The 4-4-2 formation (or variations of it), whilst limiting in midfield, produced some incredible strike partnerships over the years. Aguero & Forlan, Henry & Bergkamp, Yorke & Cole to name a few.
Which two players that played at different times do you think would make the best partnership, or at least which would you most like to have seen? Personally, as an England man, I think Kane & Owen playing as a 2 up top would have been great to watch. They compliment each others styles well. Who would you pick?
Easy. Benzema & Ronaldo.
Haaland and Pele would be tough
How far back in time can we go?
- G. Müller & Klose
- W. Smolarek & Lewandowski
- van Basten & Cruyff
- Cruyff & van Persie
- Puskas & Villa
Pele and Mbappe would be demonic
Henry&aguero
Would’ve loved to see Zlatan playing with Henry.
Paddy Kluivert & Michael Owen
They already played together but I find it difficult to imagine a strike partnership that would be better than Romario and Ronaldo (R9)
Kane and R9
Oooof. Basically Son and Kane, except R9 instead of Son 🤯
CR7 and Messi the two best players ever
It wouldn’t work well… And I base that solemnly on the fact that when you put two players with 20 in Creativity together on top in my manager game, it never works out :)
I don’t know why I didn’t think of this. Would’ve been mind blowing to watch.
Kane and CF Messi
Crouch and Defoe
Already happened, and boy was it beautiful.
Lukaku and Werner.
Henry and Suarez in their primes.
I think CR-7 and Messi would actually compliment each other greatly
