Kid Icarus Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 1 hour ago, AyeDubbleYoo said: Even at the end of the season you could see he was on the right track. Trying to pass more and get into more space. Think he’s going to have a superb season once Bruno and Isak are in place. You could spot who hadn't been watching him properly when they claimed he didn't pass or use the overlap from Targett/Joelinton. He was doing it loads at the back end of last season.

I'm not a fan of it, but note also that he scored the goal while playing as a central striker. That tactic did work this time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's only really worked once and that was yesterday, and that was a moment of individual brilliance, rather than tactical genius. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heron Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 Having been critical of him previously, I'm pleased to say he has improved primarily in his decision making, if he continues to listen and improve the output of his game i. e. Goals and assists he could become a bit of a beast like. Undoubtedly a talented player, just needs to forget his own hype a little bit at the right times and use it at others. When he's on song he has our fanbase on the edge of their seats like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's hard enough to hit a strike like that if you're standing still waiting for the ball to drop. To do it while sprinting, as ASM did, is phenomenal.

Aye, I remember years ago having an argument with a group of lads in the Strawberry cause Shola tried similar and tbf the ball went even higher and he completely fucked it. They were screaming about how shit he was etc. And I was just like "here mate have you ever tried to volley a baal like that man you're talking utter shite." It's an incredibly difficult thing to do, for timing, balance, control etc. Etc. and despite the number of good goals this weekend it's got to be up there for goal of the month and of the season.

madras Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 When he first hits it I thought he shinned it. Had the freeze frame on the tele and you just can't tell. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HTT II Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 As my boys’ coach says, if you have the intent and catch it right, that’s all that matters, whether you shin it or it takes a deflection. We all know he has the technique and his intent was to smash it towards goal and he hit the sweet spot. There is no rule in football saying you can’t use your shin or toe or arse or whatever. It was a fantastic goal and volleying is the hardest technique of all! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ9 Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 I don’t know why, but I feel I’d have a better chance of hitting a ball like that on the run. Probs because standing still I would have no chance at all. I’d need to luck out without thinking about it. Standing still, my enemy would be the doubt while waiting. Anyway, practically zero chance I would connect never mind hit the target Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagMal Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 I think he has started to come round to Eddie's way of thinking, team before individual, and he is starting to look better for it. He was given too much leeway under Bruce and it has taken him a while to adjust to not been the loose cannon, match winning main man. I think if he continues this could be a really good season for him and if he keeps it up he could be an outside bet for a world Cup place. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tsunami Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 There’s no way he’s shinned that. Seems like he slightly cuts across it to help control it. Top of the boot yes, if he shins it the ball just doesn’t follow that trajectory. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lush Vlad Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 Is he injured, or was he taken off as a precaution? Not read any comments from Howe. Already missing 2 of our 3 best attackers. If he is out as well, then we are fucked. Isak might be getting more minutes earlier than planned. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shearer has always said that was a bit of a fluke, but there have not been many better with his technique at cleanly striking a football, hard, deftly, long range, short range, on the volley etc. his technique was as good as any period and he always downplays his standard/level/ability for some reason.
