Jesus, that's young, isn't it? Gazza was already just about done by the time Bowen was born. Jive Bunny, Milli Vanilli and other musical greats were already distant memories.
George Michaels career was all but over. Chazz was on the dole in 96. Spending his days in the bookies, happy days.
Yeah I would say there's an argument Bowen is doing at least as well as Harrison if not better, and certainly than Lookman.
He certainly needs to be managed well, though the fact that so far he isn't in the England setup probably helps, as at least in the international break he can be rested.
Lookman over Bowen is questionable, but you've got to be fair to Harrison he deserves it on current form and it's not often I'd say this about the fa but hats off to them for looking further afield and taking the time to watch him in the MLS Genuine question.....when was the last time we had a u21 player who didn't play in a league within the UK? I can't remember one unless I'm forgetting someone bloody obvious
Personally, I don't. He's in great form getting goals but he doesn't seem to have a massive impact on general play, as in you don't see him bossing games, tearing up defences and creating opportunity after opportunity. But if he can keep scoring goals then who knows, he certainly seems to know where the balls going to be and when. Looks more like a Michael Owen get on the end of anything in the six yard box striker than a winger to me, I'd like to see him played up front in a 4-4-****ing-2, he might stand out in general a bit more then.
Really? I think there's been a number of games where he's carried the ball quite well in midfield and been the impetus for a number of attacks - either the Reading or QPR game being a good example, can't remember which. Bloody hoops. His goal against Birmingham was a screamer from outside the box as well so I don't think he's simply a tap in merchant.
It wasnt a screamer from outside the box at all, it's was a tame shot that the keeper completly ****ed up and let in, 999 out of 1000 times it would have been saved
It's was a pretty standard effort that really should have been easily delt with by the keeper, doesn't take away from the fact that he got the ball, had confidence to run and shot...we don't have many players like that
