The greatest assist ever was McMahon's for the first goal in the 2-0 against Arsenal in 1988.
McMahon did the work keeping the ball in (still can't believe he kept it in and then got back to the ball in time to go past the defender) but it would have been Beardsley's assist if anything as he has a shot saved before Aldo scores. I'm sure they've actually started counting "key passes" too now though.
I hope Bobby comes back fit and hits the ground running. I feel he can take some time to get back to sharpness from plumpness sometimes
The Test is obviously right
Fixed
I have seen Bobby's future. His name is John Barnes.

Someone more tech savvy than me can embed the table if they like but Bobby is 5th
No idea why he's even on the list, but I've a fiver on Bobby to win the Nobel Peace Prize at 40/1
Yes, I was at that game, you could be right! Although Bob's no look backheel for Mo against Newcastle is up there too. What I mean though is I don't understand where the stats come from for players like Cally and Kenny. They were still clearly assisting goals back then, but as far as I'm aware assists weren't being officially recorded anywhere like they are now.

Yeah, that McMahon piece of play was glorious, as was the one you mention. I'll add Suarez's weaving and wriggling through the United defence to set up Kuyt to bury it from an inch out at the Anny Rd end too.
anyone noticed his contribution for the opening goal.just dragging the defender and leaving Salah to make an easy finish. Any normal no 9 would have taken the chance selfishly. Those little things are just what makes him so special. I have no idea how that is going to be interpret into data.
Sorry mate, the second goal was a header after the shit (Nani I think) back header.3rd was the tap in at The Kop end after the spilled free kick.
Love that vid! I already followed him while he was still playing in Hoffenheim, but now he is just so much more physically strong and able to attack against any defender <3
Firmino is not a true No.9, he's not a false No.9 either. He is 9 3/4.
If he's being asked to head the ball too frequently - which isn't exactly his specialty - it could affect his ear and cause an infection. Especially if the ball hits him on the ear directly.
Say what you want but not scoring a single goal in 18 games at home is simply not good enough even for a forward playing for Norwich.
