captainhaircut Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 Just caught Shearers v Everton and it reminded me of that side. Shearer, Robert and Solano could all strike them as could Bernard. We even had Ambrose and Jenas who occasionally caught one well. Who do we have nowadays, (edit: except Oba)? I can't remember the last time someone had a strike from outside the box and I fancied it to go in. When was the last time we scored one? Or even came close to scoring one? I've been racking my brains for a bit and the one I came up with was N'Zogbia V Boro last year. Bit depressing if thats it. A whole season without a goal from outside the box.

Troll Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 I'm sure Butt got one last season. Not that he should make a habit of trying though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Stephen927 Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 Barton has got a canny strike on him from distance. Not exactly prolific though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
captainhaircut Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 Not too many then. I think the point I was getting at was that we don't really have that threat anymore. Can Zog, Oba, Jonas or Joey provide it? Just looking at games over the last few weeks you can see its an important feature of the game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 I can see Coloccini getting one 30-40 yarder at some point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
QBG Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 I know what you mean, it's not even with long range now. It's any free kick, I sigh and think who do we have that could just hit it here and have a realistic chance of going in. When we had Robert and Shearer every time we got a free kick you though we could score. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HongKongMag Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 Guthrie can certainly hit them, as can Martins. Barton maybe, but to be honest none of them are in the same league as Robert or Shearer. Anyone else remember Spurs 0 - Robert 2? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ElDiablo Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 Our play's too slow for anyone to ever get a chance to shoot from distance, by the time we get up there the other team have 8/9 men back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
