Nepharite Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 An indicator of how well he's progressing, given his chance, is that Lvl 7 started chanting his name yesterday. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flip Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 Was very good yesterday, and for the first time ever looked like a decent footballer. Was able to beat his man for the first time and tried to play some good balls. Got nothing bad to say about him for once. Hope he keeps on improving as it will prove that maybe we won't need to spend huge money on two strikers and only one. However, damn I'd look to bring Sturridge in, looked like a really good footballer yesterday. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't at the West Ham game, can imagine why they sang his praises, but can't remember any chants for him against Spuds or Arsenal? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Merse Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 I think a strike partner is more a concern than besty - Lovenkrandts has the intelligence but lacks any physical edge but not sure ranger could start and be effective over the ninety Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arsenal game I think, pretty much all the ones he's scored in I guess. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coach Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 LEON BEST IS RIGHT FOOTED. ffs. Wrong. He is a natural lefty, but is capable of hitting it well with right as well. A natural right footed player wouldn't make the 3 against West Ham the way he did with his left if he was a righty. Specially the last one... He's really growing on me as a player. And all the knocks he keeps getting is pure overload of his body after all those injuries. It will get better, so will his finishing as he keeps getting reps in the starting lineup. Maybe he can fullfill his raw talent from the Southampton/Notts County days in Newcastle. Sure hope so.. A player like Christian Eriksen is a natural righty but is able to hit it almost as well with his left. Same goes for Best - just the other way around.

A natural right footed player wouldn't make the 3 against West Ham the way he did with his left if he was a righty. Specially the last one... FFS! He's right footed. He ushers the ball with his right foot. The big advantage with being two footed, is that you're able to shoot early, regardless of which foot the ball lands on. Thus you save time and avoid being closed down. IE if the ball lands on Best's left foot, he shoots with his left, and if the ball lands on his right, he shoots with that one. Van Persie on the other hand has to switch the ball over to his favorable left foot if it lands on his right. And that's precisely why Best finished all goals against WH with his left. In all three situations, the ball landed on his left, and that's why he finished with that foot. At least one of those goals could have been saved if he had switched over to his right. I actually speak of experience. The only strength I have on the pitch is that I'm two footed. In other words, to avoid being closed down, I shoot with the foot the ball lands on..
