Which Premier League striker?


Recommended Posts

Only one answer to be honest, even if he is a diving f***er.

 

Torres also dives.

 

Example please.

 

Weird that diving is brought up yet no one mentions Rooney, he's just as bad as Drogba ffs.

 

v Man United? (it's on youtube, as well as lots of other dives of his).

Yup. He ran past the right back I think and then clipped his own heel, and fell on the floor. The commentators didn't make a big deal about it saying "it'll only matter if something happens from this(free kick)"

Diving is okay providing you really are being fouled.

 

The sad fact is that if you're being hacked, the ref is far more inclined to give you a pen or a free kick if you go over. Everyone knows this. So in certain situations, strikers will go down even though they're strong enough to stagger to their feet. It's only sensible to get the free kick rather than try to keep going and lose the ball.

 

Strikers get good at this through lots of practice. Sympathy goes to the midfielder Darren Fletcher, who was blatantly fouled in the area on Tuesday but who added far too much theatre when he went over, kicking his heels up in the air. He got a yellow card, effectively for bad acting.
