Optimistic Nut Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 I think the ball too. Robert had a technique where if he hit the ball spot on it was perfect, but could use the exact same technique but maybe hit it a centimetre or so out, it'd look ghastly and hit the first man.

PSV Uefa QF being the perfect example. Dictionary definition of how to take a corner. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beren Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 The delivery is important, but the movement and aerial prowess is severely downplayed (and worse) these days, especially at Newcastle. Compare Sissoko with Speed ffs, it's humiliating. Man Utd had excellent movement in the box on set pieces under Ferguson. Always some late runs into the box.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 Yep, it's at least as much about the desire/ability of the players in the box to be the first to head it. Obviously all of this is rendered obsolete if you just howk it to a CB at the back post and always lose the challenge. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 I think the ball too. Robert had a technique where if he hit the ball spot on it was perfect, but could use the exact same technique but maybe hit it a centimetre or so out, it'd look ghastly and hit the first man. He struck the ball really high to impart heavy topsin. When he struck it right it was so fucking beautiful and unstoppable. Twas a routine he, Shearer, Speed and others worked on in training.

Village Idiot Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Interesting Copa del Rey draw. Atlético, Madrid and Barcelona on the same side of the draw, with only one of them getting to semi-finals. http://img02.mundodeportivo.com/2014/10/17/Asi-queda-el-cuadro-de-la-Copa_54418001767_54115221154_600_396.jpg Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

henke Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 Did anyone see Soccer AM yesterday? I only caught a minute but I'd love to hear what David Bentley had to say, from the brief part I seen he was slating modern football. He sounded like Ronnie O'Sullivan.

Hanshithispantz Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 It's ironic as David Bentley was pretty much the embodiment of the 'modern footballer'. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
