ponsaelius Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 We're absolutely fine at playing out from the back, what a load of tripe. Definitely, was one of the reasons we did well today. No more hoofing nonsense, please. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 Williamson should have really buried that header late on. Really good chance. It always surprises me how often centre-backs get excellent goalscoring opportunities but head them over. I guess they concentrate so much on heading the ball up and away that they simply can't help themselves when required to head it down. Considering the number of set pieces in matches I wonder why more emphasis isn't put on them scoring. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No more hoofing nonsense, please. In the last two games when we've had Ameobi and Carroll on at the same time the team seem to stop playing and just lump balls at them.

It always surprises me how often centre-backs get into goalscoring positions but head them over. I guess they concentrate so much on heading the ball up and away that they simply can't help themselves when required to head it down. Considering the number of set pieces in matches I wonder why more emphasis isn't put on them scoring. Probably wasn't anticipating Barton putting in a good corner tbf.

I suppose one of the primary attributes of being a great finisher is anticipation/composure infront of goal*. I'd imagine a centre-back doesn't have that in abundance, like a good striker does. *FM mental stats ftw! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 Can understand not being composed when the ball is at your feet, no excuse for a header IMO Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 Can understand not being composed when the ball is at your feet, no excuse for a header IMO Really? I'd say it comes to the forefront even more so when it's a header. You've only got one chance to bury it... when it's on the floor you can control set yourself. You've got a split second to get it right with a header. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't have a chance to think about it and psyche your self out of it though it's instinctual so I'd imagine composure wouldn't factor into it.

Dave Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 At the time I was so pissed off about the 'penalty' that I didn't even realise that it was outside the box. What exactly is the linesman for? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
