Your Best Finisher ?

[Nymzee]

I didn't get to watch most of these. My immediate reaction was Lukaku but thinking back the Yak was a beautiful finisher.

Its not a close call.

Lineker is so clear its not even funny.

Yeah,but Oxford away

 

[N0L1M1TK]

Lineker by a mile

Lukaku is the most deadly I’ve personally seen. That 2016/17 season it was a goal every time the ball went anywhere near him in the box, left foot, right foot, head. Mourinho ruined him by trying to turn him into Lennox Lewis. Hipsters will try and say Yakubu was a better finisher but he wasn’t.

I loved Big Rom, but that game at Wembley leaves a very, very sour taste.

 

[Bedfordblue]

No shouts for Straq?
I’ll go with Lineker on toast then.

Well, Dixie Dean. Though I did not see him play, I'll just trust the numbers.

Saw him kick off a charity match, you could just tell by looking.

He had a languid style that made his finishes look really calm and effortless, but he couldn’t score the variety of finishes that Lukaku could for me.

Wot no Dixie Dean, bow your head in shame.

Nobody alive has seen him though. If we're going by goals and games, Fred Geary, 1889-1895, scored 85 in 100 matches, must have been some finisher. There's plenty of other examples : Bert Freeman, 67 in 94 matches, let go by the board because he'd reached his peak at the age of 26.

I reckon his ma put a hex on the club after Moshiri’s racist outburst, we’ve been a diabolical comical mess ever since.

One that never gets a mention... Kevin mirallas.

Don't think I ever saw him miss a one on one.

There are some players where you almost start celebrating as soon as they’re in behind the defence and we haven’t had one of them in ages sadly

Lukaku was the very best of them for me as a 35 year old, even better than the Yak, Mirallas, Kanchelskis, both Rooney ages, anyone I saw. What’s crazy is he wasn’t just great one on one he was lethal on the end of a cross too.

I just don’t understand what happened to Rom that one semi final against United. He could have been a hero for life (especially after he destroyed Chelsea in the quarter final). Interestingly he’s missed big chances in lots of big games since leaving too.
