Truth Behind Rhian Brewster And Robbie Fowler Comparisons.
Young Liverpool striker Rhian Brewster has earned plaudits and headlines with three goals in two substitute appearances over pre-season, but comparisons with Robbie Fowler are somewhat wide of the mark, explains Andrew Beasley
Fowler was far more established at Brewster’s current age, having already netted 49 senior goals for Liverpool.
But the similarities, being goalscorers who can strike from anywhere, remain and Brewster’s loan spell at Swansea stacks up well in comparison to the Championship’s other strikers.
He ranked among the top ten for goals per 90 minutes and shot accuracy, the top five for non-penalty goals and shots on target resulting in goals and second place, just one per cent behind the top name for shot conversion.
