  • Matt Le Tissier goals but they get increasingly more spectacular, the Southampton midfielder has a goal compilation most players could only dream of - the effortless style of his game was truly unique and iconic.

    Matt Le Tissier was a pure entertainer, he made incredible goals look effortless - should he have got more caps for England?

      We couldn't afford such a luxury player when we already had solid midfielders who were good in attack (but not AS good) but more than balanced it out with the work they done around the pitch which was one thing Le Tiss was lacking

    In Catalonia there used to be a half-hour programme every Monday where they'd show the best goals from the Premier League. Every week, Matt Le Tissier would be on the show. I'm talking outrageous, sickening goals. Straight in the top corner, left-foot flick and then right over a defender and score against Newcastle. We used to say: 'This guy, Le Tissier, is outrageous and he never goes to a big team. He stays at Southampton. It's incredible. He could play for anyone.' Our whole house was obsessed with him. His talent was simply out of the norm. He could simply dribble past seven or eight players but without speed - he just walked past them.

    So, Pompey fan here. Those that don’t know, Pompey are the more successful, better supported rivals of scumhampton. Now, with that in mind, it greatly pains me to acknowledge Le Tosser (as we affectionately call him) was pretty good. I will never forget his goal against Newcastle (the last one on the video). My whole family watched it on a Sunday, and when he scored, for a very brief moment, we forgot he was a scummer. My Dad, my brother and I all jumped up, knowing we had just seen a superb goal that would be spoken about for years to come. We then remembered he was a scummer, and so naturally called offside, lucky, fluke, miss-kick etc. When my boy was born, the poor bugger had no chance, he came out of hospital wearing his Pompey baby grow, blue scarfs, mittens…. The lot. With this in mind, a couple of years ago we were talking football, and he mentioned Danny Ings. I said, check out Le Tosser, he was above average. The next day, he was telling me how brilliant he was (I’m still ashamed), how good his goals were (DNA test needed) and how much of a loyal team player he was (dissowned). All joking aside, a rival supporter can salute greatness, and Le Tissier was great. PUP

      ​@@jameskavanagh4315Many great players (e.g. Romario, Ronaldo, Ronaldhinho, Cassano) hated training, enjoyed partying and were far more unprofessional than Le Tissier, and yet their coaches had the good sense to make a sacrifice and give them the freedom to express themselves, simply because they were too talented to leave out.
      We often heard/hear how lazy Le Tissier was, yet look at his results on the pitch; his goalscoring record, which was very impressive given that he played either as a second striker or attacking midfielder, and the joy he brought to the fans every time he played.
      England, perhaps until recently, always had an obsession with athleticism, over technique and imagination, that's why we saw the likes of Hoddle, Wilkins, Scholes, Carrick either being played out of position, not utilized properly, or not getting the number of caps their club form merited. I believe this is one of main areas which held England back on the International stage in previous decades.

      5:19 is the best goal in Prem history for me. Poor quality recording but the distance he hits it from combined with the fact he lobs Tim Sherwood (who was essentially on his line) makes it another level. Lots of players would hit a shot from range (Jamie Redknapp and Frank Lampard would try it every 5 minutes), but where it ended up was often a lottery. Le Tissier would pick a spot and hit it. That's the difference.

      @ihavetourettesfcksht6130 Před měsícem +1

      He was never underrated, both he and Gazza were seen as the best players in the league when they played. I suppose that the fact that he didn't play as much for England leaves a dull mark on his career but England mostly hired yes men who favoured work rate over skill. I'm surprised Gazza got as many games as he did. But both Le Tis and Gazza could have easily played for any of the best Brazil teams they were so good. There's a reason why England have only one world cup since 66 and you're now seeing it with Southgate.
      We've some of the best creative players in the world and he parks the bus every time favouring mostly work rate in a park the bus defensive system.

    I became aware of the individual teams in the English league in the early 90s. As they were almost all from London or the North, Southampton was the odd one out, so I picked them as the team to support. Only then did I find out about Le Tiss, and boy, was it rewarding. Never made it to the Dell, as it was basically impossible to get in.

      But no England manager at the time gave him many caps. Were they all wrong? Even Hoddle, who you'd think would have always picked him, only chose him a few times. Could it be he needed players who actually worked hard for the team? At Southampon, he did as he pleased which suited them all. But at international level, you need team players. Was he really a team player. I'm not decrying his talent- he had fantastic ability. I'm merely trying to figure out why, considering his ability, he only played 8 times for his country. But for England and the top teams talent alone isn't enough and I wonder if the England managers wondered if he had the right temperament (for want of a better word).

The reality, as EVERYONE who was actually old enough to watch and understand football at the time from an unbiased perspective will tell you is that whenever he stepped up to international level (as he did several times) he never performed. Most likely as his fitness wasn't up to the standard of international football. Sad but true.
