams were shit scared of those two together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Owen along side him it looks like a return of the Battering Ram / Whippet combo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howaythetoon 0 Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 The thing is, Shearer is past it now so don't expect miracles from the Owen and Shearer partnership. It didn't work for England when both had more pace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
