  • Chemistry.
    The main reason why you can't throw together a group of star players and expect them to perform wonders on the field. If the chemistry isn't there, chances are that the results won't follow.
    If you saw these two play together, you know exactly what I mean when I say that they're relationship was as close to telepathy as us mere humans can ever hope to achieve.
    In their prime, they linked together to form one of the most potent strike partnerships that Europe has ever seen
    Which brings us to the question of the day; how good were Andy Cole and Dwight Yorke?

    • @westington1
      @westington1 3 месяца назад

      Cole was amazing, but suffered from playing at a time England had Shearer and Sheringham up front, then later Owen and Fowler too…..
      Also was seen as moody and wasn’t loved by the Utd crowd at all (amazingly being seen as a bit of a flop, despite scoring regularly)
      When Yorke came along - who was just an amazingly likeable character - Cole started smiling and really started to be embraced by the crowd.
      He was just quite stoic, but clearly that was shyness in retrospect.
      Suffered from not scoring that goal that would have won us the title, and was seen as this moody and ungrateful player.
      Yorkie coming along just changed all that - and he was amazing for us from then on.

    Best striking partnership I have ever seen. They were terrifying. You never knew who was playing the provider and who was playing the goal scorer until it was too late while they swapped these responsibilities effortlessly, at will and at the most unpredictable moments. When you focused on stopping one of them scoring you found he was not interested in scoring at all and was setting up the other and the ball was soon in the back of the net, and when you focused on stopping them setting up the other you found they were going to score, but it was too late as the ball was at the back of the net. It was pretty much like a goalie dealing with a player and moving too late to make the save because the player shoots at the most unexpected and unpredictable moment or rhythm of the event, and they did this telepathically probably without even knowing they were doing it. Peace and love

Beckham, Giggs, Scholes, Yorke, Cole, Sheringham, even Nicky Butt. They complemented each other perfectly.

    Unbelievable front 2 they were and to think Utd went for Patrick kluivert before Yorke and if Kluvert never turned them down. I don't think they would have done what they did that year. They had an almost telepathic way of playing together Cole and Yorke. Definitely up there with the Shearer/Sutton & Bergkamp/Henry best Premier league front 2. Cole's only problem was he needed 4/5 chances to score 1 and Glen Hoodle even said that's why he never picked him much for England. Still a fantastic player IMO. 94 Ajax team video would be nice sometime, please.

    Peak Andrew Cole would be great leading the line for United right now. He was a complete forward. Could play with his back to goal. Beat the offside trap. Great control and first touch. Could play others through. Pretty much nearly everything in Martial and Rashford's games and the bits they were missing. Cole was exellent. Some or his best goals were goals against Leeds, Aston Villa in 1998-99, the overhead kick in 2000. Oh and he scored 5 against Ipswich.

    looking back at that season as a non utd fan, i have to say it was the greatest team i ever had the pleasure of seeing. at that time for an english team to win a champs lg was almost impossible.

    Those two were great for their time, but I have every reason to believe those two would be much better in today's system. In today's football, the only formation that uses two strikers would be diamond. The would be helped by full backs rather than wingers and they would have to adapt with a number 10 behind them. For argument's sake, let's put those two in Ole's current Manchester United team, replacing Martial and Rashford. Ole has played with the diamond formation before and I believe he would make use of it to accomodate his former teammates. Yorke has the dribbling ability down and Cole is a calm and composed finisher. With Ole's style of play, instead of having 4 attacking players, he would put 5 up front. Those five would be the protagonists of this video, Shaw, Wan Bissaka, and Bruno. Shaw would struggle because of the lack Rashford in front of him and AWB would have to work harder without the likes of James or Greenwood. But Bruno would have a field day with the assists he's gonna get. I believe 20 goals each would be easy for them in a season.

    The documentary was well done, very cool. I actually went to school with Yorke in the same village, which is pronounced as "Caynan" and located in the west of Tobago. Also, he was not extremely poor."
